What type of plate boundary decreases the amount of the Earth's crust?

Physics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago

Answer:

Convergent.

Explanation:

Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.

a wire of a certain material has resistance r and diameter d a second wire of the same material and length is found to have resi
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

<h2>d₂ = 3d</h2><h2>The diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating the resistivity of an object to find the diameter.

Resistivity P = RA/L

R is the resistance of the material

A is the cross sectional area

L is the length of the material

Since A = πd²/4

P = R( πd²/4)/L

P = Rπd²/4L ... 1

If the second wire of the same material and length is found to have resistance R/9, the resistivity of the second material will be;

P₂ = (R/9)A₂/L₂

P₂ = (R/9)(πd₂²/4)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²/36)/L₂

P₂ = (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Since the length and resistivity are the same;

P = P₂  and L =L₂

Equating 1 and 2;

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L₂

Rπd²/4L =  (Rπd₂²)/36L

d² = d₂²/9

d₂² = 9d²

Taking the square root of both sides;

√d₂² = √9d²

d₂ = 3d

Therefore the diameter of the second wire is 3 times that of the initial wire

Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?
ss7ja [257]

Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there. 

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different.  But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.
