Answer:

Earthquakes and volcanoes generate the great majority of tsunamis, and the theory of plate tectonics explains the cause of earthquakes and volcanoes. ... The San Andreas fault in California occurs at this type of plate boundary. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other.

Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the

mash [69]

Answer:

The value is $} N = 66 \ blocks$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is $W_b = 100 \ N$

The dimension of the block is $d = 0.400 m \ X \ 0.250 \ m \ X \ 0.130 \ m$

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

$P_{2atm} = 2 * 1.013 *10^{5} = 202600 \ N/m^2$

Generally 1 atm = $1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2$

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

$A = 0.250 * 0.130$

=> $A = 0.0325 \ m^2$

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

$F = N * W_b$

Here N is the number of blocks

$} 202600 = \frac{N * 100 }{ 0.0325}$

=> $} N = 66 \ blocks$

How did J.J. Thomson's experiments demonstrate that Dalton's model of the atom was incorrect?

morpeh [17]

The correct option is C.
J.J Thompson demonstrated that Dalton's model of the atomic theory was wrong by showing that atoms are made up of sub particles, this is contrary to the report that Dalton gave about atoms. In his experiment, Dalton reported that atoms are indivisible, that is, they can not be broken down into smaller particles. J.J Thompson on the other was able to show through his cathode ray experiment that atoms are made up of smaller particles called electrons.
