Answer:

b. Continental-oceanic

Explanation:

The Earth's crust has been divided into a series of plates. These plates move at a different rate or speed in different directions.

These plates are divided by the boundary between them which are of three types: convergent, transform and divergent.

The convergent boundaries are the one which moves toward each other and the based on the crust they are of three types: continent-continent, ocean-ocean and ocean-continent.

In ocean-continent boundaries, the oceanic plate is denser compared to the continental plate is lighter as a result of which during the process of subduction the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continental plate towards the mantle and melts.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.5 m/s.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Height as seen by the professor = 38.2 m

Explanation:

Angle of throw = θ = 69°

Velocity of throw = v

X component of velocity = v₁ = v cos 69 = 0.3584 v m/s

Vertical component of the velocity = v₂ =  v sin 69 = 0.9336 v m/s

v₂ / v₁ = tan 69 = 2.605

v₂ = 2.605 v₁.

Professor sees as if the x component of velocity =0

v (as seen by professor) + v'  = 0

=> v  as seen by professor = -v' = -10.5 m/s

This shows that y component of the ball's velocity is 2.605 times its x component of velocity.

with respect to the professor, there is only y component of velocity.

v₂' =v₂ = 2.605 ( -10.5) = 27.4 m/s.

Height as seen by the professor = (27.4)² / 2(9.8) = 38.2 m

Help, I’m stuck. Will give Brainly + 22 pts up for grabs !
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

let the speed of Allegra be x mph, then speed of Elliana is x+4 mph,

time to cover distance for Eliana is 2 hours, time to cover distance for Allegrais 2.5 hours,

since they both cover the same distance you have this,

distance (of Eliana) = distance (of Allegrais ),

distance=speed x time, so we have

speed (of Eliana) x time (of Eliana) = speed (of Allegra) x time (of Allegra),

2(x+4)=2.5x,

solve for x, then substitute back for speeds for Eliana and Allegra,

Eliana's speed = 16 + 4 = 20.

Allegra's speed = 16

According to this perspective, our personality is due to past, unresolved conflicts
lyudmila [28]

Answer: Correct, but I do not understand the question here. Yes, our personality is due to past unresolved conflicts. During my middle years, I was developing BPD without even knowing it, but that time period was very difficult. Now it is much less severe, however the wound remains unhealed.

You expend 1000 w of power moving a piano 10 meters in 5 seconds. how much force do you exert
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Force, F = 500 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Power expanded, P = 1000 W

Distance moved by piano, d = 10 m

Time taken, t = 5 s

To find,

The force exerted by the person

Solution,

The rate at which the work is being done is called power delivered. Its formula is given by:

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

W is the work done, W = F × d

P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}

On rearranging the above formula to find F as :

F=\dfrac{P t}{d}

F=\dfrac{1000\times 5}{10}

F = 500 N

Therefore, the force exerted on the person is 500 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
