Answer:

B. convergent boundary

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries, where ocean plates are subducted at trenches, produce the most tsunamis because they produce the largest earthquakes

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.

The operating temperature of a tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb is 2450 K, and its emissivity is 0.350. Find the

natulia [17]

Answer:

The value is $A = 2.80 *10^{-4} \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The operating temperature is $T = 2450 \ K$

The emissivity is $e = 0.350$

The power rating is $P = 200 \ W$

Generally the area is mathematically represented as

$A = \frac{P}{ e * \sigma * T^2}$

Where $\sigma$ is the Stefan Boltzmann constant with value

$\sigma = 5.67 *10^{-8} \ W/m^2\cdot K^4$

$A = \frac{200}{0.350 * 5.67*10^{-8} * 2450^{4}}$

$A = 2.80 *10^{-4} \ m^2$

A spring stretches 0.2 cm per newton of applied force. An object is suspended from the spring and a deflection of 3 cm is observ

siniylev [52]

Answer:

$m=1.53kg$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:

$F=k*\Delta x$ (1)

F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.

The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:

1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm

The force applied is due to the weight

$F=mg$

We replace in (1):

$mg=k*\Delta x$

We solve the equation for m:

$m=k*\Delta x/g=5*3/9.81=1.53kg$
