Answer:

True

Explanation:

How were the aleutian islands formed? In southwestern Alaska, those two plates meet head on, and the Pacific plate sinks beneath the North American plate. In this subduction zone, some of the ocean plate melts and the molten rock pushes to the surface in a string of 40 active volcanoes, forming the Aleutian Islands.

How does the resultant displacement change as the angle between two vectors increases from 90° to 120°?

user100 [1]

The resultant displacement between the two vectors will increase.

The resultant of the two vectors is given by parallelogram law of vectors.

The parallelogram law of vector addition states that if two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, the diagonal of the parallelogram drawn from the point of intersection of the vectors represents the resultant vector in magnitude and direction.

The resultant of these vectors, say vector A, and B, is given as;

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab.Cos (\theta )$

When;

θ = 90°

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2$

When;

θ = 120°

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2 + ab$

Thus, the resultant displacement between the two vectors will increase.

Suspend a heavy weight by two pieces of rope. Tension is greatest when the ropes

bija089 [108]

Assuming that the angle is the same for both ropes, then D. is the answer. You have to consider also if the ropes are close together or far apart and if the force to move the object is in line with the ropes or perpendicular to them.

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)

Inessa05 [86]

The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.
