How are hot spots used to track plate motion

The diagram shows a series of volcanic island and a hot spot determine the direction of movement of the tectonic plate that for the island

Electromagnetic induction. a coil of wire contains n turns and has an electrical resistance r. the radius of each turn is a. initially, inside the coil there exists a uniform magnetic field of magnitude b0 parallel to the axis of the coil. the magnetic field is then reduced slowly. the current induced in the coil is i. how long does it take for the magnitude of the uniform field to drop to zero?

On a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/s.(a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? (b) is this collision elastic?
