Los Angeles lies on the Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on the North American plate, and the meeting point of the two cities is mathematically given as

T = 120 x 105 years

<h3>What is the meeting point of the two plates?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Distance is mathematically given as

D = Rate x Time

Therefore

T = D/R

T = (600 x 105) / 5

T = 120 x 105 years

In conclusion, the meeting point of the two plates will be

T = 120 x 105 years

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Complete question:

A 45-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If the switch is closed at time t = 0 s, what is the current 7.0 ms later?

Answer:

The current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A

Explanation:

Given;

Ideal inductor, L = 45-mH

Resistor, R =  60-Ω

Ideal voltage supply, V = 15-V

Initial current at t = 0 seconds:

I₀ = V/R

I₀  = 15/60 = 0.25 A

Time constant, is given as:

T = L/R

T = (45 x 10⁻³) / (60)

T = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ s

Change in current with respect to time, is given as;

I(t) = I_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{T}})

Current in the circuit after 7 ms later:

t = 7 ms = 7 x 10⁻³ s

I(t) = I_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{T}})\\\\I =0.25(1-e^{-\frac{7*10^{-3}}{7.5*10^{-4}}})\\\\I = 0.25(0.9999)\\\\I = 0.2499 \ A

Therefore, the current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force F_c. In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force f_sbetween the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:

f_s=F_c

And since f_s\leq \mu N and F_c=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}, we have:

\mu N\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Now, if we write the vertical equation of motion of the car (in which there are only the weight and the normal force), we obtain:

N-mg=0\\\\\\implies N=mg

Substituting this expression for N and solving for v, we get:

\mu mg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\\\v\leq \sqrt{\mu gr}

Finally, plugging in the given values for the coefficient of friction and the radius of the track, we have:

v\leq \sqrt{(0.42)(9.81m/s^{2})(84.0m)}\\\\v\leq 18.6m/s

It means that in its maximum value, the speed of the car is equal to 18.6m/s.

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.45 kg is rolling with a momentum of 9 kg*m/s, what is it's velocity?
Lelu [443]

Answer:  20 m/s

Explanation:

P = mv

since we're trying to find the velocity, you change the formula to v = P/m

v = ?

P = 9 kgm/s

m = 0.45 kg

v = 9 kgm/s / 0.45kg  = 20 m/s
