Answer:

Explanation:

The uplift caused a wide range of elevations and climates in the Sierra Nevada, which are reflected by the presence of five life zones (areas with similar plant and animal communities).

This question may require more information to provide a more accurate answer.

A fault block mountain range is formed by tension as rocks are pulled away from each other. A fault block is a section of rock bounded on at least two sides by faults.
Faults commonly break the crust into large, fault bounded blocks. If normal faults down drop one fault block relative to other blocks on either side, the resulting feature is called a Graben.
A block that is uplifted relative to blocks in either side is called a horst.

When you step on the accelerator to increase the speed of your car, the force that accelerates the car is: A. the force of your
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

B. the force of friction of the road on the tires

Explanation:

Unless the car engine is like jet engine, the main force that accelerates the car forward is the force of friction of the road on the tires, which is ultimately driven by the force of engine on the tires shaft. As the engine, and the shaft are part of the system, their interaction is internal. According to Newton laws of motion, the acceleration needs external force, in this case it's the friction of the road on the tires.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t
enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more

The potential energy of a catapult was completely converted into kinetic energy by releasing a small stone with a mass of 20 gra
DerKrebs [107]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
20 grams = 0.02 kilogram

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

                           (1/2) (0.02) x (15)² =

                                 (0.01)  x  (225)  =  2.25 joules

A bicyclist is travelling at 25 m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2 . How fast is travelling after 5 seconds
Umnica [9.8K]

Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s

acceleration (a) = -4 m/s^{2}

time interval (t) = 5 sec

let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf

As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. V_{f} = V_{i} + at

Hence, V_{f} = 25 +(-4)(5) = 25 -20 = 5 m/s

so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec
