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.

The world's fastest production sportscar has a top speed of 415 kmh-1(a)Convert this speed to ms-1.[ 1](b)The distance from Lond
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

(a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

Explanation:

Given that,

Top speed = 415 km/h

1 miles = 1609 m

(a). We need to calculate the speed in m/s

Using conversion of km/h to m/s

v=415\ km/h

v=415\times\dfrac{5}{18}

v=115.28\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the distance from London to Edinburgh in km

Using conversion for distance

d=403\ miles

Distance in meter,

d=403\times1609

d=648427\ m

d=648.427\ km

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{648.427}{415}

t=1.56\ h

t=1\ hours 34\ min

t= 94\ min

(c). Speed v' =7.66 km/s

v'=7660 m/s

In the time it takes the car to travel from London to Edinburgh,

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

d'=v'\times t

Put the value into the formula

d'=7660\times94\times60

d'=43202400\ m

d'=43202.400\ km

(d). Speed :

Speed is equal to the distance divided by time.

It is scalar quantity.

Velocity :

Velocity is equal to the displacement divided by time.

It is vector quantity.

Hence, (a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

An electron is projected vertically upward with a speed of 1.70 ✕ 106 m/s into a uniform magnetic field of 0.320 t that is direc
Serggg [28]
The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.

In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)

This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.

* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.

A potentialiterence of 12 volts is induced across a straight wire 0.20 meters long as it is moved at a constant speed of 3.0 met
shtirl [24]

Strength of the magnetic field: 20 T

Explanation:

For a conductive wire moving perpendicular to a magnetic field, the electromotive force (voltage) induced in the wire due to electromagnetic induction is given by

\epsilon=BvL

where

B is the strength of the magnetic field

v is the speed of the wire

L is the length of the wire

For the wire in this problem, we have:

\epsilon=12 V (induced emf)

L = 0.20 m (length of the wire)

v = 3.0 m/s (speed)

Solving  for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

B=\frac{\epsilon}{vL}=\frac{12}{(0.20)(3.0)}=20 T
