The answer is B. One plate slides past another.
The San Andreas Fault in California and the Alpine Fault in New Zealand are examples of transform boundaries.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Explanation:
There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.
momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s
= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.
momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s
= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .
Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .
Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ
vertical component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ
For making total momentum in the plane zero
.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s
.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s
Dividing
Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83
θ = 40⁰.
The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.
B because it is the only evidence that displays an effect from the field without contact
B. by taking measurements during an experiment
