Assume this is 22 degrees from the horizontal (x).
A vector can always be split into components - in this case we can think of the world in two dimensions, meaning the 72ms-1 has a vertical and a horizontal component. We therefore know the hypotenuse of the triangle (the overall velocity) and the angle from the ground. Hence we can use trigonometry to solve this problem.

We know x and the hypotenuse, and we want to know the magnitude of the adjacent side (horizontal), therefore we can use cosx=adj/hyp

Substituting:

Cos(22) = adj/72
Adj = 72cos22 = 66.8ms-1 = 67ms-1 to 2sf

Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal
azamat

Answer: 0.145 seconds

Explanation:

Given that Roger Clemens could routinely throw a fastball at a horizontal speed of 119.7 m/s. How long did the ball take to reach home plate 17.3 m away

Since the speed is horizontal

Using the formula for speed which is

Speed = distance/time

Where

Speed = 119.7 m/s

Distance covered = 17.3 m

Time is what we are looking for

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

119.7 = 17.3/ time

Make time the subject of formula

Time = 17.3 / 119.7

Time = 0.145 seconds.

Therefore, it will take 0.145 seconds to reach the home plates

As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

  • The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
  • At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
  • They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
  • Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.
