How can two tectonic plates move relative to each other

They are doing the transform type of tectonic plate movement. This is a process where the plates move sideways. But they move at a rate of a few inches a year. Did that help you?

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change of state?

Andreas93 [3]

A "heating curve" is a graph that shows the temperature of the substance
against the amount of heat you put into it.

For most of the graph, as you'd expect, the temperature goes up as you
add heat, and it goes down as you take heat away. BUT ... While the
substance is changing state, its temperature doesn't change even though
you're putting heat in or taking heat out.

So that part of the graph is a horizontal line.

Two boxes are at rest on a smooth, horizontal surface. The boxes are in contact with one another. If box 1 is pushed with a forc

Maslowich

Answer:

mass of box 1 = 2.20 kg

mass of box 2 = 5.93 kg

Explanation:

Let the mass of box 1 and box 2 is respectively

$m_1$ and $m_2$

so we will have

Force applied on box 1 then acceleration

$a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2}$

$1.50 = \frac{12.2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$m_1 + m_2 = 8.13$

Now we know that contact force between them in above case is given as

$F_n = m_2a$

$8.90 = m_2(1.5)$

$m_2 = 5.93 kg$

now we have

$m_1 = 2.20 kg$

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica

grin007 [14]

Answer:

$f_e = 1.51 cm$

Explanation:

given.

magnification(m) = 400 x

focal length (f_0)= 0.6 cm

distance between eyepiece and lens (L)= 16 cm

Near point (N) = 25 cm

focal length of the eyepiece (f_e)= ?

using equation

$m = -\dfrac{L-f_e}{f_o}.\dfrac{N}{f_e}$

$400 = \dfrac{16-f_e}{0.6}.\dfrac{25}{f_e}$

$9.6 = \dfrac{16-f_e}{f_e}$

$9.6f_e = 16-f_e$

$10.6 f_e = 16$

$f_e = 1.51 cm$

A person can jump a maximum horizontal distance (by using a 45◦ projectile angle) of 5 m on Earth. The acceleration of gravity i

snow_lady [41]

Answer:30 m

Explanation:

Given

Maximum Horizontal distance is 5 m on earth

launching angle $=45^{\circ}$

Acceleration due to gravity on earth is $9.8 m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on moon is $\frac{9.8}{6}=1.63 m/s^2$

Range of projectile is given by

$R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

$R_{earth}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}=5$ ----1

$R_{moon}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{\frac{g}{6}}$ -----2

Divide 1 & 2

$\frac{5}{R_{moon}}=\frac{1}{6}$

$R_{moon}=30 m$
