In tectonics, vertical displacement is the shifting of land in a vertical direction, resulting in a long term change in elevation. Two types of vertical displacement are uplift, an increase in elevation, and subsidence, a decrease in elevation.

A wheel is rotating at a rate of 2.0 rev every 3.0s. through what angle, in radian , does the wheel rotate in 1.0s?

igomit [66]

Answer:

$4 \pi$

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert 2.0 rev into radians:

$1.0 rev = 2\pi rad\\2.0 rev = 4 \pi rad$

This means that the angular speed of the wheel is

$\omega = 2.0 rev/s = 4 \pi rad/s$

The angle through which the wheel rotates in a time t is given by

$\theta=\omega t$

And substituting t=1.0 s, we find

$\theta=(4\pi rad/s)(1.0 s)=4 \pi rad$

A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele

kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'$

$h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

$h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.

sasho [114]

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.
