Answer:
166 666 666.7 years
Explanation:
We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.
We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart
So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart
t = distance/speed
t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
Answer:
Very sorry if this is late
Explanation:
Currently, in Olympia, Washington, it is raining because a cold front with high pressure has met an area with low pressure. This occurs due to the fact that storms are caused by sudden differences in air pressure.
Answer:
a) 1.73*10^5 J
b) 3645 N
Explanation:
106 km/h = 106 * 1000/3600 = 29.4 m/s
If KE = PE, then
mgh = 1/2mv²
gh = 1/2v²
h = v²/2g
h = 29.4² / 2 * 9.81
h = 864.36 / 19.62
h = 44.06 m
Loss of energy = mgΔh
E = 780 * 9.81 * (44.06 - 21.5)
E = 7651.8 * 22.56
E = 172624.6 J
Thus, the amount if energy lost is 1.73*10^5 J
Work done = Force * distance
Force = work done / distance
Force = 172624.6 / (21.5/sin27°)
Force = 172624.6 / 47.36
Force = 3645 N
Answer:
The acceleration is 2.2 m/s^2
Explanation:
In the attached image, we can see the free body diagram. And using the second law of Newton it will be possible to find the acceleration of the box.
