Distance = speed/time
width/distance given is 2.9*10^3 miles
1 mile=1.6*10^6mm
total distance now is 2.9*1.6*10^9
speed is 25 mm/yr
plug the values,
therefore the rift takes approximately 185600000 years for a width <span>of 2.9 x 10^3 mi.</span>
Answer:
The horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g.
Explanation:
This is because, the projectile has both vertical and horizontal components of velocity. But, its vertical component of velocity changes as the object moves whereas, its horizontal component of velocity remains constant.
Also, the projectile has only vertical component of acceleration and no horizontal component of acceleration since, its horizontal component of velocity remains constant. Thus, no change in the horizontal component of velocity.
The vertical component of acceleration is equal to -g since, the weight is the only vertical force acting on it.
So, <u>the horizontal component of its velocity remains constant and the vertical component of its acceleration is equal to -g.</u>
