Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.

The outside diameter of your teacher's rear bicycle tire is 16 inches. How far will he travel if the rear wheel makes 1200 revol
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

241,274.32 inches

Explanation:

How far will he travel if the rear wheel makes 1200 revolutions on the road?

Since the rear wheel makes one revolution in the distance of a circumference of a circle, C with diameter, d = 16 inches

C = πd²/4

So, the distance, travelled in 1200 revolutions is D = 1200 × C = 1200πd²/4

Substituting d = 16 into D, we have

D = 1200πd²/4

D = 1200π(16)²/4

D = 76800π

D = 241,274.32 inches

A 4-kilogram cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 3 meters high. What is the cat’s gravitational potential energy relati
hichkok12 [17]
The answer is 117.6 J

The potential energy of the object is actually its stored energy:

<span>E = m · g · h
E - the potential energy of the object,
m - the mass of the object,
g - acceleration due to gravity,
h - the height of the object.

m = 4 kg
g = 9.8 m/s</span>²
h = 3 m

E = 4 * 9.8 * 3 = 117.6 J

Suppose air resistance does not exist, roughly what would be the velocity of a 10 lb object 5-seconds into free fall off of a 50
ira [324]

Answer:

Correct answer :  v = 50 m/s

Explanation:

The movement described is a free fall with no initial velocity and we will use the following formula:

v = g · t   we take that g = 10 m/s²

v = 10 m/s²· 5 s = 50 m/s

v = 50 m/s

The time required to produce one cycle of a wave is known as the waves
eimsori [14]
The time described above is known as the waves Period.
The time which it takes for a particle to complete one full cycle is known as the period. Period is normally measured in seconds. Frequency on the other hand is the number of cycles which are completed in a given period of time e.g a second. periodic time T is given by reciprocal of frequency (1/f).

If you walk 5 km north and then 12 km east. Your resultant displacement is____.a. magnitude: 1.1km; direction: 53.1 degrees east
sweet [91]

Answer:

Resultant = 13km

Direction = 67.38° East of North

Explanation:

Given the following :

5km North ; 12km East

Resultant Displacement (r) :

r² = 5² + 12²

r² = 25 + 144

r² = 169

r = √169

r = 13

Direction:

Tangent = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Opposite = 12 ; adjacent = 5

Tanθ = (12/5)

Tanθ = 2.4

θ = tan^-1(2.4)

θ = 67.38° east of north
