Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges. Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

It makes no difference. The momentum of either car goes to zero in both cases.

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind

Alex777 [14]

The resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Why?

We can calculate the resultant speed of the plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem since both speeds are perpendicular (forming a right triangle).

So, calculating we have:

$ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}$

$ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}$

Hence, we have that the resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?

horrorfan [7]

For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ

Only two horizontal forces act on a 3.0 kg body that can move over a frictionless floor. one force is 9.0 n, acting due east, an

Zolol [24]

The first thing you should do for this case is to find the horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the body.
We have then:
Horizontal = 9-9.2cos (58) = 4.124742769 N.
Vertical = 9.2sin (58) = 7.802042485 N
Then, the resulting net force is:
F = √ ((4.124742769) ^ 2 + (7.802042485) ^ 2) = 8.825268826 N
Then by definition:
F = m * a
Clearing the acceleration:
a = F / m
a = (8.825268826) / (3.0) = 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
answer:
The magnitude of the body's acceleration is
2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
