<h2>Answer: Nazca plate</h2>

Explanation:

The Nazca plate is an oceanic tectonic plate that is found in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America, specifically in front of the north and central coast of Chile and the entire coastline of Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. This plate is in constant motion, which causes it to sink under the South American (phenomenon known as subduction).

It is mainly because of this subduction process that this region has a lot of seismic activity. Another important aspect is that thanks to these movements, the Andes mountain range and the Peruvian-Chilean fossa originated.

If the mass of the object and the volume of the object is determined;

Then, the density of the object is determined by taking the ratio of the mass and volume.

<h3>What is density of an object?</h3>

The density of an object is the ratio of the mass and volume of that object.

Mathematically;

Density = mass/volume

To determine the density of an object therefore, the physical characteristics of mass and the volume of the object are measured.

The mass of the object is obtained using a scale or a balance.

The volume of the object if a solid is obtained using a displacement bottle. If it is a liquid, a measuring cylinder is used.

The density of the object is then obtained by taking the ratio of the mass and the volume of the object.

In conclusion, the density of an object is determined from the volume and mass ratio.

A truck tire rotates at an initial angular speed of 21.5 rad/s. The driver steadily accelerates, and after 3.50 s the tire's ang

erma4kov [3.2K]

Given:

initial angular speed, $\omega _{i}$ = 21.5 rad/s

final angular speed, $\omega _{f}$ = 28.0 rad/s

time, t = 3.50 s

Solution:

Angular acceleration can be defined as the time rate of change of angular velocity and is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega _{i}}{t}$

Now, putting the given values in the above formula:

$\alpha = \frac{28.0 - 21.5}{3.50}$

$\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, angular acceleration is:

$\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}$
