<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.

A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding
Yuki888 [10]

For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.

Momentum is given by,

p=mv

where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.

Substituting,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

<em>It is the same that part a)</em>
