In the theory of plate tectonics, various segments of Earths crust, called plates, move toward and away from each other. In one

instance, the plate that consists of the Indian subcontinent drifted from southeastern Africe to its current position in asia, traveling at a speed of 15cm/y. This plate collided with Asia, forming the Himalayan mountain range in the process. Most of this formation occurred during the last 1.00 x 10^7 years, during which time the indian subcontinents motion has slowed to about 5 cm/y. What has been the acceleration in units of cm/y^2, of the indian subcontinent during this time period.

Answer:

-1.00 × 10⁻⁶ cm/y²

Explanation:

Using a = (v - u)/t where a = acceleration of the indian subcontinent, v = final speed of the indian subcontinent = 5 cm/y, u = initial speed of the indian subcontinent = 15 cm/y, and t = time of motion of the indian subcontinent = 1.00 × 10⁷ years.

Substituting the values of the variables, we find the acceleration of the indian subcontinent, a  = (v - u)/t = (5 cm/y - 15 cm/y)/1.00 × 10⁷ years = -10 cm/y ÷ 1.00 × 10⁷ years = -1.00 × 10⁻⁶ cm/y²

Near Earth, the density of protons in the solar wind (a stream of particles from the Sun) is 12.5 cm-3, and their speed is 564 k
morpeh [17]

Answer:

A) 11.28 x 10^(7) A.m²

B) 2.258 x 10^(17)A

Explanation:

A) The current density is given by the formula ;

J = nqv

Where n is the density of protons in the solar wind which is 12.5 cm³ or 12.5 x 10^(-6) m³

q is the proton charge which is 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

v is velocity which is 564km or 564000m

Thus, J = 12.5 x 10^(-6) x 1.6 x 10^(-19) x 564000 = 11.28 x 10^(7) A.m²

B) the formula for the total current the earth received is given as;

I = JA

The effective area is the cross section of the earth and thus,

Area = πr² where r is the radius of the earth given as: 6.371 x 10^(6)

A = π(6.371 x 10^(6)) ²

So I = 11.28 x 10^(7) x π(6.371 x 10^(6))² = 2.258 x 10^(17)A

Answer:

2. decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth

Explanation:

To increase the gravitational force on a space shuttle, it is a good thing to decrease the distance of the space shuttle from the earth.

This is based on the Newton's law of universal gravitation which states that "the gravitational force between two bodies is a directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

 Mathematically;

           F  = \frac{G m_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }  

G is the universal gravitation constant, it cannot be changed

m is the mass of the body

r is the distance

  Since the distance is inversely proportional, is we reduce it, the value of the gravitational force will increase.

An asteroid has a mean radius equal to 17 times that of Earth. Using Kepler's 3rd law find its period. T^2=a^3
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

If T^2 = a^3

T1^2 / T2^2 = a1^3 / a2^3

Or T2^2 = T1^2 * ( a2^3 / a1^3)

Given T1 = 1 yr and a2 / a1 = 17

Then T2^2 = 1 * 17^3

or T2 = 70 yrs

A circuit contains three 1,200 ohm resistors connected in parallel. The circuit's supply voltage is 12 VDC. What is the total po
Llana [10]
-- The net effective resistance of three 1200-ohm resistors in
parallel is (1200/3) = 400 ohms.  That's what the battery sees.

-- Power = (voltage)² / (resistance)

               =      (12²)    /      (400)

               =        144    /      400

               =             0.36 watt . 

There's no such thing as "power in the circuit".

0.36 watt is the power dissipated by the resistors.
It's the rate at which the battery must supply energy,
and the rate at which the resistors blow it off in the form
of heat, for as long as the battery lasts.
