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

A ball is thrown straight up with a launch of 3 m/s.
PtichkaEL [24]

Explanation:

The ball is in free fall (gravity is the only force acting on the ball), so its acceleration is 9.8 m/s² down during the entire path.

When Dr. Hewitt immerses an object in water the second time and catches the water that is displaced by the object, how does the
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

- The volume of water displaced by immersing the object is equal the amount of water spilled and caught by Dr. Hewitt.

- The amount of water is proportional to the volume of object of fraction of object immersed in water will lead to the same fraction of water displaced and caught by Dr. Hewitt.  

- When the object is immersed the force of Buoyancy acts against the weight and reducing the scale weight.

- The amount of Buoyancy Force is proportional to the fraction of Volume of object immersed in water; hence, the same amount is spilled/lost.

A local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 696 KHz. Calculate the energy of the frequency at which it is broadcasting
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

E=4.61\times 10^{-28}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of local AM radio station, f = 696 KHz = 696000 Hz

We need to find the energy of the frequency at which it is broadcasting.

We know that,

Energy of a wave, E = hf

Where

h is Planck's constant

Put all the values,

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 696000\\\\=4.61\times 10^{-28}\ J

So, the energy of the wave is equal to4.61\times 10^{-28}\ J.

g Warm water in a geothermal heating system enters the pipe of a radiator at 20 psia and 119oF with a flow rate of 235 cfm (ft3/
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Notice that the condenser section includes both the hot water and space heater and station (3) is specified as being in the Quality region. Assume that 50°C is a reasonable maximum hot water temperature for home usage, thus at a high pressure of 1.6 MPa, the maximum power available for hot water heating will occur when the refrigerant at station (3) reaches the saturated liquid state. (Quick Quiz: justify this statement). Assume also that the refrigerant at station (4) reaches a subcooled liquid temperature of 20°C while heating the air.

Using the conditions shown on the diagram and assuming that station (3) is at the saturated liquid state

a) On the P-h diagram provided below carefully plot the five processes of the heat pump together with the following constant temperature lines: 50°C (hot water), 13°C (ground loop), and -10°C (outside air temperature)

b) Using the R134a property tables determine the enthalpies at all five stations and verify and indicate their values on the P-h diagram.

c) Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant R134a. [0.0127 kg/s]

d) Determine the power absorbed by the hot water heater [2.0 kW] and that absorbed by the space heater [0.72 kW].

e) Determine the time taken for 100 liters of water at an initial temperature of 20°C to reach the required hot water temperature of 50°C [105 minutes].

f) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the hot water heater [COPHW = 4.0] (defined as the heat absorbed by the hot water divided by the work done on the compressor)

g) Determine the Coefficient of Performance of the heat pump [COPHP = 5.4] (defined as the total heat rejected by the refrigerant in the hot water and space heaters divided by the work done on the compressor)

h) What changes would be required of the system parameters if no geothermal water loop was used, and the evaporator was required to absorb its heat from the outside air at -10°C. Discuss the advantages of the geothermal heat pump system over other means of space and water heating

Answer:

PAPER CLIPS ON NOSE OF A PAPER AIRPLANE

Purpose: To determine if the number of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane affects the velocity and speed, measured in meters per seconds.

Make a Hypothesis Based on the Learning Thus Far: If the number of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane increases, then the speed will _increase______ (increase, decrease, stay the same) in a __linear_______ (linear, exponential, logarithmic) mathematical relationship, and the velocity will (increase, decrease, stay the same) in a __exponential____ (linear, exponential, logarithmic) mathematical relationship. (Fill in the appropriate words for your hypothesis.)

Pictures: Insert at least 3 pictures of yourself conducting the experiment into this lab report. At least 2 pictures must show your face as you conduct the investigation. You may need to ask someone to help take these photos.
