Answer:
166 666 666.7 years
Explanation:
We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.
We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart
So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart
t = distance/speed
t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
The planets have (their) moons. So the answer would be planets.
Answer:
The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.
Answer:
A) s = 796.38 m
B) t = 12.742 s
C) T = 25.484 s
Explanation:
A) First of all let's find the time it takes to get to maximum height using Newton's first equation of motion.
v = u + gt
u = 125 m/s
v = 0 m/s
g = 9.81 m/s²
Thus;
0 = 125 - 9.81(t)
g is negative because motion is against gravity. Thus;
9.81t = 125
t = 125/9.81
t = 12.742 s
Max height will be gotten from Newton's 2nd equation of motion;
s = ut + ½gt²
s = (125 × 12.742) + (½ × -9.81 × 12.742²)
s = 1592.75 - 796.37
s = 796.38 m
B) time to reach maximum height is;
t = u/g
t = 125/9.81
t = 12.742 s
C) Total time elapsed is;
T = 2u/g
T = 2 × 125/9.81
T = 25.484 s
