The Pinnacles and Neenach volcanics are 23.5 million-year-old andesite to rhyolite outcrops, on either side of the San Andreas F

ault, today separated by ~320 kilometers. If they were originally products of the same eruptive center, they have been offset along the San Andreas Fault by 320 kilometers in 23.5 million years. What is the rate of offset in centimeters per year?

Answer:

v = 1.36 cm / y

Explanation:

For this exercise we must assume that the displacement of the plates is constant over time, so we will use the kinematic relationships for the uniform movement

      v = d / t

We reduce the quantities to the SI system

     d = 320 km (1000 m / 1km) (100 cm / 1 m)

     d = 3.2 107 cm

let's calculate

     v = 32.107 / 23.5 106

     v = 1.36 cm / y

A tow truck is pulling 25,000 kg van with a tow hook that meets the van at an angle of 30° with the ground. How much force must
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

86605.08 N

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the force is:

Force = mass * acceleration

The force and the acceleration does not have the same direction in this case, so we need to decompose the force into its horizontal component, which is the force that will generate the horizontal acceleration:

Force_x = Force * cos(30)

Then, we have that:

Force_x = mass * acceleration

Force * cos(30) = 25000 * 3

Force * 0.866 = 75000

Force = 75000 / 0.866 = 86605.08 N

Help me with this physics math?
solong [7]
Ok. PEMDAS tells us to take care of the square first. When we do that, the denominator becomes

(6.4)^2 x 10^12

= 40.96 x 10^12 .

Now it's just a matter of mashing out the fraction.

The 'mantissa' (the number part) is

6/40.96 = 0.1465

and the order of magnitude is

10^24 / 10^12 = 10^12 .

Put it all together and you've got

1.465 x 10^11 .
