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 ball moving at positive 3.0 m per s along a table rolls off a table and lands on the ground 2.0 m away. How high was the table
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s

X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m

a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²

t = time taken to land = ?

using the kinematics equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²

t = 2/3


consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s

Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h

a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²

t = time taken to land = 2/3

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²

h = 2.2 m


C 2.2 m

Please help if you can.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh

E = 2.4 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh

E = 1.2 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80

total money saved in 1 year

Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80

What is motion and explain also<br>​
N76 [4]

Answer:

the action or process of moving or being moved.

Explanation:

In physics, motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position over time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time.
