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

Why is our (a person's) gravitational pull NOT as strong as the Earth's gravitational pull
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:With gravity, two things with mass will want to move toward each other. However, we humans don't feel our gravity pulling on another person because it's not very big, but we do all feel the pull of Earth's gravity all the time - we're not all floating in the air, because that would be happening without Earth's gravity!

How are theories and laws connected ​
Anni [7]

Answer:

Laws are statements about something that's been observed and stated while a theory is an explanation of what's been observed. This connection between them forms a main idea that many people regulate as "what's normal."
