A) GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics would be GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.

A GPS is a Global Positioning System made up of series of components.

Plate tectonics theory is the movement of the earth's lithosphere relative to one another.
The recent advances uses a GPS system to monitor real-time movement of the plates.
The GPS system is made up of a system of satellite in space that communicates real-times locations to sensors on the earth surface.
From the sensors, observatory stations can know and duly observe how plates are moving.

Water ice has a density of 0.91 g/cm2, so it will float in liquid water. Imagine you have a cube of ice, 10 cm on a side. a. Wha

Reptile [31]

Answer:

(i) W = 8.918 N

(ii) $V = 9.1 \times 10^{-4} m^3$

(iii) d = 9.1 cm

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that weight of cube is given as

$W = mg$

$W = \rho V g$

here we know that

$\rho = 0.91 g/cm^3$

$Volume = L^3$

$Volume = 10^3 = 1000 cm^3$

now the mass of the ice cube is given as

$m = 0.91 \times 1000 = 910 g$

now weight is given as

$W = 0.910 \times 9.8 = 8.918 N$

Part b)

Weight of the liquid displaced must be equal to weight of the ice cube

Because as we know that force of buoyancy = weight of the of the liquid displaced

$W_{displaced} = 8.918 N$

So here volume displaced is given as

$\rho_{water}Vg = 8.918$

$1000(V)9.8 = 8.918$

$V = 9.1 \times 10^{-4} m^3$

Part c)

Let the cube is submerged by distance "d" inside water

So here displaced water weight is given as

$W = \rho_{water} (L^2 d) g$

$8.918 = 1000(0.10^2 \times d) 9.8$

$d = 0.091 m$

so it is submerged by d = 9.1 cm inside water

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: $a=1016.66 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration $a$ is expressed in the following formula:

$a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}$

Where:

$V_{f}=610 m/s$ is the final velocity of the projectile

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the projectile

$t=0.6 s$ is the time

Solving:

$a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}$

$a=1016.66 m/s^{2}$ This is the acceleration of the projectile

If you need 40.0 Nm of torque in order to loosen a nut on a wn

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.301 m

Explanation:

Torque = Force × Radius

τ = Fr

40.0 Nm = 133 N × r

r = 0.301 m

The mechanic must apply the force 0.301 m from the nut.
