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.

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa
kotykmax [81]
Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is v_i=180~m/s, the final velocity is v_i=0~m/s, and the total time of the motion is \Delta t=0.02~s, so the acceleration is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2 
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.

A simple series circuit consists of a 120 Ω resistor, a 21.0 V battery, a switch, and a 3.50 pF parallel-plate capacitor (initia
slega [8]

Answer

Integral EdA = Q/εo =C*Vc(t)/εo = 3.5e-12*21/εo = 4.74 V∙m <----- A)

Vc(t) = 21(1-e^-t/RC) because an uncharged capacitor is modeled as a short.

ic(t) = (21/120)e^-t/RC -----> ic(0) = 21/120 = 0.175A <----- B)

Q(0.5ns) = CVc(0.5ns) = 2e-12*21*(1-e^-t/RC) = 30.7pC

30.7pC/εo = 3.47 V∙m <----- C)

ic(0.5ns) = 29.7ma <----- D)

What is the speed of sound at 33 °C (m/s)? For a frequency of 5 kHz, how large do you expect the wavelength to be (m)?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

-The speed of sound at 33°C is 362.8 m/s.

-The wavelength at a frequency at 5 kHz is 0.07256 m .

Explanation:

let v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

let T be the temperature.

then the speed of sound V, at 33°C is given by:

V = v + 0.6×T

   = 343 + 0.6×33

   = 362.8 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound at 33°C is 362.8 m/s.

the wavelength at a frequency of f = 5kHz = 5000 Hz is given by:

λ = V/f

  = (362.8)/(5000)

  = 0.07256 m

Therefore, the wavelength at a frequency at 5 kHz is 0.07256 m .
