F_P + F_Q = M g
F_P = M g - F_Q
Torque, or moment of force:
∑ M_P = 0
∑ M_P = M g L - F_Q · 3 L
0 = M g L - 3 F_Q L / : L
0 = M g - 3 F_Q
3 F_Q = M g
F_Q = M g /3
Finally:
F_P = M g - M g/3
F_P = 4 M g / 3
<span>Given:
3,500 kilometers
Find:</span>
Years for two continents to collide = ?
<span>Solution:
We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another
are 1 centimeter per year.
So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>
</span>
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
1 km = 100,000 cm
3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm
Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means
350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.
Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents
that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.
<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at
convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.
Answer:
Explanation:
We know that
Acceleration due to gravity g is given by the formula
G= gravitational constant
M= mass of the Earth
r= radius of the earth
Let acc. due to gravity after radius is 20% greater be g_2
then
=> g1/g2 = (r_2/r_1)^2 => g2 = 9.81/1.2^2 = 6.8125
Heliocentric model. It is the model where the sun is it the middle. and the planets are orbiting the sun like this (in order from shorter to longer). Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,and Neptune.
