Continental shelf is the name of the area between the shoreline and the continental slope.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The continental shelf refers the continent' edge which presents under the ocean. It expands from the continent' edge to a drop points referred as shelf break. As this break, the underwater edge of the continental shelf initiates to plummet deep into the seabed.

According to convention, the continental shelf of the coastal state includes the sinking area of the coastal state, the seabed and undersea region' subsoil extending beyond its territorial sea to its outer edge point of the continent or 200 km of nautical miles without extending the outer periphery of continental margin.

A car traveling at 37m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 15 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
LuckyWell [14K]

<u>Answer</u>

The acceleration is

a=-2.5ms^{-2} to the nearest tenth

<u>Explanation</u>

Since the car was travelling at 37ms^{-1} before it starts to decelerate, the initial velocity is

u=37ms^{-1}.

The final velocity is v=0ms^{-1}, because the car came to a stop.

The time taken is t=15s.

Using the Newton's equation of linear motion,

v=u +at, we find the acceleration by substituting the known values.


This implies that,

0=37 +a(15)

This gives us,

0-37=15a


\Rightarrow -37=15a


We divide both sides by 15 to get,

a=-\frac{37}{15}ms^{-2}

or

a=-2.46667ms^{-2}
