Answer:

Limestone cave collapsing due to changes in sea level.

Explanation:

Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone or other carbonate rock, salt beds, or in other soluble rocks, such as gypsum, that can be dissolved naturally by circulating ground water. Sinkholes also occur in sandstone and quartzite terrains.

Answer:

Option B. Limestone cave collapsing due to changes in sea level.

Explanation:

Sink holes, as their name suggests, are formed by the collapse of limestone caves due to changes in sea levels. This occurs due to special properties of limestone.

Limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It easily breaks down when it comes in contact with an acidic environment. This causes the rocks to start flaking off. The limestone caves are formed into two features: stalagmites and stalactites. Stalagmites are pointed features that originate from the floor of the curve.

Stalactites are sharp pointed extrusions that hang down from the ceiling of the roof. Because of the continued melting, the limestone eventually gives in, collapsing and the ground above it collapsing as well. This results in a sinkhole.

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

<h3>What is the average speed of the train?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Distance traveled = 221miles
  • Elapsed time = 3 hours and 40 minutes

First we convert miles to meters and Hours minutes to seconds.

221 miles = ( 221 × 1609.344 )m = 355665.024 meters

3 hours and 40 minutes = ( 3×60×60)s + ( 40×60)s

= 10800s + 2400s

= 13200s

Now, determine the average speed.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Speed = 355665.024m / 13200s

Speed = 26.944m/s

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

An airplane flies 20km in a direction 60 degrees north of east, then 30 km straight east, then 10km straight north. How far and
Fed [463]

Answer:

48.4 km, 34.3° north of east

Explanation:

Let's say east is the +x direction and north is the +y direction.

Adding up the x components of the vectors:

x = 20 cos 60 + 30 + 0

x = 40 km

Adding up the y components of the vectors:

y = 20 sin 60 + 0 + 10

y = 27.3 km

The magnitude of the displacement is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 48.4 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 34.3° north of east

A rock is dropped from the edge of a cliff into a pool of water. Assume free-fall acceleration is 10 m/s per second, and air res
il63 [147K]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

From the equation of motion,

S = ut+1/2gt²................................. Equation 1

Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Because the rocked is being dropped from a height, acceleration due to gravity is positive (g), and initial velocity (u) is negative

Given: t = 2.0 s, g = 10 m/s², u = 0 m/s (dropped from height)

Substituting into equation 1

S = 0(2) + 1/2(10)(2)²

S = 5(4)

S = 20 m

Hence the height of the the cliff above the pool is 20 m
