The chain of the Hawaiian Islands can be used to calculate the rate of movement of the Pacific Plate over the last few million y

ears. The island of Hawaii currently sits on the hot spot, and is therefore 0 million years old. The island of Kauai used to sit on the hot spot; it is approximately 5.1 million years old and is now approximately 473 km away from the hot spot, to the northwest. Given these parameters, what is the average rate of motion of the Pacific Plate in centimeters per year?

Answer:

9.28 × 10⁻⁴ cm/year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d(t₀) represent the initial position of Kauai island = 0 km from the hot spot. at time t = 0 million years. Let d(t₁) represent its final position at time t₁ = 5.1 million years later in the North - west direction. d(t₁)=473 km = 4.73 × 10³ cm. The average speed v = total distance/ total time =[d(t₁) - d(t₀)]/t₁₋t₀ = (4.73 × 10³ - 0)/(5.1 × 10⁶ - 0) =  4.73/5.1 × 10³⁻⁶ = 9.275 × 10⁻⁴ cm/year ≅ 9.28 × 10⁻⁴ cm/year

a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

The fixed charges for the pick up = $3

Charges per mile = $1.50

Let s denote the total miles driven and t be the total cost for the trip

This can be represented by the equation

t = 3 + 1.5s

Step 2:

Distance traveled by Jonathan in his trip = 10 miles

So cost for riding 10 miles is

t = 3 + 1.5(10) = 3 + 15 = $18

The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

Step 3 :

If the distance traveled is m miles, then substituting s = m in the above equation we get the cost as 1.5 m + 3

Step 4 :

Answer :

a) The cost for 10 mile taxi ride is $18

b) The cost for m mile taxi ride is 1.5 m + 3
