Answer: In a divergent plate boundary, seafloor spreading taking place. It leads to the formation of oceans as new materials are added here along the mid-oceanic ridge. There occur volcanism and shallow-focus earthquakes.

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates collide to form high mountain belts and also volcanic eruptions take place. There occur long chains of volcanic as well as island arcs, in association with deep-focus earthquakes.

In a transform plate boundary, two plates slide past each other, conserving the plates. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated here.

The earth has experienced various geological processes, such as weathering and erosion of rocks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mass extinction events, plate tectonic movements and many more. These continuous processes have configured the present shape of the earth's surface.

For example, the breaking up of the supercontinent Pangea divided into Laurasia and Gondwanaland and subsequently formed the present scenario. This separation of continents has taken place due to the convection current that generates in the mantle.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

18.03 s

Explanation:

We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.

$x=vt\\x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{a}{2}t^2$

The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:

$x=(55m/s)t\\x=\frac{6.1m/s^2}{2}t^2=(3.05m/s^2)t^2$

Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:

$(55m/s)t=(3.05m/s^2)t^2\\(3.05m/s^2)t^2-(55m/s)t=0\\t((3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s)=0\\t=0 \\(3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s=0\\t=\frac{55m/s}{3.05m/s^2}=18.03 s$

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 60 cm long and has a mass of 3.8 kg, with the center of

Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) τ = 26.58 Nm

(b) τ = 18.79 Nm

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

d₁ = perpendicular distance between ball and shoulder = 60 cm = 0.6 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.6 m)

τ₁ = 17.64 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of 60 cm = (0.4)(60 cm) = 24 cm = 0.24 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.24 m)

τ₂ = 8.94 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 17.64 Nm + 8.94 Nm

τ = 26.58 Nm

(b)

Now, the arm is at 45° below horizontal line.

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

42.42 cm = 0.4242 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.4242 m)

τ₁ = 12.47 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of (60 cm)(Cos 45°) = (0.4)(42.42 cm) = 16.96 cm = 0.1696 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.1696 m)

τ₂ = 6.32 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 12.47 Nm + 6.32 Nm

τ = 18.79 Nm

Tanzania [10]

The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
$v= \frac{d}{t}$ ⇒ $d=v*t$

It is given:
$v = \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s} = 3.2 m/s$
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
$d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m$
