The Nazca plate will move under the south american plate. i know its late but it will help others!
The dens or the odontoid process of the axis or the second cervical spine forms a pivot point with the atlas or the first cervical vertebrae that is responsible for the nodding and the rotational movements of the head. This is reinforced by ligaments and the atlanto-occipital joint that allows the head to make a nodding or up and down movement on the vertebral column.
Answer:
Distance = 30m
Displacement = 6m W
Explanation:
Given the following:
Movement 1 = 18m W
Movement 2 = 12m E
Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.
Therefore, total distance traveled equals :
Movement 1 + movement 2
18m + 12m = 30m
B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.
Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:
18m W - 12m E = 6m E
Given parameters;
Time taken to complete a lap = 8.667s
Radius of flower = 13.9cm
convert to SI unit of m, 100cm = 1m
13.9cm gives
= 0.139m
Unknown = speed
To solve this problem, we need to first find the circumference of the flower.
Circumference of the circular flower = 2 π r
where r is the radius of the flower;
Circumference = 2 x 3.142 x 0.139 = 0.87m
Now to find the how fast the bug is travelling,
Speed = 
Since the bug covered 1 lap, the distance is 0.87m
Now input the parameters and solve for speed;
Speed =
= 0.1m/s
The bug is travelling at a speed of 0.1m/s
The equator is warmer than the poles because the equator is closer to the sun. In other words, the sun is overhead the equator, which is a result of the Earth's curvature.
