Answer:

C) Divergent

Explanation:

Magma which is present in the underlying mantle comes out at divergent plate boundaries. The reason of coming out magma is that heat in the mantle makes the crust less dense. After coming out, magma cools down and solidifies to form a new ocean floor. Hence, divergent plate boundary is most closely related with formation of new ocean floor.

Distance Between Two Cars A car leaves an intersection traveling west. Its position 4 sec later is 19 ft from the intersection.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The rate at which the distance between the two cars is changing is equal to 14.4 ft/sec.

Explanation:

We note that the distance traveled by each car after 4 seconds is

Car A = 19 ft in the west direction.

Car B = 26 ft in the north direction

The distance between the two cars is given by the length of the hypotenuse side of a right angled triangle with the north being the y coordinate and the west being the x coordinate.

Therefore, let the distance between the two cars be s

we have

s² = x² + y²

= (19 ft)² + (26 ft)² = 1037 ft²

s = $\sqrt{1037 ft^2}$ = 32.202 ft.

The rate of change of the distance from their location 4 seconds after they commenced their journeys is given by;

Since s² = x² + y² we have

$\frac{ds^{2} }{dt} = \frac{dx^{2} }{dt} + \frac{dy^{2} }{dt}$

→ $2s\frac{ds }{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy }{dt}$ which gives

$s\frac{ds }{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy }{dt}$

We note that the speeds of the cars were given as

Car B moving north = 12 ft/sec, which is the y direction and

Car A moving west = 8 ft/sec which is the x direction.

Therefore

$\frac{dy }{dt}$ = 12 ft/sec and

$\frac{dx}{dt}$ = 8 ft/sec

$s\frac{ds }{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy }{dt}$ becomes

$32.202 ft.\frac{ds }{dt} = 19 ft \times 8 \frac{ft}{sec} + 26ft\times 12\frac{ft}{sec}$ = 464 ft²/sec

$\frac{ds }{dt} = \frac{464\frac{ft^{2} }{sec} }{32.202 ft.}$ = 14.409 ft/sec ≈ 14.4 ft/sec to one place of decimal.

Answer:

T = 0.01 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of the beats of a hummingbird, f = 100 Hz

We need to find the period of the hummingbirds flaps. Let the time is t. We know that the relation between frequency and time period is given by :

T = 1/f

Put all the values,

T = 1/100 = 0.01 s

So, the time period of the humming bird is 0.01 s.

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work

Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.
