<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

<u>Answer:</u> runoff water is water from rain, snow, or other sources, that flows through the land, and is a major component of the water cycle.

The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation
E = 0.5 M V^2
where
E = Energy
M = Mass
V = Velocity
Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion
E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2
E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2
E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2
E = 1040.4 J
So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>
Vx=cos60(4)
x-component of velocity
If you think about it, it makes a right triangle when you combine all the different types of forces together such as v, vx and vy. Then, you can use trigonometry and soh cah toa in order to figure out vx.
