Shifting of tectonic plates.
Faults- two plates come together
Mountains- convergent movement
Islands- underwater volcanoes deposit volcanic rock into the same place until it's tall enough to be above sea level

What does it mean if the slope is zero?
kiruha [24]
The object is not moving.

My explanation is that say if you sit a ball on the table and it is a smooth surface with no bumps or anything. The ball will sit still since it can’t roll unless you hit it.

Hope this helps!

In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to pu
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

3.90 degrees

Explanation:

Let g= 9.81 m/s2. The gravity of the 30kg grocery cart is

W = mg = 30*9.81 = 294.3 N

This gravity is split into 2 components on the ramp, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the ramp.

We can calculate the parallel one since it's the one that affects the force required to push up

F = WsinΘ

Since customer would not complain if the force is no more than 20N

F = 20

294.3sin\theta = 20

sin\theta = 20/294.3 = 0.068

\theta = sin^{-1}0.068 = 0.068 rad = 0.068*180/\pi \approx 3.90^0

So the ramp cannot be larger than 3.9 degrees

Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have: 

<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>

<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>

<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>

<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>

On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth that of earth. That is gmoon = gearth /6 = (9.8 m/s2 )/6 = 1.63 m/s2 .
