Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Hope this helps

Seafloor spreading occurs because molten material is rising from beneath the Earth's crust and rising to the surface. Hope this helps : D

A boat is traveling upstream in the positive direction of the x axis at 10 km/h with respect to the water of a river. The water

sasho [114]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat with respect to the ground is 3 km/h

Explanation:

The speed of an object is different depending on the reference system you use. This is called relative speed.

A boat travels upstream, this means that it moves in the opposite direction to the river current.

A boat travels upstream, this means that it moves in the opposite direction to the river current. Then, if the boat moves in the positive direction of the x axis at 10 km / h with respect to the water of a river, the water flows in the negative direction of the x axis at 7 km / h with respect to the ground.

This causes the speed of the boat relative to the ground to be calculated as follows:

VbG = Vbw - VwG

where VbG is the speed of the boat relative to the ground, Vbw is the speed of the boat relative to the water of the river and VwG is the speed of the water relative to the ground.

So: VbG=10 km/h – 7 km/h

VbG= 3 km/h

The direction of this velocity is in the positive x-direction.

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.

A)

It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

$S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s$

Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

$\Delta v= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2} \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}$

B)

Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

$v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}$

The angle of impact is given by:

$cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}} \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20} \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}$

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie

Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance= Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles
