Why would the discovery of a fossil imply that earth is much older than originally though ?

Which of the following is NOT a geological event caused by the movement of tectonic plates?

photoshop1234 [79]

The answer is A. Mountains form because tectonic plates overlap. Earthquakes form because of the moving of tectonic plates. The moving of tectonic plates causes holes in the crust so magma from the mantle escapes and erupts from volcanoes. I hope I helped!

Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block

Korvikt [17]

Newton's second law we can find that the correct answer is:

E) It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Newton's second law establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of a body. Since force and acceleration are vector quantities, their components must be added on each axis

For this problem we have two bodies, let's write Newton's second law for the body B, we assume that the body B descends

W_b - T = m_b a

W_b = m_b g

m_b - T = m_b a

Where W_b is the weight of block B, T the tension of the string, mb the mass of block b and the acceleration

Now let's find the relation for block A

let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the ramp

T - Wₓ = mₐ a

sin θ = Wₓ / W

Wₓ = Wₐ sin θ

Wₐ = mₐ g

Where Wₓ is the component of the weight, Wₐ the weight of the body A and θ the angle of the plane

Let's write our system of equations

m_b g - T = m_b a

T - mₐ g sin θ = mₐ a

let's add the equations

g (m_b - mₐ sin θ) = (m_b + mₐ) a

a = $\frac{m_b - m_a \ sin \ \theta}{m_b+m_a} \ g$

Let's analyze this expression

The numerator is positive the body B descends, this occurs when

m_b - mₐ sin θ > 0

The numerator is negative, body B rises

m_b - mₐ sin θ <0

We can observe that the acceleration is positive or negative depending on the relation of the masses and the angle of the plane.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we find that the correct answer is

E ) It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

A 500 kg motorcycle accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s .how much force was applied to the motorcycle?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

by using formula F=ma which is m stand for mass a stand for acceleration. so 500kg × 2 ms^-2

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.40 g/cm and a tension of 17.5 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Part a)

$y_m = 0.157 mm$

part b)

$k = 101.8 rad/m$

Part c)

$\omega = 579.3 rad/s$

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of $\omega$ must be positive

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of wave in string is given by

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}$

so we have

$T = 17.5 N$

$m/L = 5.4 g/cm = 0.54 kg/m$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{17.5}{0.54}}$

$v = 5.69 m/s$

now we have

Part a)

$y_m$ = amplitude of wave

$y_m = 0.157 mm$

part b)

$k = \frac{\omega}{v}$

here we know that

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(92.2) = 579.3 rad/s$

so we have

$k = \frac{579.3}{5.69}$

$k = 101.8 rad/m$

Part c)

$\omega = 579.3 rad/s$

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of $\omega$ must be positive

A 62 kg bungee jumper jumps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 12 m. She falls a total of 3

Andrew [12]

Answer:

k = 104.46 N/m

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

so we will have

initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy

as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m

while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m

so the extension in the string is given as

$x = L - L_o$

$x = 31 - 12 = 19 m$

so we have

$mgH = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$62(9.81)(31) = \frac{1}{2}k (19^2)$

$k = 104.46 N/m$
