Measure the distance from the drop point in Brazil to the drop point in Angola. Use that number in your calculation. Given that

this portion of Pangaea broke apart 200,000,000 years ago, calculate how fast South America and Africa are separating in cm/year? (Hint: Speed= Distance/Time)

To develop this point we will start by finding the approximate coordinates of the points that were connected at the time of the Pangaea between Brazil and Angola. These coordinates are presented below.

1 . Brazil - Latitude: 18 0 07’ 55.56” S Longitude: 39 0 35’ 14.50” W 2.

Angola - Latitude: 9 0 08’ 50.02” S Longitude: 13 0 02’ 32.11” E

Using a tool for calculating distances between these two points we will notice that its distance is 576,155,570.12 cm

Applying the equation given in the statement we will have to,

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow v = Velocity, x = Distance, t = Time

200,000,000 years have passed and the movement was previously found, so the speed of travel is,

v = \frac{576,155,570.12cm}{200.000.000 years}

v = 2.88 cm/year

Therefore the velocity is 2.88 cm per year.

OLga [1]

Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.

Explanation:

A student throws a small rock straight upwards. The rock rises to its highest point and then falls back down. How does the speed of the rock at 2m on the way down compare with its speed at 2m on the way up?

It decreases in speed on its way down and increases in speed on its way down.

it decreases in speed on its way up because the the vertical motion is against the earths gravitational pull on an object to the earth's center

.It increases in speed on his way down because its under the influence of gravity

from newton's equation of motion we can check by

using V^2=u^2+2as

we assume that it starts with a velocity of 10m/s. At 2m height above ground level, its velocity decreases at 3m above ground level

for its way down the velocity at 3m on its way down is more than its velocity at 2m on its way down.
