Answer: divergent plate

Explanation: the East African Rift Valley (EAR) is a developing divergent plate boundary in East Africa. Here the eastern portion of Africa, the Somalian plate, is pulling away from the rest of the continent, which comprises the Nubian plate.

Answer:

Lake Victoria sits between these two branches. It is thought that these rifts are generally following old sutures between ancient continental masses that collided billions of years ago to form the African craton and that the split around the Lake Victoria region occurred due to the presence of a small core of ancient metamorphic rock, the Tanzania craton, that was too hard for the rift to tear through. Because the rift could not go straight through this area, it instead diverged around it leading to the two branches that can be seen today.

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

i). Inverted  

ii). Magnification of the image = -0.5

iii). Real

Explanation:

As shown in the ray diagram attached,

An object AB has been placed in front of converging lens (convex lens) at u = 30 cm.

F (Focus) of the lens is at 10 cm. So F = 10 cm

By analyzing the ray diagram we can measure the distance of the image on the other side of the lens (By counting the small blocks of the graph)

V = 15 cm

Characteristics of the image is:

i) Inverted

ii) Magnification of the image = -\frac{v}{u}=-\frac{15}{30}

= -0.5

ii) Real

A projectile of mass 1.800 kg approaches a stationary target body at 4.800 m/s. The projectile is deflected through an angle of
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg

speed of the target = 4.8 m/s

angle of deflection = 60°

Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s

magnitude of momentum after collision = ?

initial momentum of the body = m x v

                                                  = 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s

final momentum after collision

momentum along x-direction

P_x = m v cos θ

P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x  cos 60°

P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s

momentum along y-direction

P_y = m v sin θ

P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x  sin 60°

P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s

net momentum of the body

P = \sqrt{P_x^2 + P_y^2}

P = \sqrt{4.52^2 + 2.61^2}

 P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

George and Harriot walk with an average velocity of .95 m/s eastward. If it takes them 30
artcher [175]

Answer:

1.71 km

Explanation:

Convert 30 minutes to seconds:

30 min × (60 s / min) = 1800 s

Find the displacement:

0.95 m/s × 1800 s = 1710 m

Convert to kilometers:

1710 m × (1 km / 1000 m) = 1.71 km
