<span>Given:
3,500 kilometers
Find:</span>
Years for two continents to collide = ?
<span>Solution:
We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another
are 1 centimeter per year.
So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>
</span>
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
1 km = 100,000 cm
3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm
Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means
350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.
Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents
that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.
<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at
convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg
Velocity, v = 11 m/s
Applied force, F = 10⁶ N
Time period, t = 20 seconds
(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.
(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.
(c) For new velocity,
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs
Explaination:
Applying,
E = F/q....................... Equation 1
Where E = Electric Field, F = Force, q = charge.
From the question,
Given: F = 5.4×10⁻¹ N, q = -1.4×10⁻⁷ coulombs
Substitute these values into equation 1
E = 5.4×10⁻¹/ -1.4×10⁻⁷
E = -3.86×10⁶ Newtons/coulombs
Hence the magnitude of the electric field created by the
negative test charge is 3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs
Answer:
13.33m/s
Explanation:
Given data
m1= 2000kg
u1= 20m/s
m2= 1500kg
u2= 0m/s
v1= 10m/s
Required
The speed of the sticks
We know that from the expression for the conservation of momentum
m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2
2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2
40000=20000+1500v2
collect like terms
40000-20000= 1500v2
20000= 1500v2
v2= 20000/1500
v2= 13.33 m/s
Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Understand Newton’s first law of motion. Experience suggests that an object at rest will remain at rest if left alone, and that an object in motion tends to slow down and stop unless some effort is made to keep it moving. An object will go on forever if there were no forces to act upon it. In space, a rocket will go forever at the speed it projects.
