How fast are the earths tectonic plates moving on average

Physics
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
5 0

About 2 to 5 centimeters per year (1 to 2 inches per year), about the same speed that your fingernails grow. We know, then, that the outermost part of Earth consists of a series of large slabs (tectonic plates; lithospheric plates) that move slowly over the globe, powered by flow in the interior mantle

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N
