Terrane accretion generally occurs along a ________ boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate.

1 answer:

8 0

Answer;
Terrane accretion generally occurs along a convergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate.

Explanation;
Terrane accretion occur at convergent plate boundaries, however, it may be possible for a terrane to be brought from an exotic location along a transform plate boundary.
Additionally, it is also likely for a new divergent plate boundary to develop that rifts a continent apart.

4. A driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch,

stira [4]

Answer:

The driver's average velocity is 82.35 km/h.

Explanation:

Given:

The motion of the driver can be divided into 3 parts:

i. Displacement of the driver in 1.5 hours = 135 km

ii. Rest for 45 minutes.

iii. Displacement in next 2 hours = 215 km

The direction of motion remains same (east).

Now, total displacement of the driver is, $D_{Total}=135+215=350$ km.

Rest time is 45 minutes. Converting it to hours, we need to use the conversion factor $1\textrm{ min} = \frac{1}{60}$ hour.

So, 45 minutes in hours is equal to $\frac{45}{60}=0.75$ hours.

Now, total time taken for the complete journey is, $\Delta t=1.5+\frac{45}{60}+2=1.5+0.75+2=4.25\textrm{ h}$

Average velocity is given as:

$v_{avg}=\frac{\textrm{Total displacement}}{Total time}=\frac{350}{4.25}=82.35\textrm{ km/h}$

Therefore, the driver's average velocity is 82.35 km/h

Determine the mass of fuel required for the expected energy consumption in the United States for the next 10 years:

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(This will depend on the type of fuel, I will assume that the fuel is petrol)

First, let's find the expected energy consumption in the US for the next 10 years.

We know that in one year, a person consumes 3.5*10^11 joules.

There are 310,000,00 people on the US

Then the total consumption in one year is:

310,000,000*3.5*10^11 joules = 1.085*10^20 J

In 10 years the consumption is 10 times the consumption of a single year, then the expected energy consumption in the US for the next 10 years is:

10*1.085*10^20 J = 1.085*10^21 J

Now let's find the mass of fuel required.

We know that a liter of petrol has 31,536,000 joules of energy,

And a liter of petrol weights 0.75 kg

To find the number of liters of petrol that we need, we need to find the quotient between the expected energy consumption in the next 10 years and the energy of a single liter of petrol, this is:

N = (1.085*10^20 J)/(31,536,000 j) = 3.44*10^13

We will need 3.44*10^13 liters of petrol.

And the total mass of petrol will be:

M = 3.44*10^13*0.75 kg = 2.58*10^13 kg of fuel.
