Answer:

B. at different speeds.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has greater mechanical strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection; that is, the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid mantle. Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from spreading ridges due to variations in topography (the ridge is a topographic high) and density changes in the crust (density increases as newly formed crust cools and moves away from the ridge. These average rates of plate separations can range widely. The Arctic Ridge has the slowest rate (less than 2.5 cm/yr), and the East Pacific Rise near Easter Island, in the South Pacific about 3,400 km west of Chile, has the fastest rate (more than 15 cm/yr).

What is the acceleration of car if it goes from 60 m/s to a stop in 6 seconds?
butalik [34]
Answer: acceleration = -10m/s^2

Explanation:
Use Fab 5 equation to solve for acceleration. (Use equation without d/distance because it is irrelevant for this particular question)

vi = 60m/s
vf = 0m/s because car comes to a stop
t = 6s
a = ?
d = irrelevant

Use a = vf-vi/t

Step by step solution:

a = vf - vi / t
a = 0 - 60 / 6
a = -60 / 6
a = -10m/s^2

Hope this helps! :)

When your vehicle is properly parked in a straight-in parking space,
marin [14]

The correct answer to this question would be:

<span><span>A. </span>No part of your vehicle will extend out into the traffic lane.</span>  

This kind of maneuver only shows your skill to handle the vehicle in tight spaces, ability to judge distance, and showing control of the vehicle as you turn into a straight-in parking space.

Which has a greater momentum: a ship weighing kg that is tied to a dock or a raindrop weighing kg that is falling from a cloud?
Illusion [34]

Answer: A raindrop

Explanation:

It would be a raindrop depending on if the ship is moving or not. If the ship is not moving, then the raindrop would have more momentum. But, if the ship were moving, then it would have more momentum. Because momentum equals mass times velocity.
