Why is the speed of the earths plate measured in centimeter per year instead of in meter per second?

Just to get a more convenient number.

1 centimeter per year is the same as 0.000000000317 meter per second.

Measured in centimeters per year, you get a number that's much easier
to write down, remember, and tell other people about.

Exactly the same reason that we describe the speed of a snail in
feet per minute, not miles per hour.

Identify two structural characteristics specific to muscle tissue.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Muscle cells are excitable; they respond to a stimulus.meaning they can shorten and generate a pulling force. When attached between two movable objects, such as two bones, contraction of the muscles cause the bones to move.It contains protein fibers which contract to make the cell shorter.

Estimate the monthly cost of using a 700 W refrigerator that runs for 10 hours a day if the cost per kilowatt hours is cents $.2

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$4.2

Explanation:

Given data

Power= 700W

time= 10 hours

Cost per kilowatt hours is cents $0.20

Let us find the number of hours in a month

=24*30

=720 hours

Energ= power*time

Energy= 700/1000*30

Energy= 7*3

Enery= 21 kwh

1 kwh= 0.2

21kwh= x

cross multiply

x=21*0.2

x= $4.2

How much work is required to move

Nikitich [7]

The work is path independent since we have a conservative force.

Thus $W=d\cdot\frac{q\cdot U}{d^2}=\frac{3.0\cdot9.0}{0.010}=\boxed{2700 J}$

I will mark as the brainliest answer<br><br>plz 8,9,10

blagie [28]

Answer:

8. acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 1 unit .

9. acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = -1 unit.

10. acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 0 units.

Explanation:

8. i) acceleration = velocity / time

ii) In this figure velocity = time

iii) therefore acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 1 unit .

9. i) acceleration = velocity / time

ii) In this figure 4 = m + 5, therefore m = -1

therefore velocity = (-0.5 $\times$ time) + 5

iii) therefore acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = -1 units.

10.) velocity is constant at 2

therefore acceleration = $\dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}$ = 0 units
