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.

High specific heat of the water. Option (c)

What is Specific heat?

The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius is referred to as the substance's specific heat. Typically, calories or joules are used per gram and degree Celsius when referring to the units of specific heat.

The moderate temperature of islands has much to do with the water's high specific heat. The typical off-water is more significant than this clear land or soil. Due to this fact, water absorbs and releases eat more slowly. In comparison to the land.

Hence, the water has high specific heat.

A yo-yo of mass M has an axle of radius b and a spool of radius R. Its moment of inertia can be taken to be MR2/2 and the thickn

kow [346]

Answer:

The tension in the cord is $T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Explanation:

Given:

M = mass

b = radius

R = spool of radius

The equation is:

$bT=(\frac{MR^{2} }{2} )(\frac{a}{b} )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}a }{2b^{2} }$ (eq. 1)

The sum of forces in y:

∑Fy = Mg - T = Ma

$Mg=(M+\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } )a\\a=\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Replacing in eq. 1

$T=\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } (\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2} +R^{2} } )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

82.1 km

Explanation:

We need to resolve each displacement along two perpendicular directions: the east-west direction (let's label it with x) and the north-south direction (y). Resolving each vector:

$A_x = (72) sin 30^{\circ} =36.0 km\\A_y = (72) cos 30^{\circ} = 62.4 km$
