How far do tectonic plates move in a year

Physics
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

About 4-10cm/yr

Explanation:

Plates have different motion due to the tectonic settings and the properties of the plates.

Tectonic plates typically move very slowly over the weak asthenosphere in the mantle. This accounts for the wide range of about 4-10cm/yr. Some plates moves slower than this. It is difficult to perceive plate movement using our observational senses.

Scientists use GPS units and satellites to monitor the rate of movement of plates in a year to as to forecast a whole lot of environmental event that might  result from that.

pantera1 [17]
Newton's second law states that Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the object's acceleration. You have the values for Fnet and a, so you simply use this equation to solve for m, mass.

The Position Of A Particle Moving In The Xy Plane Is Given By R= [2.0*cos(3.0t)i+ 2.0*sin(3.0t)j] Where R Is In Meters And T Is
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can prove that this is a circular motion if we demonstrate that the norm of the vector is independent of time. Hence we have

R(t)=2.0cos(3t)\hat{i}+2sin(3t)\hat j\\\\|R(t)|=\sqrt{4cos^2(3t)+4sin^2(3t)}\\\\|R(t)|=\sqrt{4(cos^2(3t)+sin^2(3t))}\\\\

but cos^2(3t)+sin^2(3t)=1. Thus we obtain

|R(t)|=\sqrt{4}=2

The norm is independent of t, thus, the particle describes a circular motion

Hope this helps!!
