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.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 10 Hz = 10

distance between 4 nodes, L = 15.0 cm

The wavelength (λ) of the wave is calculated as follows;

Node to Node = λ/2

L = 2(Node to Node) = (4 Nodes) = 2 (λ/2) = λ

Thus, λ = L = 15.0 cm

The speed (v) of the wave is calculated as follows;

v = fλ

v =  10 Hz   x  15.0 cm

v = 150 cm/s

Therefore, the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

Calculate the moment of Inertia for a ring with a mass 0.715 kg, an inner radius of 10.7 cm and an outer radius of 12.7 cm.
lisov135 [29]
Using formula: 
I=(1/2)*M*(R^2+r^2) 

<span>I=0.5*0.715kg*[(12.7cm)^2+(10.7cm)^2] </span>

<span>I=98.6 kg*cm^2</span>
