Well, I guess you can come close, but you can't tell exactly.
It must be presumed that the seagull was flying through the air
when it "let fly" so to speak, so the jettisoned load of ballast
of which the bird unburdened itself had some initial horizontal
velocity.
That impact velocity of 98.5 m/s is actually the resultant of
the horizontal component ... unchanged since the package
was dispatched ... and the vertical component, which grew
all the way down in accordance with the behavior of gravity.
98.5 m/s = √ [ (horizontal component)² + (vertical component)² ].
The vertical component is easy; that's (9.8 m/s²) x (drop time).
Since we're looking for the altitude of launch, we can use the
formula for 'free-fall distance' as a function of acceleration and
time:
Height = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²) .
If the impact velocity were comprised solely of its vertical
component, then the solution to the problem would be a
piece-o-cake.
Time = (98.5 m/s) / (9.81 m/s²) = 10.04 seconds
whence
Height = (1/2) (9.81) (10.04)²
= (4.905 m/s²) x (100.8 sec²) = 494.43 meters.
As noted, this solution applies only if the gull were hovering with
no horizontal velocity, taking careful aim, and with malice in its
primitive brain, launching a remote attack on the rich American.
If the gull was flying at the time ... a reasonable assumption ... then
some part of the impact velocity was a horizontal component. That
implies that the vertical component is something less than 98.5 m/s,
and that the attack was launched from an altitude less than 494 m.
Answer:
A) The continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other. B) Divergent plate in Mid-Atlantic Ridge with material flowing into the ocean. C) A plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling "Hot Spot" and created a volcanic island chain over the time
Explanation:
A) The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones).
B) There are basically three different types of plate boundaries:
Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
The best known of the divergent boundaries is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This submerged mountain range, which extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth.
C) The linear arrangement of many seamounts indicates that they formed because the plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling, a so called mantle "Hot Spot". Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that may finally build above the water level, in which case they are called islands. If seamounts rise above sea level (due to buildup of material in a cone or upwelling mantle pushes up plate), they are subject to wave erosion and colonization by reefs, with both processes tending to create a flat top on the original volcanic cone.
Explaination: equal in force, opposite in direction
the statement is false
the wave has a speed of 12 m/s.
Explanation:
Speed is directly proportional to wavelength and frequency. The wave has a frequency of 4 Hz. One Hertz (Hz) is equal to one cycle per second. The image shows that the wave has a wavelength of 3 m. Using the given speed and frequency, the wavelength can be calculated as shown below.
speed= wave length x frequency
speed = 3m x 4Hz
speed = 12m m/6
The sound waves pass through the door and will then go further from the space near the door making the sound hear outside the door also.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Waves can twist around corners in view of an impact called diffraction. The sum that a wave will twist around a corner as a result of diffraction is about equivalent to its frequency. So it is a lot simpler to see the bowing of the sound waves, since it is around a million times greater than the bowing of the light waves.
As the waves pass through the door, they bend and travel into the space near the door. Because they spread out into the space beyond the door, a person near the doorway can hear sounds from inside the room.
