v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

Since it's a projectile being launched the only force acting upon it is gravity, since the object is in free fall once it's launched

so to calculate time you'd utilize the general formula of
xf = xi + vxi(t) + \frac{1}{2} (a) {t}^{2}
and then solve using time and make it into the y axis, so change the x's to y's, which will change a to g.
since Vyi is always usually 0, you can drop that out of this equation so the formula to find time would be
t =  \sqrt{ \frac{2(y)}{g} }
So you'll plug in and it'll be
t =  \sqrt{ \frac{2( - 49m)}{ - 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} } } }
to find the maximum height you'll have to do some trigonometry to solve it.
To make it easier draw a triangle
put the 60° mark as shown in the picture.
Then you'll need to find the hypotenuse or horizontal to find the vertical
So the hypotenuse would be the 113m/s
so then you'll use
\ \sin( 60) = ( \frac{o}{h})

plug in the numbers
113( \ \sin (60) ) = o
now that you have the vertical

use the formula
{vf}^{2}  =  {vi}^{2}  + 2gd
solve for d which will give you the hypotenuse
d = { (-vertical \frac{m}{s} )}^{2}  \div 2( - 9.81 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } )
The "vertical" is what you found in the previous step.
Vf^2 is equal to 0 so you can just drop that number out since it's 0
then once you have that then youre not done yet
since you're on a cliff of 49 m you'll have to add 49m to the previous answer that you found d to find the maximum height.

I hope this helps!

Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward
Alex777 [14]

Jenny is traveling southward.  In order to stop, she needs a northward acceleration.


A better way to say it:

Jenny is traveling southward in her bumper car, so the direction of her velocity is south.  In order to reduce her velocity to zero, a velocity of equal magnitude but directed north must be added to it.  Then the change in velocity is positive northward, and the change in velocity per unit time is acceleration.

What is the kinetic energy of an object moving 40m/s with a mass of 20kg?
Svet_ta [14]
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = 16,000 Joules
