During the process of mountain building, earthquakes sometimes occur along continental-continental convergent boundaries. Which

statement best describes the motion of the plates along these boundaries that causes the earthquakes?
The plates push apart from each other with no subduction.
Subduction occurs with the less-dense plate sinking below the other plate.
Subduction occurs with the more-dense plate sinking below the other plate.
The plates smash together with no subduction.

Answer:

They will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

By ignoring the opposing forces i.e. air resistant, both the heavy and light balls will fall with same acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8 m/s²) and g is independent of mass of the objects. Thus both will hit the ground at the same time.

Answer:

The amplitude  is  A =  90.2 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The frequency of when sound is approaching observer is   f = 392 Hz

     The frequency as the move away from observer  is  f_ a =  330 \ Hz

    The time between the pitch are t =  10 \ s

Here you are the observer and your friends are the source of the sound

The period is mathematically evaluated as

       T =  2 t

as it is the time to complete one oscillation which from on highest pitch to the next highest pitch

Now T can also be mathematically represented as

          T = \frac{2 \pi}{w}

Where  w is the angular velocity

=>   \frac{2 \pi}{w}  =  2 * 10

=>   w =  0.314 \ rad/sec

Now using Doppler Effect,

   The source of the sound is approaching the observer

The

          f = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )

         392  = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )

Where A is the amplitude

    So when the source is moving away from the observer

         f_a =  f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )  

        330  =  f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )  

Here  f_o is the fundamental frequency

Dividing the both equation  we have

           \frac{392}{330}  =  \frac{f_o(\frac{v}{v-wA} )}{f_o(\frac{v}{v+wA}}

           1.1878  = \frac{v+wA}{v-wA}

         1.1878 v -  1.1878 wA = v+wA

        1.1878 v = 2.1878 wA

=>     A =  \frac{(0.1878 * (330))}{(2.1878)* (0.314)}

         A =  90.2 \ m
