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.

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}

v_{1}=0.833\ m/s

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

F_{1}=ma_{1}

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}

a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}

a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2

Similarly,

F_{2}=ma_{2}

For total force,

F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}

ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}

The speed of second tugboat is

v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}

v=3.05\ m/s

We need to calculate total acceleration

a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}

a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}

a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

0.305=a_{2}+0.083

a_{2}=0.305-0.083

a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}

\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7

F_{1}=3.7F_{2}

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

In several of the questions you've posted during the past day, we've already said that a wave with larger amplitude carries more energy.  That idea is easy to apply to this question.

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250ft/s. Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what time(s), in
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s

The projectile formula is given by :

h=-16t^2+v_ot

We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,

-16t^2+250t=500

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds

So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how an object moving at a constant speed can have a nonzero acceleration
SOVA2 [1]
Its very simple if a body is moving in circle the magnitude of its velocity remain constant  but its direction changes because velocity is directed towards tangent and at every point in a cirlce its direction will be different (along tangent) so velocity is not uniform .As acceleration is the rate  change of velocity  so it will be non zero because velocity is changing due to its direction.
