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
With a 30 mph head wind it takes the plane 18.52 hours to fly 5000 miles. ANSWER 2: With a 30 mph tail wind it takes the plane 15.15 hours to fly 5000 miles.
Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.
In terms of the scientific method, the immediate purpose of doing an experiment is gathering data. You cannot draw conclusions or form a proper hypothesis without some sort of basis and data.
