Answer: The motions shifts.
1) Plates movement happens very slowly.
2) The earth's lithosphere is divided into pieces
3) they are caused by convection currents in the asthenosphere (upper mantle)
Answer: because they have equal numbers of protons
Explanation: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion
<span>The diver is heading downwards at 12 m/s
Ignoring air resistance, the formula for the distance under constant acceleration is
d = VT - 0.5AT^2
where
V = initial velocity
T = time
A = acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth)
In this problem, the initial velocity is 2.5 m/s and the target distance will be -7.0 m (3.0 m - 10.0 m = -7.0 m)
So let's substitute the known values and solve for T
d = VT - 0.5AT^2
-7 = 2.5T - 0.5*9.8T^2
-7 = 2.5T - 4.9T^2
0 = 2.5T - 4.9T^2 + 7
We now have a quadratic equation with A=-4.9, B=2.5, C=7. Using the quadratic formula, find the roots, which are -0.96705 and 1.477251164.
Now the diver's velocity will be the initial velocity minus the acceleration due to gravity over the time. So
V = 2.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.477251164 s
V = 2.5 m/s - 14.47706141 m/s
V = -11.97706141 m/s
So the diver is going down at a velocity of 11.98 m/s
Now the negative root of -0.967047083 is how much earlier the diver would have had to jump at the location of the diving board. And for grins, let's compute how fast he would have had to jump to end up at the same point.
V = 2.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (-0.967047083 s)
V = 2.5 m/s - (-9.477061409 m/s)
V = 2.5 m/s + 9.477061409 m/s
V = 11.97706141 m/s
And you get the exact same velocity, except it's the opposite sign.
In any case, the result needs to be rounded to 2 significant figures which is -12 m/s</span>
