Due to continental drift, the North American and European continents are drifting apart at an average speed of about 3 cm per ye

ar. At this speed, how long (in years) will it take for them to drift apart by another 1500 m (a little less than a mile)

Answer:

Explanation:

1500 m (100cm/m) / 3 cm/yr = 50 000 yrs.

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

sineoko [7]

The temperature of the water getting colder would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop due to less heat being transferred from the water to the liquid, so the liquid molecules are closer than when they have high energy.

an object of mass 6000 kg rests on the flatbed of a truck. it is held in place by metal brackets that can exert a maximum horizo

Otrada [13]

Answer:

minimum stopping distance will be d = 75 m

Explanation:

Maximum force exerted by the bracket is given as

F = 9000 N

now we know that mass of the object is

m = 6000 kg

so the maximum acceleration that truck can have is given as

$F = ma$

$9000 = 6000 a$

$a = 1.5 m/s^2$

now for finding minimum stopping distance of the truck

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d$

$0^2 - 15^2 = 2(-1.5) d$

$d = 75 m$

A 50 kg pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.15 kg. If the ball is thrown with a positive velocity of 35 m/s and there is

Andreas93 [3]

The velocity of the pitcher is <u>0.105 m/s</u> in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball.

When no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum of the system.

The pitcher and the ball are initially at rest, therefore, the total initial momentum of the system is zero.

Since no external forces act on the system comprising of pitcher and the ball, the total final momentum of the system is also equal to zero.

If the mass of the pitcher is mp and its speed is vp, the mass of the ball is mb and the ball's speed is vb, then the final momentum of the system of pitcher and the ball is given by,

$p=m_pv_p+m_bv_b=0$

Therefore,

$v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p$

Substituet 0.15 kg for mb, 50 kg for mp and 35 m/s for vb.

$v_p=-\frac{m_b}{m_p} v_p=-\frac{0.15 kg}{50 kg} (35m/s)=-0.105 m/s$

The pitcher has a velocity <u> 0.105 m/s</u> opposite to the direction of the velocity of the ball.
