Answer:  An effect of continental drift is causing tectonic plates resting upon the convecting mantle to move which results in natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and more.

Answer:

Modern climates are a result of past movements of tectonic plates. A continents climates is also affected by the continents location in relation to oceans and other continents. Mountains ranges affect air flow and wind patterns around the globe.

loris [4]

Answer:

The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°

Explanation:

From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):

\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73 (M₁ = 3)

If Po₁ = Po₂

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825

Table A-1:

\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63

Table A-5:

v₁ = 49.76°

μ₁ = 19.47°

v₂ = 60.55°

μ₂ = 16°

θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°

The angle for the forward Mach line is:

μ₁ = 19.47°

The angle for the rearward Mach line is:

θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°

Examples of applied force
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Push - The most common form of force is a push through physical contact (like a lawnmower or shopping cart)

Pull - You can apply a force by directly pulling on an object (like pulling a wagon)

2. An athlete of average size is hanging from the end of a 20 m long rope, which has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a hook in
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.319 s

Explanation:

With the sudden movement of the athlete a pulse is formed that takes time to move along the rope, the speed of the rope is given by

             v = √T/λ

Linear density is

           λ = m / L

           λ = 4/20

           λ = 0.2 kg / m

The tension in the rope is equal to the athlete's weight, suppose it has a mass of m = 80 kg

           T = W = mg

           T = 80 9.8

           T = 784 N

The pulse rate is

          v = √(784 / 0.2)

          v = 62.6 m / s

The time it takes to reach the hook can be searched with kinematics

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

          t = 20 / 62.6

          t = 0.319 s

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.
ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball
