<span>Given:
3,500 kilometers
Find:</span>
Years for two continents to collide = ?
<span>Solution:
We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another
are 1 centimeter per year.
So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>
</span>
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
1 km = 100,000 cm
3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm
Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means
350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.
Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents
that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.
<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at
convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.
Answer:
the color is green
- 602.93 nm ( orange color )
the observation is that there is a change of visible color
Explanation:
A) wavelength of visible light that is most strongly reflected from a point on a soap
refraction n = 1.33
wall thickness (t) = 290 nm
2nt = (2m +1 ) ∝/2 -----equation 1
note when m = 0
therefore ∝ = 4nt/ 1 = 4 * 1.33 * 290 = 1542.8nm we will discard this
when m = 1
equation 1 becomes
∝ = 4nt/3 =( 4 * 1.33 * 290) / 3 = 1542.8 / 3 = 514.27 ( wavelength )
the color is green
B) the wavelength when the wall thickness is 340 nm
∝ = 4nt / 2m +1
where m = 1
∝ = (4 * 1.33 * 340 ) / 3 = 1808.8 / 3 = 602.93 nm ( orange color )
the observation is that there is a change of visible color
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 2.50 m/s²
t = 4 s
Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (2.50 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s
v = 10 m/s
Answer:
(A) No
(B) Speed decreases
Explanation:
(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.
(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).
This is what happens to the hydrogen gas in the core of the Sun. It gets squeeze together so tightly that four hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium atom. This is called nuclear fusion. In the process some of the mass of the hydrogen atoms is converted into energy in the form of light.
