To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to angular kinematic movement, related to linear kinematic movement. Linear velocity can be described in terms of angular velocity as shown below,
Here,
v = Lineal velocity
= Angular velocity
r = Radius
Our values are
Replacing to find the angular velocity we have,
Convert the units to RPM we have that
Therefore the angular speed of the wheels when the scooter is moving forward at 6.00 m/s is 955.41rpm
The correct answer is:
c. convection.
The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.
Explanation:
Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.
