Plate tectonicss a property of the behavior of systems, plates, that are far from fundamental, like particles. So any statement about them is a theory.

345nm=____mm<br>I need to see how to work the problem out​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

3.45×10⁻⁴mm (or 0.000345mm)

Explanation:

Use a method called dimensional analysis here. It involves a chain of conversions, so we'll need some conversions to work with.

  • 1nm = 1×10⁻⁹m
  • 1mm = 1×10⁻³m
  • 345nm; which is given

If you knew the conversion from nanometers to millimeters then you could just do it in one step. But I don't, so I won't. Anyways, you put the conversions into fraction form like so:

  • 1nm/1×10⁻⁹m
  • 1mm/1×10⁻³m

And then orient them in a way where multiplying the two (or more in other instances) gives you the units you want. In this cas it's millimeters so you'll have:

(345nm)•(1×10⁻⁹m/1nm)•(1mm/1×10⁻³m)

Notice how all the units reduce except for mm. From here you just multiply across and should get 345×10⁻⁶mm which simplifies to 3.45×10⁻⁴mm.

A 1.150 kg air-track glider is attached to each end of the track by two coil springs. It takes a horizontal force of 0.900 N to
shutvik [7]

k = 5.29

a = 0.78m/s²

KE = 0.0765J

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass of air tracker, m = 1.15kg

Force, F = 0.9N

distance, x = 0.17m

(a) Effective spring constant, k = ?

Force = kx

0.9 = k X0.17

k = 5.29

(b) Maximum acceleration, m = ?

We know,

Force = ma

0.9N = 1.15 X a

a = 0.78 m/s²

c) kinetic energy, KE of the glider at x = 0.00 m.

The work done as the glider was moved = Average force * distance

This work is converted into kinetic energy when the block is released. The maximum kinetic energy occurs when the glider has moved 0.17m back to position x = 0  

As the glider is moved 0.17m, the average force = ½ * (0 + 0.9)

Work = Kinetic energy

KE = 0.450 * 0.17

KE = 0.0765J

Complete the statement about memory improvement.
Liula [17]

Elaborate rehearsal involves organizing and breaking down information into easier groups to expand capacity. Rehearsal is the verbal repetition of information. These techniques are especially important for the improvement of long-term memory.

Six strategies of elaborate rehearsal are:

1. Rephrase information into your own words.

2. Create your own study questions and answer them.

3. Use images to help you.

4. Group terms that are of the same topic together.

5. Use a mnemonic strategy.

6. Space our your learning and don't try to cram in on sitting.
