Answer: Convergent or Divergent boundaries

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics

spayn [35]

Answer:

$v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

$x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}$

For the y-direction gives

$v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t$

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

$v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}$

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

Difference between reproducibility and replicability

victus00 [196]

Suppose you are doing an experiment where you determine the value of one parameter, say density of a liquid. You have two methods in doing this. By finding the mass and volume, and by using a densitometer. Reproducibility is when you get the same value of density for both methods. Replicability is when you have similar results in one method. So, replicability is a measure of precision, while reproducibility is a measure of accuracy.
