Answer:

7 mm per year

Explanation:

It is given that :

The Pacific plate is moving towards north at = 29 mm per year

The Pacific plate is moving towards west at = 20 mm per year

We have to calculate the total relative motion towards the northwest.

So we have to find the resultant of the two motions.

Since the two movements are perpendicular, therefore the angle between the two motions is 90 degree.

Therefore, finding their resultant,

R^2=(29)^2+(20)^2

R^2=(49)^2

R = 7

Therefore, total relative motion towards the northwest is 7 mm per year.

Anyone who scuba dives is advised not to fly within the next 24 h because the air mixture for diving can introduce nitrogen into
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let pressure at surface of earth be P Pa.  

pressure at height of 8.1 km in air can be calculated as follows .

pressure due to column of air of 8.1 km height

= h d g , h is height , d is density of air and g is acceleration due to gravity

= 8.1 x 1000 x .87 x 9.8 = 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa .

pressure at the height of 8.1 km

= P - 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

Pressure due to  column  of 16 m in the sea

= h d g

16 x 1000 x 9.8

= 15.68 x 10⁴ Pa .

Pressure at depth of 16m

= P + 15.68 x 10⁴

pressure difference between points at height of 8.1 km and pressure at point 16 m deep

=  P + 15.68 x 10⁴ -  P +  6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

= 22.58 x 10⁴ Pa .

A boy standing on the bridge kicks a stone into the water below. He kicks the stone with a horizontal velocity of 8.06 m/s. It l
Ronch [10]

Time taken to reach water :

t = \dfrac{D}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{6.78}{8.06}\ s\\\\t=0.84\ s

Now, initial vertical speed , u = 0 m/s.

By equation of motion :

h = ut +\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Here, a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So,

h = 0(t) +\dfrac{9.8\times 0.84^2}{2}\\\\h=3.46\ m

Therefore, the height of the bridge is 3.46 m.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What charge appears on each plate of a 10.0 μF parallel plate capacitor, when it is charged to 110 V?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

charge, q = ± 1.1 mC

Given:

Capacitance, C = 10.0\micro F = 10.0\times 10^{- 6} F

Voltage, V = 110 V

Solution:

The charge on the capacitor plates can be calculated by using the definition of capacitance as :

q ∝ V

where

q = charge

V = potential difference or Voltage

Therefore,

q = CV

Now, charge, q :

q = 10.0\times 10^{- 6}\times 110 = 1100\micro C = 1.1 mC

Therefore, the charge on the positive plate is:

q = + 1.1 mC

the charge on the negative plate is:

q = - 1.1 mC
