Answer: The reason for the differences in density is the composition of rock in the plates. When two plates come in contact with each other through plate tectonics, scientists can use the density of the plates to predict what will happen. Whichever plate is more dense will sink, and the less dense plate will float over it.

Answer:
V1 =8.1 m/s
Explanation:
height at highest point (h2) = 4.1 m
height at lowest point (h1) = 0.8 m
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}
from conservation of energy, the total energy at the lowest point will be the same as the total energy at the highest point. therefore
mgh1 +
= mgh2 + 
where
- speed at highest point = V2
- speed at lowest point = V1
- mass of the girl and swing = m
- at the highest point, the speed is minimum (V1 = 0)
- at the lowest point the speed is maximum (V2 is the maximum speed)
- therefore the equation becomes mgh1 +
= mgh2
m(gh1 +
) = m(gh2)
gh1 +
= gh2
V1 = 
now we can substitute all required values into the equation above.
V1 = 
V1 = 
V1 =8.1 m/s
The change needed is from 8 to 28, a change of 20 m/s. At a rate of 2m/s/s it will take 10 seconds for it to happen (2x10=20). I hope this helps.
