Answer:

Convergent.

Explanation:

Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.

If a car is traveling at a velocity of +10m/s suddenly turns around and continues at the same speed, what is its new velocity?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

-10m/s

Explanation:

only the magnitude of the velocity will change due to the change in direction of the car.

A small fish is dropped by a pelican that is rising steadily at 0.50 m/s.

natima [27]

Answer:

(a) 24.025 m/s. downward.

(b) 31 m

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion,

(a)

v = u + gt ................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, t = time.

Note: Let upward velocity be negative and downward be positive

Given: u = -0.5 m/s (upward), t = 2.5 s

Constant : g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

v = 0.5+9.81(2.5)

v = -0.5+24.525

v = 24.025 m/s. downward.

(b) using

s₁ = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 2

Where s₁ = distance at which the fish fall after being dropped by the pelican

Given: u = - 0.5 m/s, t = 2.5 s, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

s₁ = -0.5(2.5) + 1/2(9.81)(2.5)²

s₁ = -1.25+30.656

s₁ = 29.41 m

also,

s₂ = vt ................ Equation 3

Where s₂ = the distance by which the pelican rise during this time.

Given: v = 0.5 m/s, t= 2.5 s

s₂ = 0.5(2.5)

s₂ = 1.25 m.

Note: Distance between the pelican and fish = s₁ + s₂

Distance between the pelican and fish = 29.41+1.25

Distance between the pelican and fish = 30.66

Distance between the pelican and fish ≈ 31 m

Challenge! A marshmallow is dropped from a 5-meter high pedestrian bridge and 0.83 seconds later, it lands right on the head of

WINSTONCH [101]

a₀). You know ...
       -- the object is dropped from 5 meters
   above the pavement;
         -- it falls for 0.83 second.

a₁). Without being told, you assume ...
   -- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
   so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
   -- the event is happening on Earth,
where the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s² .

b). You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
   the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.

c). You can use whatever equations you like.
   I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
   ' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.

d). To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:

The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is

   (1/2 G) x (T²) .

On Earth, ' G ' is roughly 9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall

   (9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .

It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was

   (5.00 - 3.38) = 1.62 meters

above the pavement. That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.

Does water expand more as the temperature drops even more below 0 deg? I am worried about the coolant in my rad. as the temp.is

alex41 [277]

Water is, indeed, an exception. Normally when temperature drops, material shrinks. Water doesn't, water expands instead.
