When geophysicists measure the geothermal gradient in areas on the ridges where there is no activity hydrothermally, the gradient is far below than what is predicted theoretically, but when measured near hydrothermal vents it is more than what is predicted. This is because most of the heat is being carried through convection by hydrothermal systems so that the average gradient when measured far from the circulation would be depressed or lower.
Answer:
a = (v2 - v1) / t
From A to B (8 - 4) m/s / 1 s = 4 m / s^2
From A to D ( 7 - 4) m/s / 5 s = .6 m / s^2
Note these equations hold for "uniform" values
They say nothing about the acceleration at intermediate points - the equation just says that his average speed increased from 4 m/s to 7 m/s during a 5 sec period
Answer:
%
%
Explanation:
From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer
Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is
Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed
Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:
%
%
Answer:
The speed of a turtle is 4m/s
Explanation:
speed = distance/time
distance = 100m
time = 25s
s = 100/25
= 4m/s
