225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean. The supercontinent Pangea began to break up 200 Ma and India started a northward drift towards Asia. 80 Ma India was 6,400 km south of the Asian continent but moving towards it at a rate of between 9 and 16 cm per year. At this time Tethys Ocean floor would have been subducting northwards beneath Asia and the plate margin would have been a Convergent oceanic-continental one just like the Andes today.

Answer:

This immense mountain range began to form between 40 and 50 million years ago, when two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided. ... Artist's conception of the 6,000-km-plus northward journey of the "India" landmass (Indian Plate) before its collision with Asia (Eurasian Plate).

sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>373.2 km The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a)) where v = velocity mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM) r = radius satellite currently at a = semi-major axis Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to v = sqrt(mu/r) The value of mu for earth is 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So 86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity 2 pi r / 5520.767 Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality v = 2 pi r / 5520.767 v = sqrt(mu/r) mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r) Square both sides 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r Multiply both sides by r 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2 r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3 Take the cube root of both sides r = 6751375.945 m Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So 6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives 373.2 km</span>

umka21 [38]

Answer:T=1316.21 N

Explanation:

The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The

horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using

Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:

T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)

So

T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)

T=1316.21 N

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

d = 1700 meters

Explanation:

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound.  The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)

Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :

d=v\times t

d=340\ m/s\times 5\ s  

d = 1700 meters

So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following is not a way that astronomers can find how much dark matter there is in cluster of galaxies?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>b. Observe the radio waves coming from all dark matter; from the strength of the radio waves from each cluster, estimate the amount of dark matter needed to produce them.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The universe is thought to be made up of 85% dark matters. <em>Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect. This means that option b is wrong since radio wave is an electromagnetic wave</em>. Dark matter is a form of matter that makes up  about a quarter of the total mass–energy density of the universe. Dark matter was theorized due a variety of astrophysical observations and gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless there were more matter in the universe than can be seen.

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1
notka56 [123]

Complete Question

Part of the question is shown on the first uploaded image

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is  F_{net}=  3.22*10^{-5} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The third charge is  q_3 =  55 nC =  55 *10^{-9} C

    The position of the third charge is  x = -1.220 \ m

     The first charge is q_1 =  -16 nC  =  -16 *10^{-9} \ C

     The position of the first charge is x_1 =  -1.650m

      The second charge is  q_2 =  32 nC  =  32 *10^{-9} C

      The position of the second charge is  x_2 =   0  \ m  

The distance between the first and the third charge is

      d_{1-3} =  -1.650 -(-1.220)

     d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is  

     F_{1-3} =  \frac{k  q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value  9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.

substituting values

      F_{1-3} =  \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}

       F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N

 The distance between the second and the third charge is      

  d_{2-3} =  0- (-1.22)

   d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

       F_{2-3} =  \frac{k  q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}

substituting values

       F_{2-3} =  \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}

       F_{2-3} =  1.06*10^{-5} N

The net force is

      F_{net} =  F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}

substituting values

    F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}

    F_{net}=  3.22*10^{-5} \ J
