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).

How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?
lidiya [134]
Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 42 N

Part b)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

F = 159.7 N

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

mg - T = ma

for uniform cylinder we will have

TR = I\alpha

so we have

T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})

T = \frac{1}{2}Ma

now we have

mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a

a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}

a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}

a = 7 m/s^2

now we have

T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}

T = 42 N

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

v_f - v_i = at

11.8 - 0 = 7 t

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

F = T + Mg

F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)

F = 159.7 N

Agri-Chem's contract with Enerco specified a maximum of 90,000 cu.ft. X 103 per day for its complexes. However, curtailments are
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Caustic soda would be least affected by a gas curtailment

Explanation:

Let,

X1= ammonia

X2= ammonium phosphate

X3= ammonium nitrate

X4 = Urea

X5= hydro-fluoric acid

X6= Chlorine

X7= Caustic soda

X8= Vinyl chloride monomer.

Agri chem’s current natural gas usage

= (1200 × 8 + 540 × 10 + 490 × 12 + …)                  

= 85,680,000 cu. ft. per day  

When, the curtailment is 20%, availability is

= 0.8 X  85,680

= 68,554,000 cu. ft. per day

Therefore, the gas constant

= 8X1 + 10X2 + 12X3 + 12X4 + 7X5 + 18X6 + 20X7 + 14X8 ≤68,544

When, the curtailment is 40% availability is

= 0.6 X 85,680

= 51,408,000 cu. ft. per day

Constant = 8X1 + 10X2 + 12X3 + 12X4 + 7X5 + 18X6 + 20X7 + 14X8≤ 51,408
