Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

What feature of the ocean basin is formed when old oceanic crust is forced under continental plates?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Mid ocean ridge is formed when old oceanic crust is forced under continental plates.

Explanation:

Ocean basin is a kind of land surface that is present under an ocean and below the water.

Ocean basin contain continental shelf,mid ocean ridge that is found on the sea floor.

The size of ocean basin is equal to the size of an ocean and is found below the ocean.

When, water covers the earth's crust region in the distant past,ocean basin formation occurs.This prcess require long time as spreading of sea floor and tectonic plates takes place.

Ex-Atlantic Ocean basin is formed over million years that is present in the European Continent.

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

v_x = 11.78 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

v = 12 units

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

v_x = v cos\theta

v_x = 12 cos11

v_x = 11.78 m/s

what two objects have stored energy? A. ball rolling on the ground B. a small rock sitting on top of a big rock C. a stretched r
Verizon [17]

The correct statements are:

B. a small rock sitting on top of a big rock

As the rock is at a height with respect to ground it has potential Energy

and

C. a stretched rubber band

A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy


The others are actually moving and hence would consist of Kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored in objects that do not move and are stationary.
