The San Andreas fault is an example of Transform tectonic plate boundary. 
<span>The San Andreas fault is a long narrow valley where the plates that make up the fault meet. It consists of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. These plates slide past each other when they move. It is also known as a strike-slip fault. As the plates bump and jam against each other as they slide past each other, earthquakes jar the regions around these plates.</span>

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair when Sonia held him and guided him to the nearby sofa, in sunny environment grandfather's eye is set according to high brightness, his pupils become small to lower the number of light rays entering his eye, when he returned from sunny environment to his house which was having low brightness so the pupils should enlarge to absorb more light to see clearly but due to old age his Ciliary muscle of the eye would have worn out and due to this poor coordination the image was not clear.
