Answer:

B. convergent boundary

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries, where ocean plates are subducted at trenches, produce the most tsunamis because they produce the largest earthquakes

What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018$

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

$KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}$

$KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2$

Here

$I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2$ meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

$KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2$

So,

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{10}{545+10}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018$

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o

muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

$\Delta v = v_f - v_i$

$\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3$

$\Delta v = -38.1 km/s$

$\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

given that

$\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

$\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s$

now the acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}$

$a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2$

so above is the acceleration

I need help with these questions.

strojnjashka [21]

I'll go ahead and answer the ones here without an answer. For reference, the half-life formula is <em>final amount = original amount(1/2)^(time/half-life)</em>

<em />

4) 12.5g

x = 100(1/2)^(63/21)

5) 50g

3.125 = x(1/2)^(0.1/0.025)

6) 500g

x = 4000(1/2)^(525/175)

7) 0.24g

0.06 = x(1/2)^(11430/5730)

8) 125g

x = 1000(1/2)^(17100/5700)

Hope this helps! :)
