Answer:

B. convergent boundary

Explanation:

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

vredina [299]

Explanation:

Total mass=100+10=110

Total weight=mass×gravitational field strength

=110×10

=1100N

Work done=force×distance

=1100×10

=11000J

A rock is dropped from a garage roof from rest. the roof is 6.0 m from the ground. determine the velocity of the rock as it hits

Dmitrij [34]

From rest, a rock is dropped from a garage roof. The roof is 6.0 meters above ground level. The rock will reach the earth at a speed of 10.849 meters per second.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity.

it is a time-based component. Velocity at any angle is resolved to get its component of x and y-direction.

Given data:

V(Final velocity)=? (m/sec)

h(height)= 6.0 m

u(Initial velocity)=0 m/sec

g(gravitational acceleration)=9.81 m/s²

Newton's third equation of motion:

$\rm v_y^2 = u_y^2+ 2gh \\\\\rm v_y^2 = 0+ 2gh\\\\\ v_y= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \ (m/s^2)\times 6.0 (m)} \\\\ v_y=10.849 \ m/sec$

Hence, the velocity of the rock as it hits the ground will be 10.849 m/sec.

if a Firebird travels at a velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds traveling east what was the acceleration of the Firebird

Tresset [83]

Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}$

where $\displaystyle{\vec{a}}$ is acceleration, $\displaystyle{\vec{v}}$ is velocity and $\displaystyle{t}$ is time. $\displaystyle{v_2}$ means final velocity. $\displaystyle{v_1}$ means initial velocity, $\displaystyle{t_2}$ means final time and $\displaystyle{t_1}$ means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
Our initial time is 0 second.
Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}$

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

$\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}$

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.
