<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>
1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit; its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²
2). a parabola
3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.
4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity
5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion
6). a). 1.8 seconds; b). 13.1 meters; c). 17.6 m/s down; d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion
7). 45 m/s
8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand
9). a). 4.49 m/s; b). 29.7 m/s
10). 7.24 meters
11). 700 meters
12). A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! ); B). 17.5 meters

Answer:
The Earth’s lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle, is made up of a series of pieces, or tectonic plates, that move slowly over time.
A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Pacific Ring of Fire are two examples of divergent plate boundaries.
When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench. A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to convergent plate boundaries and powerful earthquakes are common along these boundaries.
At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.
Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. One of the most famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the San Andreas fault zone, which extends underwater. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions. Rocks that line the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind along, creating a linear fault valley or undersea canyon. Earthquakes are common along these faults. In contrast to convergent and divergent boundaries, crust is cracked and broken at transform margins, but is not created or destroyed.
