Answer:

It probably won't get any taller, though. From a geological standpoint, the Appalachians haven't seen much growth in quite a while. Since the dawn of the dinosaurs about 225 million years ago, this range has been getting whittled down by weathering forces.

Answer:

mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. ... Bottom line: mountains can get taller than Mount Everest in earth gravity, like the Appalachians probably did—but not much taller.

Which vector should be negative?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.

6. Since we are not sure if the person in the question is actively lifting the crate, we have to determine the downwards force of the crate due to gravity and compare it to the normal force.

F = ma

F = (15.3)(-9.8)

F = -150N

Since the downwards force of the crate is equivalent to the normal force, it means the person is applying no force in picking up the object. So to pick up a 150N object from scratch, you would have to exert more force than the weight of the object, so the answer is 294N.

7. Same idea as question 2.

First determine the weight of the object:

F = ma

F = (30)(-9.8)

F = -294N

The crate in question is not moving, so the magnitudes of the forces in the upwards and downwards direction has to equal to 0.

-294 + 150N + x = 0

x = 144N

So the person is exerting 144 N.

10. First find the force of block B to the right due to its acceleration:

F = ma

F = (24)(0.5)

F = 12N

So block B is moving 12N to the right relative to block A due to block A's movement to the left. However, block A is being applied a much greater force and is moving quicker to the left than block B is moving to the right of bock A. The force that is causing block B to experience the lower relative force to the right is because of the friction. To find the friction:

The sum of the forces in the leftward and rightward direction for block B must equal 12N.

75 - x = 12

x = 63N

So the force of friction of block A on block B is 63N to the left.

A plane travels at a speed of 205mph in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 1000 miles. F

While plane is moving under tailwind condition it took time "t"

so here we will have

$t = \frac{d}{v_{net}}$
