How does a kitchen sponge floating in water compare to the zone of saturation and the water table

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

If a stone dropped into a well reaches the water's surface after 3.0 seconds, how far did the stone drop before hitting the wate

pogonyaev

Let h = distance (m) to the water surface.

Initial velocity, u = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acc. due to graity)
t = time (s)

h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m

Because you know that gravity is in m/s^2 so, period will be measured in seconds. You know the cable is 12m long and gravity is 9.81 solve for T (period) 2π12sqrt(9.81)=6.94922
