Answer:

True

Explanation:

How were the aleutian islands formed? In southwestern Alaska, those two plates meet head on, and the Pacific plate sinks beneath the North American plate. In this subduction zone, some of the ocean plate melts and the molten rock pushes to the surface in a string of 40 active volcanoes, forming the Aleutian Islands.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars

shtirl [24]

In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

A man of weight Wman is standing on the second floor and is pulling on a rope to lift a box of weight Wbox from the floor below.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attached figure . See the forces acting on man pulling up the box .

Man is stationary so net force acting on man is zero .

T + R = Wman

R is the reaction force of the ground of second floor .

R = Wman - T

Use the graph below to answer the following question: What is happening to the object's velocity?

hjlf

The object's velocity is decreasing.

Explanation:

From graph is the attached image, we can clearly point that the velocity of this motion is decreasing with time.

Velocity is a vector quantity.

The y-axis represent displacement.
The x-axis depicts time
Using the graph, we know that the slope of the line on the graph gives us the velocity as it denotes the change of displacement with time.
When we find the slope, it will give us a negative value which shows that the body is slowing down and not increasing speed.
