What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr

al America? What sort of plate boundary does this relationship indicate?

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 11 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
Butoxors [25]
(a) 3.56 m/s 
(b) 11 - 3.72a 
(c) t = 5.9 s 
(d) -11 m/s  
For most of these problems, you're being asked the velocity of the rock as a function of t, while you've been given the position as a function of t. So first calculate the first derivative of the position function using the power rule. 
y = 11t - 1.86t^2 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
Now that you have the first derivative, it will give you the velocity as a function of t. 
(a) Velocity after 2 seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72*2 = 11 - 7.44 = 3.56 
So the velocity is 3.56 m/s  
(b) Velocity after a seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72a  
So the answer is 11 - 3.72a  
(c) Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros for the position function y = 11t-1.86t^2. Roots are t = 0 and t = 5.913978495. The t = 0 is for the moment the rock was thrown, so the answer is t = 5.9 seconds.  
(d) Plug in the value of t calculated for (c) into the velocity function, so: 
y' = 11 - 3.72a
 y' = 11 - 3.72*5.913978495
 y' = 11 - 22
 y' = -11 
 So the velocity is -11 m/s which makes sense since the total energy of the rock will remain constant, so it's coming down at the same speed as it was going up.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

h=17005.8 km

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force experimented by a satellite of mass m orbiting Mars, which has mass M=6.39\times10^{23} kg at a distance r will be:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2 is the gravitational constant.

This force is the centripetal force the satellite experiments, so we can write:

F=ma_{cp}=mr\omega^2=mr(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2=\frac{4\pi^2mr}{T^2}

Putting all together:

\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{4\pi^2mr}{T^2}

which means:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{GM}{4\pi^2}T^2}

Which for our values is:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(6.39\times10^{23} kg)}{4\pi^2}(1.026\times24\times60\times60s)^2}=20395282m=20395.3km

Since this distance is measured from the center of Mars, to have the height above the Martian surface we need to substract the radius of Mars R=3389.5 km , which leaves us with:

h=r-R=20395.3km-3389.5 km=17005.8 km
