Calculate the average velocity in m/y of a tectonic plate that has travelled 9000 km to the south in 60 million years

<span>The distance covered by the tectonic plate, in meters, is
</span>d=9000km=9\cdot 10^6 m<span>
 The time taken for the tectonic plate to cover this distance is equal to
</span>t=60 mil.y=60 \cdot 10^6 y<span>
Therefore, the average velocity of the tectonic plate is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken: 
</span>v= \frac{S}{t} = \frac{9\cdot 10^6m}{60 \cdot 10^6y} =0.15 m/y.<span>

cluponka [151]

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b)  70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

         cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

         sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

         x₁ = v₁ cos 45

         y₁ = v₁ sin 45

         x₁ = 26 cos 45

         y₁ = 26 sin 45

         x₁ = 18.38 km

         y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

        y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

          x3 =?

          y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

           R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

      Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

       x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

       x₃ = 0 - 18.38

       x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

      R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

       y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

       y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

       y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

         v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

         v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

         v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y₃ / x₃

           θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

           θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

           θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

          θ’= 180 -19.8

          θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

          θ’’ = 90-19.8

          θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

In coordinates with the origin at the barn door, the cow walks from x 0 to x 6.9 m as you apply a force with x component Fx 320.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

-209.42J

Explanation:

Here is the complete question.

A balky cow is leaving the barn as you try harder and harder to push her back in. In coordinates with the origin at the barn door, the cow walks from x = 0 to x = 6.9 m as you apply a force with x-component Fx=−[20.0N+(3.0N/m)x]. How much work does the force you apply do on the cow during this displacement?

Solution

The work done by a force W = ∫Fdx since our force is variable.

Since the cow moves from x₁ = 0 m to x₂ = 6.9 m and F = Fx =−[20.0N+(3.0N/m)x] the force applied on the cow.

So, the workdone by the force on the cow is  

W = ∫₀⁶°⁹Fx dx = ∫₀⁶°⁹−[20.0N+(3.0N/m)x] dx

= ∫₀⁶°⁹−[20.0Ndx - ∫₀⁶°⁹(3.0N/m)x] dx

= −[20.0x]₀⁶°⁹ - [3.0x²/2]₀⁶°⁹

= -[20 × 6.9 - 20 × 0] - [3.0 × 6.9²/2 - 3.0 × 0²/2]

= -[138 - 0] - [71.415 - 0] J = (-138 - 71.415) J

= -209.415 J ≅ -209.42J

You throw a Frisbee of mass m and radius r so that it is spinning about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the plane of the Fris
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Torque τ =w ×0 = 0

Explanation:

We know that the torque is given by the product of the force and perpendicular distance between the force and the axis.

Here the gravity force act at the center and the rotational axis is also passing through the center.

Therefore the perpendicular distance between the force and the rotational axis would be zero.

Hence the torque will be

Torque = Force × Perpendicular distance

Torque = mg×0 = 0

Therefore the torque would be zero.

Aaron Agin nodded off while driving home from play practice this past Sunday evening. His 1500-kg car hit a series of guardrails
Inessa [10]

Answer: 6.48m/s

Explanation:

First, we know that Impulse = change in momentum

Initial velocity, u = 19.8m/s

Let,

Velocity after first collision = x m/s

Velocity after second collision = y m/s

Also, we know that

Impulse = m(v - u). But then, the question said, the guard rail delivered a "resistive" impulse. Thus, our impulse would be m(u - v).

5700 = 1500(19.8 - x)

5700 = 29700 - 1500x

1500x = 29700 - 5700

1500x = 24000

x = 24000/1500

x = 16m/s

Also, at the second guard rail. impulse = ft, so that

Impulse = 79000 * 0.12

Impulse = 9480

This makes us have

Impulse = m(x - y)

9480 = 1500(16 -y)

9480 = 24000 - 1500y

1500y = 24000 - 9480

1500y = 14520

y = 14520 / 1500

y = 9.68

Then, the velocity decreases by 3.2, so that the final velocity of the car is

9.68 - 3.2 = 6.48m/s

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.
