<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>
</span>

satela [25.4K]
The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
I= \frac{P}{A} (1)
where
P is the power
A is the area

In our problem, the intensity is I=6.0 \cdot 10^{-10} W/m^2. At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (6.0 m)^2 = 452.2 m^2

And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
P=IA = (6.0 \cdot 10^{-10}W/m^2)(452.2 m^2)=2.7 \cdot 10^{-7} W

Likurg_2 [28]
First off, you can cross out alternating current because a 9V battery doesn't give out AC, it gives out solely DC. If the battery is connected to each battery individually, then they are in parallel. So, according to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, in parallel, V total = V1 = V2= V3..
So I'd say B) !

chubhunter [2.5K]

Explanation:

Whole system will accelerate under the action of applied force. The box will experience the force against the friction and when this force exceeds then the box will move. so

Ff = μs×m1×g

m1×a = μs×m1×g

a = μs×g

The applied force is given by

F = (m1 + m2)×a so

F = μs×g×(m1+m2)
