Explain what happens at a continental continental convergent

1 answer:

7 0

A subduction zone is formed at a convergent plate boundary when one or both of the tectonic plates is composed of oceanic crust. The denser plate, made of oceanic crust, is subducted underneath the less dense plate, which can be either continental or oceanic crust.

What is the term for the overall change in position?

mart [117]

That's "displacement". It only depends on the beginning and ending locations, and doesn't care about the route between them.

What is the quantity of motion ??

horsena [70]

Answer:

The quantity of motion is the measure of the same, arise from the velocity and quantity of matter conjointly. In other words, rather than defining the quantity of motion of a given object as simply the kinematic velocity v of the object, he defined it as the product mv, where m is the mass of the object.

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below

siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J$

Power is given by

$P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds$

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds
