The answer is believed to be C because the evidence is from fossils and glaciers.

The answer is D because if there are tropical fossils in Antartica that means that the continents were once together, which proves plate tectonics because that means plate tectonics moved the supercontinent (Pangea) apart.

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on ju

denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) $h=250\ m$

b) $\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

upward acceleration of the helicopter, $a=5\ m.s^{-2}$

time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off, $t_a=10\ s$

Maximum height reached by the helicopter:

using the equation of motion,

$h=u.t+\frac{1}{2} a.t^2$

where:

u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)

t = time of observation

$h=0+0.5\times 5\times 10^2$

$h=250\ m$

time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall), $t_f=7\ s$

acceleration after deploying the parachute, $a_p=2\ m.s^{-2}$

height fallen freely by Austin:

$h_f=u.t_f+\frac{1}{2} g.t_f^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)

$t_f=$ time of free fall

$h_f=0+0.5\times 9.8\times 7^2$

$h_f=240.1\ m$

Velocity just before opening the parachute:

$v_f=u+g.t_f$

$v_f=0+9.8\times 7$

$v_f=68.6\ m.s^{-1}$

Time taken by the helicopter to fall:

$h=u.t_h+\frac{1}{2} g.t_h^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0

$t_h=$ time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground

$h=$ height from where it falls = 250 m

now,

$250=0+0.5\times 9.8\times t_h^2$

$t_h=7.1429\ s$

From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.

remaining time,

$t'=t_h-t_f$

$t'=7.1428-7$

$t'=0.1428\ s$

Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:

$h'=v_f.t'+\frac{1}{2} a_p.t'^2$

$h'=68.6\times 0.1428+0.5\times 2\times 0.1428^2$

$h'=9.8165\ m$

Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:

$\Delta h=h-(h_f+h')$

$\Delta h=250-(240.1+9.8165)$

$\Delta h=0.0835\ m$

I NEED HELP ON 2 QUESTIONS PLEASEEE

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 6.25 s later. What is the depth of the well? (Take the speed of

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

depth of well is 163.30 m

Explanation:

Given data

speed of sound = 343 m/s

timer = 6.25 s

to find out

depth of well

solution

let us consider depth d

so equation will be

depth = 1/2 ×g ×t² ..............1

and

depth = velocity of sound × time .................2

here we have given time 6.25 that is sum of 2 time

when stone reach at bottom that time

another is sound reach us after stone strike on bottom

so time 1 + time 2 = 6.25 s

so from equation 1 and 2 we get

1/2 ×g ×t² = velocity of sound × time

1/2 ×9.8 × t1² = 343 × (6.25 - t1 )

t1 = 5.77376 sec

so height = 1/2 ×g ×t²

height = 1/2 ×9.8 × (5.773)²

height = 163.30 m
