Due to continental drift, Africa and South America are moving away from each other at a rate of 4 centimeters per year. The two coasts are currently separated by 5,000 km. Assuming this drift rate is constant, how long ago were the coasts touching. Answer in millions of years

A) 20 m

The magnitude of displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the object.

For a particle in motion, the magnitude is either less than or equal to the distance travelled.

Also,

Velocity is simply defined as the rate of change of displacement with time.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Velocity = displacement / time

According to the question,

The following data were obtained:

Time = 5 s

Velocity = 4 m/s

Displacement =?

Velocity = displacement / time

4 = d / 5

The minimum coefficient of static friction is  0.807

Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other.

According to the question,

When an object turns on a curve path at a specific speed, two forces will be acting on the object which balance each other:

Centripetal force and friction force.

The friction coefficient between the object and the path is independent of the object's mass.

Given,

The radius of a corner is, r=4.16m

The turning speed of the car is, v

[tex]20km/h * (\frac{\frac{5}{18}m/s }{1km/h} )[/tex]

= 5.72 m/s

To avoid slipping a coffee cup on the car's dashboard, the centripetal force would balance the friction force.

So,  Fc=Ff

[tex]\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]=μmg

μ=[tex]\frac{v^2}{rg}[/tex]

Here,

Fc represents the centripetal force.

Ff represents the friction force.

μ represents the coefficient of static friction.

g represents the gravitational acceleration whose value is 9.8m/s²

By Substituting the values in the above formula, we get:

μ =[tex]\frac{(5.72m/s)^2}{(4m)(9.8m/s^2)} \\[/tex]  ≈ 0.807

The impact will last for 3.3 milliseconds, the average force applied to the nail will be [m (v² - u²)]/2s, and the average force applied to the nail will be 883.2 N, respectively.

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Average force,F = ?

Mass,m = 0.46 kg

Acceleration,a

Final velocity,v = 0 m/sec

Initial velocity,u = 6.5 m/sec

The duration of the impact, assuming the acceleration is constant is found with the help of Newton's third equation of motion as;

v²=u²+2as

0  = (6.5)² + 2 ×a × 1.1 × 10⁻²

- 42.25 = 2 × a × 1.1 × 10⁻²

a = - 1920 m/s²

a = (v-u)/t

-1920 = (0-6.5)/t

t = 3 × 10⁻³ sec

t = 3.3 milli second

From Newton's third equation of motion;

v² = u² +2as

a = (v² - u² ) /2s

The average force exerted on the nail, in terms of the mass, initial velocity, and distance traveled is;

F = ma

F = [m (v² - u² )] /2s

The average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail is;

F = [m (v² - u² )] /2s

F= ma

Substitute the given value;

F = 0.469 × 1920

F = 883.2 N

Hence the duration of the impact, the average force exerted on the nail and the average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail will be 3.3 milliseconds, F = [m (v² - u² )] /2s and 883.2 N respectively.

Explanation:

The image distance must match the distance between the lens and the retina for clear vision. Consequently, the image distance is v = 2 cm

The magnification of the lens is given by

m = v/u = h'/h

v/u = h'/ h

h' = ( v/u ) × h

h' = ( 2cm /-120cm ) × 1.5cm

h' = - 0.025cm

Therefore, the height of the image is 0.025 cm

c)Compared to the 133.33 seconds it would take without the wind, the overall round-trip time is affected by the wind.

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

At the top of the circle, we have:

- Force of gravity (downward)

*Although the rock is still connected to the string, if the rock is swinging at the minimum speed required, there will be no tension in the string.

Therefore, only the force of gravity produces the net centripetal force:
