in california the pacific plate slides past the north american plate. If the pcific plate is moving at a speed of 5 centimeters per year, how long will take for the plate to travel 100 meters

6.34×10⁹ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

V = d/t Equation 1

Where V = speed plate, d =  distance covered by the plate, t = time it takes the plate to travel

make t the subject of the equation

t = d/V Equation 2

From the question,

Given: d = 5 cm/yr = (5×3.154×10⁻⁹) = 1.577×10⁻⁸ m/s,  d = 100 meter

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 100/1.577×10⁻⁸

t = 6.34×10⁹ seconds

Hence the time it takes the the plate to travel is 6.34×10⁹ seconds

where is the circuit diagram ?

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
