Los Angeles is presently 550 km south of San Francisco, but is on a plate moving northward relative to San Francisco. If the 5.10 cm/yr velocity continues, how many years will it take before Los Angeles has moved up to San Francisco?

Consider flying between Los Angeles and San Francisco, as shown in the image below. Assume that San Francisco is directly north of Los Angeles, and that the two cities are separated by a distance D=377D=377 miles. The engines of the plane (as with any plane) maintain its speed relative to the air, which for the sake of this problem we take to be constant. Denoting the velocity of the plane relative to the air by v⃗p/av⃗p/a, this means that ∣v⃗p/a∣=v0=424∣v⃗p/a∣=v0=424...

1 of 2) Calculate the speed, C, (in meters per second) of a tsunami with a wavelength of 180,000 meters (180 kilometers or112 miles) and period of 15 minutes traveling over the Pacific (which has an average depth of 4000 meters (4 kilometers or 2.5 miles). Round up your answer so that there is no decimal. Note that the answer is not 200 m/s as it is incorrect 2 of 2) Using the speed of the tsunami that you calculated...

1. Parallel plates. You have two equal but oppositely charged parallel conducting plates, separated by 10 cm. A voltmeter shows that the potential difference between the plates is 500 V. (a) Which is at a higher potential, the positive or negative plate? (b) How big is the electric field between the plates? (c) You let go of an electron next to the negative plate. How much work does the electric field do in moving the electron to the positive plate?...

1. A 10-g bullet travels vertically upwards at 1000 m/s, then strikes and passes through a 2.0-kg block initially at rest. The bullet emerges from the block with a speed of 400 m/s because it transfers momentum to the block. (a) How much momentum did the block gain? (b) How fast is the block now moving, and what is its kinetic energy? (c) Using energy considerations only, to what maximum height...
