The earth's crust is broken up into a series of more-or-less rigid plates that slide around due to motion of material in the mantle below. Although the speeds of these plates vary somewhat, they are typically about 5.2 cm/ycm/y. Assume that this rate remains constant over time. a) If you and your neighbor live on opposite sides of a plate boundary at which one plate is moving northward at 5.2 cm/ycm/y with respect to the other plate, how far apart do your houses move in a century? Express your answer in meters b) Los Angeles is presently 550 kmkm south of San Francisco, but is on a plate moving northward relative to San Francisco. If the 5.2 cm/ycm/y velocity continues, how many years will it take before Los Angeles has moved up to San Francisco? Express your answer in years.
Answer parts a, and b of the following question. 7. a) Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100 m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s. How long does it take for them to meet? b) The captain orders his starship to accelerate from rest at a rate of "1 g" (1 g = 9.8 m/s2). How many days does it take the starship to reach 10% the speed of light? (Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s.)
