Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that move slowly. Suppose one such plate has an average speed of 8.8 cm per year. (a) What distance does it move in 35 seconds at this speed (note that your answer should be in meters while your given speed is in cm/year)? (b) How many miles will the plate move in one million years at this speed?

What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel?

Which is not true of the intertropical convergence zone? a) it features heavy precipitation b) it's where the trade winds collidec) it's a high-pressure zone with sinking air d) it is also known as the doldrums

Arefrigerator uses r-134a as the working fluid and operates on the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle except for the compression process. the refrigerant enters the evaporator at 120 kpa with a quality of 34 percent and leaves the compressor at 70°c. if the compressor consumes 450 w of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the condenser pressure, and (c) the cop of the refrigerator. (0.00644 kg/s, 800 kpa, 2.03)
