If a fence were built across the fault in 2005 how far apart will the two sections of now broken fence be in 2030

Respuesta :

V⃗  is a vector 24.8 units in magnitude and points at an angle of 23.4 above the negative x axis. calculate Vx and Vy 

Answer:

The two sections will be 125cm apart in 2030.

Explanation:

The rate of movement in the San Andreas fault is said to be between 4 and 6 cm a year. I am going to use 5 cm a year.

The fence was built in 2005, so in 2005 the separation was of 0 cm.

2030 is 2030-2005 = 25 years from 2005, so the separation is of 25*5 = 125 cm.

The two sections will be 125cm apart in 2030.
