D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.
Explanation:
New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.
The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.
His theory needed more scientific backing also.
- A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
- Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
- This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

The cell structure that helps support plants is the cell wall. It provides a shell structure around the main cell of the plant and its layers so then it will have the adequate amount of strength that it needs. It's also one of the reasons why even non-woody plants such as herbs have the strength of support itself.
Answer:
a) t₁ = 4.76 s, t₂ = 85.2 s
b) v = 209 ft/s
Explanation:
Constant acceleration equations:
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
v = at + v₀
where x is final position,
x₀ is initial position,
v₀ is initial velocity,
a is acceleration,
and t is time.
When the engine is on and the sled is accelerating:
x₀ = 0 ft
v₀ = 0 ft/s
a = 44 ft/s²
t = t₁
So:
x = 22 t₁²
v = 44 t₁
When the engine is off and the sled is coasting:
x = 18350 ft
x₀ = 22 t₁²
v₀ = 44 t₁
a = 0 ft/s²
t = t₂
So:
18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) t₂
Given that t₁ + t₂ = 90:
18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) (90 − t₁)
Now we can solve for t₁:
18350 = 22 t₁² + 3960 t₁ − 44 t₁²
18350 = 3960 t₁ − 22 t₁²
9175 = 1980 t₁ − 11 t₁²
11 t₁² − 1980 t₁ + 9175 = 0
Using quadratic formula:
t₁ = [ 1980 ± √(1980² - 4(11)(9175)) ] / 22
t₁ = 4.76, 175
Since t₁ can't be greater than 90, t₁ = 4.76 s.
Therefore, t₂ = 85.2 s.
And v = 44 t₁ = 209 ft/s.
