<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>

koban [17]

Explanation:

Efficiency is defined as the ratio between the useful output over the total amount consumed. E = \frac{useful}{total}

The fan does 500W of useful work while wasting 300 W. The total power consumption is 800 W (500 + 300).

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, v_t=60\ m/s

Area of cross section, A=0.33\ m^2

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

R = W

or

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg

Where

\rho is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.
