<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>

Answer:

Energy is essentially work done by an object or on object.

From,

W = Fd

It's directly proportional to mass.

from,

K. E = 1/2mv²

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

P. E = mgh

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

H = mc∆T

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

Thus increasing mass will increase the energy also imparted on another object since all the above eqns show that relationship.

And for 2 moving bodies

K.Ei = K.Ef(energy conservation)

m1u²1 + m2u²2 = m1v²1 + m2v²2

The relationship is the same that the greater mass the greater the impact.

Answer:

Angular velocity (w) = 8.86 rad/s

Explanation:

Angular velocity (w) = \sqrt{} 4ghi/R^{2}

g= 9.81 m/s

R= 0.5

hi (initial depth) = 0.5m

Hence= \sqrt4* 9.81* 0.5/0.5^{2}  = 8.86 rad/s
