<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>

timama [110]

Answer:

Workdone = 1960 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Force = 49N

Height (distance) = 40m

To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49*40

Workdone = 1960 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of work done on the bowling ball to lift it is 1960 Joules.

2 Ten identical lengths of wire are laid closely side-by-
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

(a) 0.71 mm

(b) 0.158 cubic cm

Explanation:

The width of one wire is the diameter of the wire.

(a) Let the diameter of each wire is d.

So, 10 d = 14.2 mm

d = 1.42 mm

radius of each wire, r = d/2 = 1.42/2 = 0.71 mm

(b) Length, L = 10 cm

The volume of the single wire is given by

V =\pi\times r^2\times h \\\\V =3.14\times 0.071^2\times 10\\\\V =0.158 cm^3
