[ Answer ]

$\boxed{We \ can \ use \ the \ past \ to \ learn \ about \ the \ future}$

[ Explanation ]

When studying fossils, we can get a better image of how the Earth has changed through time. Fossils are no longer living. They are the remains of once living things, so by studying them, we can get an image of how they differ from animals and plants in our "today world."

We can learn about the future by studying the past. Certain weather patterns might have caused a species to adapt or go extinct, thus causing us to discover them and explore and create new ideas about the Earth and its secrets.

We can learn about life in the past from fossils. Fossils give us an accurate answer to all our guesses and hypothesis's. When studying these creatures or animals, we are able to sharpen our knowledge of the past.

At this rate, how long would it take for two continents 3500 kilometers apart to collide?

meriva

Given:

3,500 kilometers

Find:

Years for two continents to collide = ?

Solution:

We know that typical motions of one plate relative to another are 1 centimeter per year.

So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

1 km = 100,000 cm

3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm

Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means 350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.

Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.

To add, a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.

How much kinetic energy does a 50 kg object have if its moving at a velocity of 2 m/s?

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

C) 100 joules

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the mass of the object and v its speed.

In this problem, we have an object of mass m = 50 kg and v = 2 m/s, so by using the formula we can find its kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(50 kg)(2 m/s)^2=100 J$

What are 7 examples of potential energy

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Hewo Otaku Kun Here! (UwU)

Explanation:

1. A rock sitting at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy.

2. Tree branches high up in a tree have potential energy because they can fall to the ground.

3. A stick of dynamite has chemical potential energy that would be released when the activation energy from the fuse comes into contact with the chemicals.

4. The food we eat has chemical potential energy because as our body digests it, it provides us with energy for basic metabolism.

5. A stretched spring in a pinball machine has elastic potential energy and can move the steel ball when released.

6. When a crane swings a wrecking ball up to a certain height, it gains more potential energy and has the ability to crash through buildings.

7. A set of double "A" batteries in a remote control car possess chemical potential energy which can supply electricity to run the car.

happy to help!

A boat produced water waves of frequency 4 Hz and wavelength 2m, if it reached the shore after 2 seconds how far is the boat fro

kap26 [50]

Answer:

S = 16 m

Explanation:

Given that

The frequency of the water waves, f = 4 Hz

The wavelength of the water waves, λ = 2 m

The time the waves reached the shore, t = 2 s

The relation between the velocity, wavelength, and the frequency of the wave is given by the relation,

v = f λ m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 4 x 2

= 8 m/s

The velocity of the water waves is v = 8 m/s

The distance between the shore and boat is given by

s = v x t

= 8 x 2

= 16 m

Hence, the distance between the boat and the shore is, s = 16 m

If a 6.1 A resistive load is connected by 2-conductor stranded 2-AWG copper wire to a source voltage of 125.2 V that is 358 ft a

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

124.86 V

Explanation:

We have to first calculate the voltage drop across the copper wire. The copper wire has a length of 358 ft

1 ft = 0.3048 m

358 ft = 109.12 m

The diameter of 2 AWG copper wire (d) = 6.544 mm = 0.006544 m

The area of the wire = πd²/4 = (π × 6.544²)/4 = 33.6 mm²

Resistivity of wire (ρ) = 0.0171 Ω.mm²/m

The resistance of the wire = $\frac{\rho A}{l}=\frac{0.0171*109.12 }{33.6} =0.056\ ohm$

The voltage drop across wire = current * resistance = 6.1 A * 0.056 ohm = 0.34 V

The voltage at end = 125.2 - 0.34 = 124.86 V
