Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

An object travels at a speed of 7500 cm/sec . how far will it travel in kilometers in one day
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

6480 km

Explanation:

The speed of the object is

v = 7500 cm/sec

We need to convert centimetres into kilometers and seconds into days. We have:

1 cm = 1\cdot 10^5 km

1 s = \frac{1}{60\cdot 60 \cdot 24}d

Using these conversion factors, we find:

v=7500 \frac{cm}{s} \cdot 1\cdot 10^{-5} \frac{km}{cm}\cdot (24)(60)(60) \frac{s}{d}=6480 km

Superman takes 8 seconds to stop a runway train over a distance of 58 m using a power of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Workdone = 600 Kilojoules

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Time = 8 seconds

Power = 75,000 Watts

Distance = 58 m

To find the work done;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Thus, work done is given by the formula;

Workdone = power * time

Workdone = 75000 * 8

Workdone = 600,000 = 600 KJ

g A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height eq
Anni [7]

Answer:

Only a decreasing gravitational force that acts downward

Explanation:

The gravitational force is the gravitational pull which attract a mass of smaller size by the mass of a bigger size.  It is the force which attract two masses close to each other.

In the context, when a ball is tossed up from the surface of an asteroid that have no atmosphere, the ball rises up and then falls back to the surface of the asteroid. The ball falls back because the gravitational pull of the asteroid pulls back the ball to its surface. Thus a decreasing gravitational force acts on the ball in the downward direction while the ball is in its way up.

A block of height 120mm is placed on top of another block with a height of 1.50 m. What is the height of the two blocks together
Kamila [148]
We will first convert all units to meters and then solve the problem.
We are given that:
1000 mm = 1 m
120 mm = ?? meters
using cross multiplication:
120 mm = (120*1) / 1000 = 0.12 m

Now, when the two objects are placed over each other, their total height is the result of summation of both heights, therefore:
total height = 0.12 + 1.5 = 1.62 m

Based on the above calculations, the correct choice is:
b) 1.62 m
