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.

Answer

Mass m = 78 kg

Vertical height in each stage h = 11 m

(a).

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 1.1 m / s

v^2=u^2 + 2 as

1.1^2 = 2 a \times 11

a = 0.055 m/s²

Work done

W_a= m g h + \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

W_a= 78\times 9.8 \times 11 + \dfrac{1}{2} 78 \times 1.1^2

W_a = 8408.4 + 47.19

W_a = 8455.59 J

(b).Work done

W_b= mgh

W_b = 78× 9.8× 11

W_b= 8408.4 J

c)

Work done

W= m g h + \dfrac{1}{2}m(v_f-v_i)^2

Where V = final speed

               = 0

            v = 1.1 m / s

for deceleration a = -0.055 m/s²

now,

F_L = 56 (-0.055+9.8) = 545.72 N

W_c = 545.75 × 11

W_c = 6003.25 J

(b) 360 days into seconds.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

(b) We know that,

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 s

So, we found that, 1 day = 86400 s

We need to find the 360 days into seconds. So,

1 day = 86400 s

360 days = 86400×360

360 days = 31104000 seconds

(d) Weight of a body, W = 600 N

Acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.7 m/s²

Weight, W = mg

m is mass of body

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{600}{3.7}\\\\m=162.16\ kg

(e) Mass of body, m = 100 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon, 1.6 m/s²

Weight, W = 100 × 1.6

W = 160 N

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

T<u>he direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is <u>16.7° north of east.</u>

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

Now, substituting the given information we have:

alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)

Hence, we have that <u>the direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

An engine causes a car to move 10 meters with a force of 100 N. The engine produces 10,000 J of energy. What is the efficiency o
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Part A

The efficiency of the engine is 10%

Part B

The change in internal energy is 300 J

Part C

The change in volume is 1 m³ which is one cubic meter

Explanation:

Part A

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of energy output to energy input;

The given parameters are;

The distance the car is moved, d = 10 meters

The force which moves the car, F = 100 N

The amount of energy produced by the engine = 1,000 J

Therefore, we have;

The energy output to the car = The work done on the car = Force applied to the car, F × The distance the car moves, d;

∴ The energy output to the car by the engine = F × d = 100 N × 10 m = 1,000 J

The energy input from the engine = The energy produced by the engine = 10,000 J

The efficiency of the engine = (The energy output)/(The energy input)= 1,000J/10,00J = 0.1

The efficiency in percentage = 0.1 × 100 = 10 %

The efficiency of the engine = 10%

Part B

The amount of heat added to the substance, ΔQ = 1,000J

The amount of work the substance does on the atmosphere, W = 700 J

The change in internal energy, ΔU is given as follows;

ΔQ = W + ΔU

∴ ΔU = ΔQ - W

For the substance, we have;

The change in internal energy, ΔU = 1,000 J - 700 J = 300 J

Part C

The work done by the piston, W = 1,000 J

The pressure, in the piston, P = 1,000 Pa = constant

The work done by the piston in a constant pressure process, W = P × ΔV

Where;

W = The work done

P = The constant pressure applied

ΔV = The change in volume = V₂ - V₁

V₂ = The final volume

V₁ = The initial volume

∴The change in volume ΔV = W/P = 1,000 J/(1,000Pa) = 1 m³

The change in volume ΔV = 1 m³
