so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate

s. Describe the hypothesis scientists use to explain the movement of tectonic plates. Which hypothesis do many scientists think may explain the great force needed to move plates?
Physics

Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.

A bug is on the rim of a disk of diameter 9 in that moves from rest to an angular speed of 76 rev/min in 6.5 s. what is the tang
ehidna [41]
Let's convert the final angular speed of the disk into rad/s:
\omega_f = 76  \frac{rev}{min} \cdot  \frac{2 \pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=7.96 rad/s
while the initial angular speed is zero.

So, the angular acceleration of the disk is
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t} = \frac{7.96 rad/s}{6.5 s}=1.22 rad/s^2

The radius of the disk is half the diameter: r= d/2 = 9 m/2 =4.5 m

And so, the tangential acceleration is the angular acceleration times the radius:
a_t = \alpha r =(1.22 rad/s^2)(4.5 m)=5.49 m/s^2
