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?

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.

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg    

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V     (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}    

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg

WORTH 47 POINTS!!! It's EASY too!

The Factors are Temperature and kinetic energy, the temperature is because the particles are going to move fast which means the particles in a solid container or in solid pattern they will actually vibrate and they will expand , when temperature increase, more kinetic energy between the particles .
examples is that in the steel when you heat a steel the particles inside it will vibrate then the particles speed up because the vibration increases, therefore the temperature increases so a a thermal expansion occurs that the vibration of the particles will take up more space so the steel bar expands slightly in all Direction if the temperature Falls the reverse happens and the material or steel contracts which means get smaller .
another example is the thermometer, the thermometer has a liquid inside it which is Mercury or alcohol this liquid expands when the temperature rises, the tube is made narrow so that a small increase in volume of the liquid produces a large movement along the tube.
