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.

The windshield of a car has a total length of arm and blade of 9 ​inches, and rotates back and forth through an angle of 93degre
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade is 62.49 in²

Explanation:

Given

Length of blade = 9 inches

Angle of rotation = 93°

We're to calculate the area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7​-in wiper​ blade?

We'll solve this by using area of a sector.

Area of a sector = ½r²θ

where θ is in radians.

So, angle of rotation (93°) must first be converted to radians

Converting 93º to radians, we get 31π/60

The area of the region swept out by the wiper blade = (area of the sector where r = 9 and

θ = 31π/60) - (area of the sector where r = (9-7) and θ = 31π/60).

We're making use of 9-7 because that region is outside the boundary of the 7in blade

So Area = ½*9²*31π/60 - ½*2²*31π/60

Area = ½*31π/60(9²-7²)

Area = 31π/120 * (81 - 49)

Area = 31π/120 * 32

Area = 992π/120

Area = 62.49151386765697 in²

Area ≈ 62.49 in²

Hence, the area of the portion of the windshield cleaned by the 7-in wiper blade is 62.49 in²

How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?
shtirl [24]

Answer: Reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.

Explanation:

Reflection is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when it is exposed to a bounce off barrier. Refraction can be defined as the change in the direction of the wave when the wave passes through one medium to another. Diffraction is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when the wave passes through a particular opening near the barrier.
