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.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit
Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

v_0 = Initial velocity

y_0 = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

t = \frac{18.6}{34}

t = 0.547s

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2

y = 1.46m

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.
Sholpan [36]

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

<u>Conversion:</u>

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = 60 × 24 = 1440 minutes

1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = 60 × 1477

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}

<em>Frequency </em><em>of rotation</em> = <em>0.0000113 Hertz</em>

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
