All the continents were connected in one large landmass.If you take a map and cut out all the Continent, you can see that they fit together almost perfectly, like a giant puzzle. This idea supports the fact that <span>all the continents were connected in one large landmass.

The t<span>heory of Continental Drift is a theory which earth used to have one giant landmass called Pangea. 

The shape and size of today's continents all look like they fit together like a puzzle. The edges look somewhat like they would fit together. If you cut out all continents and pieced them together into one giant landmass it would look nearly perfect. This is why today's continents support the t</span><span>heory of Continental Drift

Hope this helped. Have a great day!</span>

I need the solution to this

Answer:

He could jump 2.6 meters high.

Explanation:

Jumping a height of 1.3m requires a certain initial velocity v_0. It turns out that this scenario can be turned into an equivalent: if a person is dropped from a height of 1.3m in free fall, his velocity right before landing on the ground will be v_0. To answer this equivalent question, we use the kinematic equation:

v_0 = \sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.3m}=5.0\frac{m}{s}

With this result, we turn back to the original question on Earth: the person needs an initial velocity of 5 m/s to jump 1.3m high, on the Earth.

Now let's go to the other planet. It's smaller, half the radius, and its meadows are distinctly greener. Since its density is the same as one of the Earth, only its radius is half, we can argue that the gravitational acceleration g will be <em>half</em> of that of the Earth (you can verify this is true by writing down the Newton's formula for gravity, use volume of the sphere times density instead of the mass of the Earth, then see what happens to g when halving the radius). So, the question now becomes: from which height should the person be dropped in free fall so that his landing speed is 5 m/s ? Again, the kinematic equation comes in handy:

v_0^2 = 2g_{1/2}h\implies \\h = \frac{v_0^2}{2g_{1/2}}=\frac{25\frac{m^2}{s^2}}{2\cdot 4.9\frac{m}{s^2}}=2.6m

This results tells you, that on the planet X, which just half the radius of the Earth, a person will jump up to the height of 2.6 meters with same effort as on the Earth. This is exactly twice the height he jumps on Earth. It now all makes sense.

Which of the following are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense magnetic fields? Choose one answer.a. pulsa
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer: Pulsars</h2>

A <u>pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals ( rotating really fast) due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.  

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Let's clarify:

A neutron star, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.  

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.  

However, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its high rotating speed.

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
Rainbow [258]
An object in motion will stay in motion, therefore the person will still be going the same speed as the car was going before the collision

maksim [4K]

Answer:

People often overestimate the clarity of their intentions in their electronic communications because they underestimate the importance of tones of voice in communication.

Explanation:

Many factors intervene in communication together. We use words, we use non-verbal language through our gestures and attitudes, and we also use a certain tone of voice. If we focus on this last aspect, the tonality in the voice is decisive in many ways, which cannot be appreciated through electronic communications. With this we communicate emotions, attitudes and a degree of personal involvement. At the same time, the image we project on others largely depends on the tone of voice we have.

A common way to measure the distance to lightning is to start counting, one count per second, as soon as you see the flash. Stop
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

d = 1.07 mile

Explanation:

The rationale for this method is that the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound, the definition of speed in uniform motion is  

v = d / t  

d = v t  

the speed of sound is worth  

v = 343 m / s  

Therefore, the speed of sound must be multiplied by time to do this, all the units must be in the same system, as the distance in miles is requested  

v = 343 m/s (1mile/1609 m) (3600s/1 h) = 343 (2.24) = 767.4 mile/h  

v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1609 m) = 0.213, mile/ s  

If the measured time is t = 5s we multiply it by the speed  

we substitute  

d = 0.213 5

d = 1.07 mile

If you want to calculate the speed, this method in general is not widely used, since you must know the distance where the lightning occurred, which is relatively complicated.
