<span>Beyond the philosophical objections there was also initially a very serious question about what force would be sufficiently large to continue pushing large plates of rock. The original proposer of the modern theory, Wegener, has not compelling answer to this question. We now know there are convection currents in the earth mantle under the continental plates that provide such a force.</span>

In a heat engine, if 500 J of heat enters the system, and the piston does 300 J of work.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: The final answer is 1,700 J

Explanation: According to first law of thermodynamics:

=Final energy-initial energy=Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

w = work done by or on the system

w = work done by the system=  {Work done by the system is negative as the final volume is greater than initial volume}

q = +500J   {Heat absorbed by the system is positive}

w = work done by the system = -300J

U2- 1500J= + 500J --300J

U2= 1700J

When finding net force, why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an object?
Mariulka [41]
<h3>One reason we should know what the directions of the forces acting on an object is so we can know if we have to add or subtract. same = add together, opposite = subtract from each other. Also if we don't pay attention to the direction the Net force will be wont be accurate. There will be factors that will upset the calculation.So we must know the direction of the two forces because we have to know if we are adding or subtracting and if the answer is accurate. </h3>
