Why was the idea of continental drift not initially accepted by many other scientists and the general public at the time?

1 answer:

4 0

<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>

Answer:

The bulbs should be connected in parallel.

Explanation:

We want to find out a way to hook up 2 light bulbs and a battery so that when one bulb burns out or is disconnected the other bulbs stays lit.

We must connect the two bulbs in parallel so that even when one bulb is burns out, it will have no effect on the other bulb and the 2nd bulb will keep on working. The current flowing in each bulb will depend upon the resistance of each bulb and the voltage will be same across each bulb.

On the other hand, if we use a series circuit then if one bulb burns out then the there is no flow of current in the circuit and therefore, the second bulb will not be operational.

The current flowing through each bulb is given by

I = V/R

The voltage across each bulb is given by

V = IReq

Where I is the current and Req is the equivalent resistance of the two bulbs connected in parallel and is given by

Req = (R₁*R₂)/(R₁+R₂)

The connection diagram is attached where two bulbs are connected in parallel and are power with a battery.

You're carrying a 3.0-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pol

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$F=133N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length $l=3.0m$

Mass $m=24kg$

Distance from Tip $d=35cm$

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$mg(l/2)=F(l-d)$

$2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)$

Therefore

$F=133N$

Why do we need the periodic table? First to answer get brainless!!!!!

mylen [45]

<span>The periodic table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the known elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass.
