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

<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>

How much heat is absorbed by a 66g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 7oC to 20oC?
fenix001 [56]
The heat absorbed is calculated using the following equation:
Q = mCΔT

Q = heat absorbed
m = mass = 66 g
C = specific heat of iron = 0.449 J/g.°C
ΔT = temperature change = 20 - 7 =13°C

Therefore,
Q = 66*0.449*13 = 385.242 J

Answer:

The questions are not complete so this is the complete questions

1. How much work W does the motor do on the platform during this process?

2. What is the angular velocity ωf of the platform at the end of this process?

3. What is the rotational kinetic energy, Ek, of the platform at the end of the process described above?

4. How long does it take for the motor to do the work done on the platform calculated in Part 1?

5. What is the average power delivered by the motor in the situation above?

6. . Note that the instantaneous power P delivered by the motor is directly proportional to ω, so P increases as the platform spins faster and faster. How does the instantaneous power P•f being delivered by the motor at the time t•f compare to the average power

P(average) calculated in Part e?

Explanation:

Given that,

The torque τ=25Nm

Moment of inertia I =50kgm²

The platform is initially at rest,

ω•i=0 rad/sec

Revolution the torque produce is 12

Then, θ=12 revolution

1 revolution=2πrad

So, θ=24πrad

1. Work done in a rotational motion is give as

W=τ•Δθ

Given that the τ=25Nm and the initial angular displacement is 0rad

The final angular displacement is 24πrad

Δθ =(θ2-θ1)

Δθ=24π-0

Δθ=24πrad

Then,

W=τ•Δθ

W=25(24π)

W=25×24π

W=1884.96J

To 4s.f, W=1885J

2. Final angular velocity ωf

Using the angular equation

ω•f²=ω•i²+2•α•Δθ

We need to get angular acceleration

The torque is given as

τ=I•α

Given that,

I is moment if inertia =50kgm²

τ=25Nm

α=τ/I

α= 25/50

α=0.5rad/s²

Now, using the angular acceleration

ω•f²=ω•i²+2•α•Δθ

ω•f²=0²+2×0.5×24π

ω•f²=0+75.398

ω•f²=75.398

ω•f=√75.398

ω•f=8.68 rad/sec.

3. We need to find rotational Kinetic energy and it is given as

K.E, = ½I•ω²

Given that, I=50kgm² and ω•f=8.68rad/sec

Then,

K.E, =½I•ω²

K.E, =½×50×8.68²

K.E, =1884.96J

To 4s.f,

K.E, =1885J

Which is the same as the work done by the motor.

4. Time taken to complete part 1,

Using the rotational equation

ω•f=ω•i+α•t

Since, ω•f=8.68 rad/sec and ω•i=0

And α=0.5rad/s²

Then,

ω•f=ω•i+α•t

8.68=0+0.5t

8.68=0.5t

Then, t=8.68/0.5

t=17.36secs

5. The average power of rotational motion is given as

P(average) =Workdone/timetaken

Since,

Work done =1884.96J

Time taken =17.36sec

P(average) =Workdone/timetaken

P(average)=1884.96/17.36

P(average)= 108.58Watts

To 4s.f

P(average)=108.6Watts

6. We need to find •, it is given as

• =τ•ωf

Given that, ω•f=8.68rad/sec, τ=25Nm

•=25×8.68

•=217Watts

Then, the ratio of • to P(average) is

Ratio = •/ P(average)

Ratio= 217/108.58

Ratio=1.9985

Then, the ratio is approximately 2

Ratio=2

A student climbs to the top of the gym and drops a baseball to the ground below. A physics student standing nearby has a motion
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The baseball was falling during 1.733 seconds.

Explanation:

The baseball experimented a free fall, which is a particular case of uniformly accelerated motion, in which object is accelerated by gravity. In this case, we need to determine the time spent by the ball before hitting the ground (t), measured in seconds, which is determined by the following kinematic formula:

t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{g} (1)

Where:

v_{o}, v - Initial and final speeds of the baseball, measured in meters per second.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 17\,\frac{m}{s} and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the time spent by the baseball is:

t = \frac{17\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}  }{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

t = 1.733\,s

The baseball was falling during 1.733 seconds.
