<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>

A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from t
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

The vibrations along a transverse wave move in a direction _________.
GrogVix [38]

Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

Newton's second law of motion can also be described as...
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer


B. F=ma



Explanation

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma

What is the automated system that uses an automated work cell controlled by electronic signals from a common centralized compute
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The automated system that uses an automated work cell controlled by electronic signals from a common centralized computer facility is "Robotics"

Explanation:

Robotics is an advanced technology fully automated which uses electronic sensors incorporated with the combination of control into mechanical systems greatly enhancing the performance and flexibility of the systems. This is possible with the advances in hardware, software, and control programming systems which amounts to extensive automation from a common centralized computer facility.
