<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>

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

A = 2 cm ,   λ = 8 cm

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,

We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is

          d = 7-5 = 2 cm

          d = 5-3 = 2 cm

          A = 2 cm

The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.

The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value

          Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm

          λ = 2 Δx

          λ = 8 cm

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

A. carbon and boron

Explanation:

Carbon and boron is not an alloy.

An allow forms between metals and metals using their huge electron could.

Carbon is a non-metal, boron is a also a non-metal

Two non-metals combining together does not make an alloy.

Iron, nickel, aluminum  are all metals.

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function
svp [43]

The period of the transverse wave from what we have here is 0.5

<h3>How to find the period of the transverse wave</h3>

The period of a wave can be defined as the time that it would take for the wave to complete one complete vibrational cycle.

The formula with which to get the period is

w = 4π

where w = 4 x 22/7

2π/T = 4π

6.2857/T = 12.57

From here we would have to cross multiply

6.2857 = 12.57T

divide through by 12.57

6.2857/12.57 = T

0.500 = T

Hence we can conclude that the value of T that can determine the period based on the question is 0.500.
