<span>The Appalachian Mountains were formed when colliding tectonic plates folded and upthrust, mainly during the Permian Period and again in the Cretaceous Period. The folds and thrusts were then eroded and carved by wind, streams and glaciers. These erosive processes are ongoing, and the topography of the Appalachian Mountains continue to change. They have changed with the miles of land that are cleared of all vegetation and topsoil. In the 1970's coal miners literally blow away the top of a mountain to get to the coal underneath.</span>

A sled with a mass of 20 kg slides along frictionless ice at 4.5 m/s. It then crosses a rough patch of snow that exerts a fricti
uysha [10]

Answer:The sled slides 16.875m before rest.

Explanation:

a=\frac{F}{m} =\frac{12N}{20kg}

a=0.6 m/s²

Vf=0=Vi-a.t

t=\frac{Vi}{a} =t=\frac{4.5m/s}{0.6 m/s2} =t=7.5seg

d= Vi.t - \frac{a.t^{2}}{2}

d= 4.5 * 7.5 - \frac{0.6*7.5^{2} }{2} \\\\d=16.875m

It would take almost 2 years for the fastest human-made spacecraft to travel from earth to europa. about how long would it take
worty [1.4K]
First, we need the distance of Europe and Wolf-359 from Earth.
- The distance of Europe from Earth is: d_E = 6.28 \cdot 10^8 km
- The distance of Wolf-359 from Earth is instead 7.795 light years. However, we need to convert this number into km. 1 light year is the distance covered by the light in 1 year. Keeping in mind that the speed of light is c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, and that in 1 year there are 
365 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 3.154 \cdot 10^7 s/y, the distance between Wolf-359 and Earth is
d_W = 7.995 ly\cdot3\cdot 10^8 m/s \cdot 3.154 \cdot 10^7 s=7.38 \cdot 10^{16}m=7.38 \cdot 10^{13}km

Now we can calculate the time the spaceship needs to go to Wolf-359, by writing a simple proportion. In fact, we know that the spaceship takes 2 years to cover d_E, so
2 y:d_E = x:d_W
from which we find x, the time needed to reach Wolf-359:
x= \frac{2 y\cdot d_W}{d_E}=2.35 \cdot 10^5 years

15. In Young’s double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, the interference pattern consists of a central _____.
levacccp [35]

Answer: In young's double slit experiment that uses monochromatic light the interference pattern formed has Central bright band with alternate dark and bright band That is option B.

Explanation: In this young experiment two small slits Namely a and b  are formed on the screen and a monochromatic light is focused on them. Wavelets come out of of this lets scintillating and overlapping each other. This we get from huyginns principal, thus forming alternate dark and bright bands with bright band at center and all bands are about one meter apart.
