What happened to change people’s views and lead them to believe in continental drift?

Physics

Andrej [43]3 years ago

Aside from Earth-quakes and volcanoes, a scientist noticed how all of the continents fit almost PERFECTLY together. And he used that as evidence to prove the theory of continental drift.

I hope this helps! :)

How many atoms are in 3MgCl2?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

3MgCl2 has 9 atoms.

Explanation:

The Element Magnesium (Mg) has 3 atoms.

The Element Chloride (Cl) has 6 attoms.

Their fore 6 + 3 is 9 of course. 3MgCl2 has 9 atoms.

BTW: 3MgCl2 is a molecular compound as well as H2O and CO2.

Two identical charges, 2 m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4 N on each other. The value of each charge is: 1. 9 × 105 C 2. 4.2
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two identical charges, d = 2 m

the force of repulsion between these two charges, F = 4N

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\but \ q_1 =q_2,then \ let \ q_1 =q_2 = q\\\\F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\q^2 = \frac{Fr^2}{k}\\\\q^2 = \frac{4*2^2}{9*10^9} \\\\q ^2 = 1.7778*10^{-9}\\\\q = \sqrt{1.7778*10^{-9}}\\\\q =4.22 *10^{-5} C\\\\q= q_1=q_2= 4.22 *10^{-5} C

Therefore, the value of each charge is 4.22 x 10⁻⁵ C

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

s = 0 + 0(15) + ½(6)(15²)

s = 675 m

Not sure what the free fall acceleration is needed for, but if the object is dropped from a high enough point, it will travel in 15 seconds

s = ½10(15²) = 2250 m  if air resistance is ignored

How does this relate to Newton's second law?
taurus [48]

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.

Match the definition with the correct term: resistance to flow.
alukav5142 [94]
(1) friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces , fluid layers and material elements sliding against each other.
(2) gravity is a science fiction .
(3) Resistance ::: is a property of a conductor by which the passage of current is opposed causing electric energy to be transformed into heat .
(4) viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid.
