Oriw avauing1. How did Wegener become interested in the idea that continents could move?

1 answer:

7 0

Wegener thought that the continents were moving through the earth's crust, like icebreakers plowing through ice sheets, and that centrifugal and tidal forces were responsible for moving the continents.

On top of that, Wegener learned that related species, too small to swim the oceans, were found on different continents, as were similar fossils. ... The year after Wegener died, Arthur Holmes published his idea that thermal convection in the earth's mantle could cause continents to move.

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes

OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

$y(t) = 0$

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

$0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s$

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

$v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled is

$d=v_x t$

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

$d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km$

1) Do liquids and gases also exert pressure?

Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Liquids also exert pressure in all directions on the walls of the container they are stored in. We see water coming out from leaking pipes and taps. ... Gases (Air) also exert pressure in all directions

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball with a force of 1.8 N. If the mass of the ball is .43 kg. How fast will the ball accelerate?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is 4.18 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

By Newton's second law we can find the acceleration of the ball

$F = m*a\\where:\\F = force applied [N] or [kg*m/s^2]\\m = mass of the ball [kg]\\a = acceleration [m/s^s]$

Now we have:

$a = F/m\\a = \frac{1.8 [kg*m/s^s]}{0.43[kg]} \\a = 4.18 [kg]$

Describe how one plays Dr.Dogeball

JulsSmile [24]

•To play Dr. Dodgeball you need to have 2 teams to verse each other.
•Next, select one person from each team to be the doctor (depending on the size of the teams you can have varying amounts of doctors)
•Continue to play dodgeball how you normally would
•When a player gets hit and is “out” they have to sit on the ground and wait for the doctor to “revive them” (this usually requires the doctor dragging,touching, or moving the player that is out to a “revival place” which is usually decided on by the advisor or person in charge.
•Finally, try to get all the doctors and players out from the other team. Get the doctors first, for they cannot revive themselves. Which means the other players are out after they get hit with a ball since the doctors are out. (Some games are played where if all doctors are out the game ends)
Hope this helped! Play on! And plz mark brainliest lol this was long to write :D
