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

Physics

alina1380 [7]2 years ago
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.

When bacteria get caught in the mucus what actually kills them?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

New research reveals that glycans -- branched sugar molecules found in mucus -- can prevent bacteria from communicating with each other and forming infectious biofilms, effectively rendering the microbes harmless.

ELEN [110]
<span>a = (v2 - v1)/t= acceleration formula

a = (70 - 0)/7
a = 10 km/hr/sec
-----
It's better to use as few units as possible.
10 km/hr = 10 km*1000 m/km/(1 hr*3600 sec/hr) = 25/9 m/sec
a= 25/9 m/sec/se</span>

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2
