I believe the evidence for this theory is that:

The orbits surrounding Jupiter are highly elliptical which are off the plane of the ecliptic, and many of these moons are retrograde. This is very unlikely for moons or satellites which are formed during the planetary accretion. Hence comes the theory.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

We know that the force pulling the box in the positive x direction has a magnitude of m g sin 30 . Using Newtons Second Law, F = ma , we just need to solve for a :

ma=mgsin30

a=gsin30

=(10m/s2)(0.500)

=5m/s2

Explain how a hydroelectric power plant converts energy stored in water into electricity
mart [117]
Hot water, as in very hot water, goes to steam with an enormous change in volume and pressure. This is capable of driving turbine blades, which in turn rotate enormous copper (eg) wired coils in enormous magnetic fields. This in turn produces electricity via electromagnetic induction and Fleming's right hand (I think it is) DYNAMO rule. That goes down miles and mile of v heavy conducting wire/cable as electricity.
