Scientist use fossils because they put them in one area but find them halfway across the world meaning there use to be animals moving around and couldn't have swam across the sea so it shows everything was once together, Pangaea, and animals moved across the land before it split.

When the continental drift occured, it moved all the land on earth around, therefore changing climates. If fossils of animals are found on a certain continent that doesn't support that species, it proves the drift happened because the climate used to be suitable for them, but now is not.

aksik [14]

In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.

Atoms that have become negatively charged by gaining extra electrons are called _____. anions anodes cations cathodes

nikklg [1K]

Anions: negatively charged atoms

Cations: positively charged atoms (CAT-ions are PAWS-itively charged)
Anode: positively charged electrode that allows electrical current flow (positive end of battery)
Cathode: negatively charged electrode that allows electrical current flow (negative end of batter)

If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 4.80 m/s2 or travel faster than 19.8 m/s , what is the minimum

Rudik [331]

Answer:

23.0 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 19.8 m/s

a = 4.80 m/s²

Find: Δx and t

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(19.8 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (4.80 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 40.84 m

v = at + v₀

19.8 m/s = (4.80 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4.125 s

The elevator takes 40.84 m and 4.125 s to accelerate, and therefore also 40.84 m and 4.125 s to decelerate.

That leaves 291.3 m to travel at top speed. The time it takes is:

291.3 m / (19.8 m/s) = 14.71 s

The total time is 4.125 s + 14.71 s + 4.125 s = 23.0 s.

Starting fom rest, a car accelerates at a constant rate, reaching 88 km/h in 12 s. (a) What is its acceleration? (b) How far doe

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

(A) $a=2.0.37m/sec^2$

(B) s = 146.664 m

Explanation:

We have given car starts from the rest so initial velocity u = 0 m /sec

Final velocity v = 88 km/hr

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

And 1 hour = 3600 sec

So $88km/hr=88\times \frac{1000}{3600}=24.444m/sec$

Time is given t = 12 sec

(A) From first equation of motion v = u+at

So $24.444=0+a\times 12$

$a=2.0.37m/sec^2$

So acceleration of the car will be $a=2.0.37m/sec^2$

(b) From third equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$

So $24.444^2=0^2+2\times 2.037\times s$

s = 146.664 m

Distance traveled by the car in this interval will be 146.664 m
