<h2>Movement of Continents</h2>
Explanation:
- Alfred Wegener was a German astronomer who proposed the "continental drift" hypothesis in 1910.
- Alfred Wegener was not able to explain the movements of the continent in how and in which way they are moved.
- He failed in an attempt to explain with the use of tides made the theory undefinable fully.
- Also, the major problem with Wegener's theory of Continental Drift was that there was no proper explanation of a mechanism.

Question:
A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.
What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?
If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?
Given Information:
Mass = m = 0.5 kg
Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Normal force = Fn = 1 N
Required Information:
Potential energy = PE = ?
Work done = W = ?
Answer:
Potential energy = 0.343 Joules
Work done = 0.39 N.m
Explanation:
The potential energy is given by
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.
PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07
PE = 0.343 Joules
As you can see in the attached image
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinθ = 0.07/0.4
θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)
θ = 10.078°
The horizontal component of the normal force is given by
Fx = Fncos(θ)
Fx = 1*cos(10.078)
Fx = 0.984 N
Work done is given by
W = Fxd
where d is the horizontal distance
W = 0.984*0.4
W = 0.39 N.m
Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

Therefore,
