Answer:
Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.
The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.
Answer:
The spring force constant is
.
Explanation:
We are told the mass of the ball is
, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is
, the length the ball compresses the spring is
and the acceleration of gravity is
.
We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy
is equal to the final mechanical energy
:

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

If we manipulate the equation we have that:




Answer:
Mass, m = 125 kg
Explanation:
Let us assume that the question says, "What is the mass of an object whose velocity is 400 m/s and the kinetic energy of 10⁷ J.
The kinetic energy of an object is :

So, the mass of the object is 125 kg.
Answer:
223.25
Explanation:
The thermal conductivity of an object is defined as the measure or the ability of the object to transfer heat or conduct heat through its body.
In the context, the thermal conductivity of the material is given as

And it is given that :
1 Btu = 1055 J
1 ft = 0.3048 m

We know that 1 h = 3600 s
So the thermal conductivity of the material in
is :
Thermal conductivity :


= 223.25
