Why don't the present shapes of the continents fit perfectly into the supercontinent?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The reason why the shapes of the continents as of today do not perfectly fi into to super continent because long time ago the super continent was scattered into pieces. And as times go by, those smaller parts of super continents undergo soil erosion caused by the water and other way that causes their original shapes change.
Thus, if we are going to judge now if those smaller part of super continent, they’re no longer gonna fit perfectly because through time their original form changed</span>

Suppose the block is released from rest with the spring compressed 5.00 cm. The mass of the block is 1.70 kg and the force const

IRISSAK [1]

First, let's calculate the total mechanical energy when the block is at rest and the spring is compressed 5 cm:

$\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ ME=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ ME=\frac{955\cdot0.05^2}{2}+0\\ \\ ME=1.194\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Now, let's use this total energy to calculate the velocity when the spring is compressed by 2.5 cm:

$\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ 1.194=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ 2.388=955\cdot0.025^2+1.7v^2\\ \\ 1.7v^2=2.388-0.597\\ \\ 1.7v^2=1.791\\ \\ v^2=\frac{1.791}{1.7}\\ \\ v^2=1.0535\\ \\ v=1.026\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Therefore the speed is 1.026 m/s.

How does a mirage occur in a deser?explain with a labelled diagram.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.

When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.
