The name of Alfred Wegener's hypothesis about "moving land masses" is Continental Drift. He believed there was once a supercontinent which he called Pangea, which means "all land".

Pangaea; the Greek word "pan" means "all" and Gaea or Gaia (or Ge) was the Greek name of the divine personification of the Earth.

Help me find the acceleration

ANEK [815]

a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the timeless suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the timeless suvat equation,

$a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}$

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the car;
$v$ is the final velocity of the car;
$u$ is the initial velocity of the car; and
$x$ is the displacement of the car.

Note that v and u are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

$a$ is the unknown;
$v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ ;
$u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ ; and
$x = - 105 \; \text{m}$ .

Apply the timeless suvat equation:

$a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ .

The value of $a$ is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.

â/8.37 points scalcet8 12.2.037. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used a block-and-tackle pulley hoist

AnnyKZ [126]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The hoist is in static equilibrium supported by tensions in the two ropes.

For horizontal force balance, obtain
T₃ cos 50 = T₂ cos 38
0.6428T₃ = 0.788T₂
T₃ = 1.2259T₂ (1)

For vertical force balance, obtain
T₂ sin 38 + T₃ sin 50 = 350
0.6157T₂ + 0.766T₃ = 350 (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
0.6157T₂ + 0.766(1.2259T₂) = 350
1.5547T₂ = 350
T₂ = 225.124 N
T₃ = 1.2259(225.124) = 275.979

Answer:
T₂ = 225.12 N
T₃ = 275.98 N

While spinning down from 500 rpm to rest, a flywheel does 3.9 kj of work. this flywheel is in the shape of a solid uniform disk

Ksivusya [100]

The answer is 4.0 kg since the flywheel comes to rest the kinetic energy of the wheel in motion is spent doing the work. Using the formula KE = (1/2) I w².

Given the following:

I = the moment of inertia about the axis passing through the center of the wheel; w = angular velocity ; for the solid disk as I = mr² / 2 so KE = (1/4) mr²w². Now initially, the wheel is spinning at 500 rpm so w = 500 * (2*pi / 60) rad / sec = 52.36 rad / sec.

The radius = 1.2 m and KE = 3900 J

3900 J = (1/4) m (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3900 J / (0.25) (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3.95151 ≈ 4.00 kg

If you wanted to increase your muscular endurance, it would be important to participate in activities that __________.

Maurinko [17]

In order to increase muscular endurance, it is important to take part in activities that increase the size of muscle cells and the amount of blood that is delivered to the cells. The increased size of the muscle cells reuires them to contract less to accomplish the same task; moreover, the increased blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the blood.

What what is the change in internal energy if 500 joule of heat is added to a system and 125 joule of work are done on a system

eduard

Answer:

DU = 375 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 500 Joules

Work done = 125 Joules

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.
Q is the quantity of energy.
W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 500 - 125

DU = 375 Joules
