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.

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r = m x g x μ

v^2 / r = g x μ .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r = g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

A thin taut string is fixed at both ends and stretched along the horizontal x-axis with its left end at x = 0. It is vibrating i

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) Wavelength is 0.436 m

(b) Length is 0.872 m

Solution:

As per the question:

The eqn of the displacement is given by:

$y(x, t) = (1.22 cm)sin[14.4 m^{- 1}x]cos[(166\ rad/s)t]$ (1)

n = 4

Now,

We know the standard eqn is given by:

$y = AsinKxcos\omega t$ (2)

Now, on comparing eqn (1) and (2):

A = 1.22 cm

K = $14.4 m^{- 1}$

$\omega = 166\ rad/s$

where

A = Amplitude

K = Propagation constant

$\omega$ = angular velocity

Now, to calculate the string's wavelength,

(a) $K = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

where

K = propagation vector

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{K}$

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{14.4} = 0.436\ m$

(b) The length of the string is given by:

$l = \frac{n\lambda}{2}$

$l = \frac{4\times 0.436}{2} = 0.872\ m$

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \frac{2\pi}{166} = 26.42\ Hz$

Now,

Speed of the wave is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

$v = 26.419\times 0.436 = 11.518\ m/s$

This graph describes the motion of a sky diver that jumped from an airplane. The skydiver is MOST LIKELY ?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

A) being influenced by equal amounts of gravity and air resistance.

Explanation:

B) slowing down because of an unbalanced force of air resistance.

False - if it was slowing down, then the velocity would go down.

D) on the ground and is not falling anymore.

False - This would be mistaken as the answer but it is not because if the person is not falling anymore the horizontal line should be at the x-axis, meaning that there is no more velocity.

C) accelerating because of an unbalanced force of gravity.

False - The line would otherwise be going up or down.
