This is hard sorry but I need to anwser
The tension has to hold the part of the weight in the direction of the string:
T = mg*cos(theta)
Theta=0, whole weight, theta=90, T=0, if the pendulum is horizontal, the string will be loose! Yeah
In order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet, any object must have an escape velocity of 7 km/s or more, anything lower than that will be slowed down by the pull of gravity, and will eventually returned to the surface of our planet. It is independent of mass, any lighter or heavier object must attain the required escaped velocity to reach space.
Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.
Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)
