When Alfred Wegener proposed the idea the continents could move, other scientists scoffed. ... Plate tectonics -- the concept the continents are rockplates moving on the magma underneath -- is now accepted.Magnetism is part of the evidence forplate tectonic theory.

If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim
Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.

A spider twirls a 25 mg fruit fly around in a circle with radius 17.6 cm at the end of a web. If the velocity of the fly is 110

Answer:

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N

Explanation:

Convert everything to proper units:

m = 25mg = 2.5x10^-5 kg

r = 17.6cm = 0.176m

v = 110cm/s = 1.1m/s

the formula for centripetal force is Fc = mv^2 / r

Plug everything and solve for Fc;

fc = (2.5x10^-5)(1.1^2) / 0.176

Fc =  1.7x10^-4 N
