I'm very confused on this home work question How did magnetism 'drive' the theory of plate tectonics?

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.

. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 100.0-kg meteor approaching the Earth at a speed of 10.0 km/s. Remember that 1 km = 1000 m.

anastassius [24]

Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000

Ke = 500000 Joules

Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of

Firlakuza [10]

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh$

Where:

$v_{f}$ : is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height of 110 cm)

$v_{i}$ : is the initial speed =?

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 110 cm = 1.10 m

Hence, the <u>initial velocity</u> is:

$v_{i} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*1.10 m} = 4.65 m/s$

Therefore, the initial speed that the person must have to reach 110 cm is 4.65 m/s.

A car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s2 for 20.0 second along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hou

Whitepunk [10]

Total distance = 36500 m

The average velocity = 19.73 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

vo=initial velocity=0(from rest)

a=acceleration= 1 m/s²

t₁ = 20 s

t₂ = 0.5 hr = 1800 s

t₃= 30 s

Required

Total distance

Solution

State 1 : acceleration

$\tt d=vo.t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 20^2\rightarrow vo=0\\\\d=200~m$

$\tt vt=vo+at\\\\vt=at\rightarrow vo=0\\\\vt=1\times 20\\\\vt=20~m/s$

State 2 : constant speed

$\tt d=v\times t\\\\d=20\times 1800\\\\d=36000~m$

State 3 : deceleration

$\tt vt=vo+at\rightarrow vt=0(stop)\\\\vo=-at\\\\20=-a.30~s\\\\a=-\dfrac{2}{3}m/s^2(negative=deceleration)$

$\tt d=vot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=20.30-\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2}{3}.30^2\\\\d=300~m$

Total distance : state 1+ state 2+state 3

$\tt 200 + 36000 + 300=36500~m$

the average velocity = total distance : total time

$\tt avg~velocity=\dfrac{36500}{20~s+1800~s+30~s}=19.73~m/s$

Two pebbles, Pebble A and Pebble B, are thrown horizontally with the same force. Pebble A's mass is 3 times the

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Pebble A has 1/3 the acceleration as pebble B.

Explanation:

F = m×a

mass of a = 3 × mass of b (m_a = 3 × m_b)

Same starting force, F

m_a = mass of a

m_b = mass of b

a_a = acceleration of a

a_b = acceleration of b

F = m_a × a_a = m_b × a_b

3 × m_b × a_a = m_b × a_b

3 × a_a = a_b

a_a = a_b / 3
