a classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plates

Seafloor Spreading is how the plates move. It is a process in which new oceanic crust (ocean floor) is created from the hot magma that comes to the surface. The magma is cooled by the water. The new floor pushes outward and moves the old floor. This is the force that causes the plates to shift. Harry Hess came up with this theory. John Tuzo Wilson combined Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift and Harry Hess's theory of seafloor spreading to create a reasonable explanation for how the plates could have moved then created his own theory of plate tectonics.

When a charged particle moves along a helical path in a uniform magnetic field, which component determines the pitch of the path
Llana [10]

Answer:

the velocity component parallel to the magnetic field vector

Explanation:

When a charged particle moves in a helical path, we can decompose its velocity into two parts v_parallel and v_perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Let's analyze which component receives a force

            F = q vxB

the bold letters indicate vectors, in the vector product if the two vectors are parallel the angle is zero and the sin 0 = 0 for which there is no force. therefore the velocity parallel to the field remains constant

If the two vectors are perpendicular, the angle is 90º and the sin 90 = 1, for which there is a force, which has a radial direction and consequently a centripetal acceleration that gives a circular path that does not remove the particle from the magnetic field

When checking the different answers, the correct one is: the velocity component parallel to the magnetic field vector
