Three examples of evidence that supports theory of plate tectonics

1 answer:

4 0

First of all when you take all countries you can reform them into one piece. This suggests that the world was one piece but split into many. Second i think its that when you look at the fossils in one country and look at the other part of a world you can find that they are from the same place. Also its not a theory really because it has been proven....

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 9

Number of electrons = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons

Charge = 8 - 10 = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

The ion is O²⁻

What was your electric potential relative to a metal pipe if a spark jumped 1.1 cm through dry air from your finger to the pipe?

romanna [79]

The electric field is given by volts/distance: $E= \frac{V}{d}$ . The breakdown voltage of dry air is about 3x10^6V/m. So solving for V we get
$V=Ed$
or $V=(3e6V/m)(0.011m)=33,000V$

You walk 20 m north then 30 m west for a total timer four minutes what is the magnitude of your average velocity in (m/s)

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The average velocity is 0.15 m/s

Explanation:

Use the definition of average velocity as the distance traveled divided the time it took.

Since the movement was on the plane from the origin (0, 0) to the point (-30, 20) corresponding to 30 m west and 20 m north, we calculate the distance using the distance between two points on the plane:

$distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} = \sqrt{(-30)^2+20^2} =\sqrt{1300} \approx 36.06\,\,m$

Then the magnitude of the average velocity can be estimated via the quotient between distance divided time, but since the units required are meters per second, we first convert the four minute time into seconds: 4 * 60 = 240 seconds.

Then the average velocity becomes:

$v_{ave}=\frac{distance}{time} =\frac{36.06}{240} =0.15\,\,m/s$

Which quantities define momentum?

grigory [225]

Answer:

A. How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction of its motion

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass by velocity, in the international system of measurements (SI) momentum has the following Units [kg*m/s].

P = m*v

where:

P = momentum Lineal [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Therefore the answer is A) How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction of its motion
