SONAR, satellite radar, GPS, and deep-sea diving vessels all contribute
to accurate MEASUREMENT of the depth and motion of the sea floor, and
of the motion of the continents. 

Once the measurements are known, they can be analyzed to determine
whether OR NOT they support the idea of continental drift, or some other
hypothesis.

Real scientists don't go out looking for evidence to support the ideas
that they want supported.  That kind of approach to research is found
more in the Flat Earth department.

Which of the following best describes the human population from early times to the present?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

We have a not significant increase of the population until 1700s or 1800s and then a significant increase growth from these years to the present.

Explanation:

From the figure attached we see the evolution of the human population since early times (1050).

We see that from 1050 until 1750-1850 we have an increase slowly with a low value for the increase per year.

But after these years (1750-1850) we see a considerable increase of the population, like an exponential model.

So then we can conclude in general terms this:

We have a not significant increase of the population until 1700s or 1800s and then a significant increase growth from these years to the present.

When talking about the speeds of atoms in a gas you must refer to the average speed because
cluponka [151]

Answer:

An Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average.

Explanation:

In a gas a single atoms does an assortment of things during its time in the gas—sometimes it collides with an other atom gaining a lot of speed, sometimes losing a lot of speed in the collision, and sometimes just moving freely. Therefore: the motion of one individual atom is unpredictable, and it cannot be  representative of all the the atoms in a gas, which is why we must average over all speeds of all atoms to find an average speed that allows us to calculate other quantities like temperature and pressure of the gas.

Hence, the second option <em>"an Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average" </em>stands correct.

large amounts of energy are converted to small amounts of mass. small amounts of energy are converted to large amounts of mass.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

small amounts of mass are converted to large amounts of energy

Explanation:

According to the mass-energy equivalence, which Albert Einstein initially proposed as a general principle. It was revealed that mass and energy are connected and that a "small amount of mass can be converted into enormous amounts of energy."

Using the formula E=mc^2. This means Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.

Hence, it is true that "small amounts of mass are converted to large amounts of energy."

How high would a 75 kg hiker have to climb to increase her potention by 12000 J
LekaFEV [45]

16.33m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the hiker = 75kg

Potential energy = 12000J

Unknown:

Height = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy at rest of a body.

   Potential energy =  mgh

m is the mass of the hiker

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

  The unknown is the height;

          Height = \frac{Potential energy}{mg}

           Height = \frac{12000}{75 x 9.8} = 16.33m
