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.

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th
madam [21]

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same

A bike traveling initially at a speed of 32 m/s accelerates
Vika [28.1K]

<u>We are given:</u>

Initial velocity (u) = 32 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Displacement (s) = 40 m

Final Velocity (v) = v m/s

<u>Solving for the Final Velocity:</u>

from the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

<em>replacing the variables</em>

v² - (32)² = 2(3)(40)

v² = 240 + 1024

v² = 1264

v = √1264

v = 35.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bike after travelling 40 m is 35.5 m/s

Velocity of an object of mass 5 kg increases from 3 m/s to 7 m/s on applying a force continuously for 2 s. Find out the force ap
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Force=10N

Velocity=13m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass = 5kg

initial velocity=3m/s

Final velocity=7m/s

Time=2s

Now acceleration= v-u/t

=7-3/2

=4/2

=2m/s²

So, acceleration=2m/s²

Now,

F=ma

=5*2

=10N
