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.

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters

12).  A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! );     B).  17.5 meters

How do you find the water pressure at the bottom of the 55-m-high water tower?
svp [43]
-- What's the volume of a cylinder with radius=1m and height=55m ?

         ( Volume of a cylinder = π R² h )

-- How much does that volume of water weigh ?

            1 liter of water = 1 kilogram of mass
            Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) 

-- What's the area of the bottom of that 1m-radius cylinder ?

       Pressure  =  (force) / (area)

if the current in a wire is 2.0 amperes and the potential difference across the wire is 10 volts what is the resistance of the w
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

R = 2Ω

Explanation:

Potential difference (V) = current (I) * Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = 2.0A

V = 10v

R = ?

V = IR

R = V / I

R = 10 / 2

R = 2Ω

The resistance across the wire is 2Ω

tangare [24]

Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
