Alfred Wegener believed that all of the continents were originally attached! By looking at the map, you can see that Africa and South America look like they were once joined. This 'super continent' was known as Pangaea. He also found fossils that proved his point.
Hope this helps :)

A protostar's radius decreases by a factor of 100 and its surface temperature increases by a factor of two before it becomes a m

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4$

$L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4$

$L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4$

$L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i$

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula of luminosity in terms of the radius and the temperature given by:

$L_i = K r^2 T^4$

Where L_i = initial luminosity, r= radius and T = temperature.

We know that we decrease the radius by a factor of 100 and the temperature increases by a factor of 2 so then the new luminosity would be:

$L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4$

$L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4$

$L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4$

$L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i$

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

What are the 3 Laws of Newtonian Mechanics

Katyanochek1 [597]

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction

Which type of force is the weakest?

laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is stronger than any of the given intermolecular forces, but is itself NOT an intermolecular force. Ionic bonds are a permanent chemical connection between two atoms, whereas intermolecular forces as a more transient and temporary attraction between independent molecules

The metallic bond is somewhat weaker than the ionic and covalent bond. Ionic bonds are strong electrostatic attraction forces formed between positive and negative ions. This bond is non-directional, meaning that the pull of the electrons does not favor one atom over another.

Ion-dipole forces are the strongest of the intermolecular forces. ... However, hydrogen bonds are still not as strong as ion-dipole interactions. In order from strongest to weakest, the intermolecular forces given in the answer choices are: ion-dipole, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, and Van der Waals forces.

Van der Waals forces are driven by induced electrical interactions between two or more atoms or molecules that are very close to each other. Van der Waals interaction is the weakest of all intermolecular attractions between molecules
