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 :)

For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?

avanturin [10]

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is: The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

A horizontal wire is hung from the ceiling of a room by two massless strings. The wire has a length of 0.11 m and a mass of 0.01

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting horizontally will deflect the wire by angle φ from the vertical

Let T be the tension

T cosφ = mg

Tsinφ = Magnetic force

Tsinφ = BiL , where B is magnetic field , i is current and L is length of wire

Dividing

Tanφ = BiL / mg

= .055 x 29 x .11 / .010 x 9.8

= 1.79

φ = 61° .

Tension T = mg / cosφ

= .01 x 9.8 / cos61

= .2 N .

2. A 2000 kg car with speed 12.0 m/s hits a tree. The tree does not move or

krek1111 [17]

a) The work done by the tree is $-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$

b) The amount of force applied is 2880 N

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car. Therefore, we can write:

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

W is the work done on the car

m is the mass of the car

u is its initial speed

v is its final speed

For the car in this problem, we have:

m = 2000 kg

u = 12.0 m/s

v = 0 (since the car comes to a stop, after the crash)

Therefore, the work done by the tree on the car is:

$W=0-\frac{1}{2}(2000)(12.0)^2=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$

The work is negative because it is done in the direction opposite to the direction of motion of the car.

The work done by the tree on the car can also be rewritten as

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force applied on the car

d is the displacement of the car during the collision

In this situation, we have:

$W=-1.44\cdot 10^5 J$ is the work done

$d=50.0 cm = 0.50 m$ is the displacement of the car during the collision

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted by the tree on the car:

$F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{-1.44\cdot 10^5 J}{0.50}=-2880 N$

Where the negative sign means the force is applied opposite to the direction of motion of the car. Therefore, the magnitude of the force applied is 2880 N.

When we go up From the earth surface.what happens about the atmospheric pressure

topjm [15]

Answer:

There are two reasons why air pressure decreases as altitude increases: density and depth of the atmosphere. Most gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled close to Earth's surface by gravity, so gas particles are denser near the surface.
