Answer:

Explanation:

As per the concept of plate tectonics, The continents are like rock plates moving on the magma underneath it and magnetism is a part of it.

As we know Earth spin on its axis, this interaction of Earth's spin and magnetic material inside the Earth creates a magnetic field from North to South pole.

When hot material inside the Earth cool, it solidify and the magnetic material form crystals which align themselves along the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence by this way Earth's magnetic pole reversal provide evidence for plate tectonics.

A golfer is on the edge of a 12.5 m bluff overlooking the 18th hole which is located 60 m from the base of the bluff. She launch
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:

x=V_{o}cos \theta t----------------------(1)

y=y_{o}+V_{o} sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}---------(2)

V=V_{o}-gt ----------------------- (3)

Where:

x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball

V_{o} is the golf ball's initial velocity

\theta=0\° is the angle (it was  a horizontal shot)

t is the time

y is the final height of the ball

y_{o} is the initial height of the ball

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the final velocity of the ball

Step 1: finding t

Let use the equation(2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (12.5 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}

t=1.597s

Substituting (6) in (1):

67.1 =V_{o} cos(0\°) 1.597-------------------(4)

Step 2:  Finding V_{o}:

From equation(4)

67.1 =V_{o}(1) 1.597

V_0 = \frac{6.71}{1.597}

V_{o}=42.01 m/s (8)  

Substituting V_{o} in (3):

V=42.01 -(9.8)(1.597)

v =42 .01 - 15.3566  

V=26.359 m/s

Copernicus and other astronomers before him thought that celestial bodies followed a _____ orbital path.
murzikaleks [220]
The correct answer is circular. Copernicus and other astronomers before him thought that celestial bodies followed a circular orbital path. Copernicus was a Polish astronomer that concluded that the sun is at rest near the center of the universe and the earth is revolving around it annually. This theory is called heliocentric.

Why is polaris used as a celestial reference point?
ser-zykov [4K]

At the equator, the North Celestial and South Celestial Poles would lie on the horizon where the meridian intersects the horizon. Polaris is called the "North Star." ... Polaris is special because the Earth's North Pole points almost exactly towards it.
