Why is pangaea important?

Pangaea is important because it was all the continents in one giant land mass surrounded by water. When the plates shifted and broke apart we got the seven continents we know today. <span />

A light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 34.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a

sleet_krkn [62]

When the spring is extended by 44.5 cm - 34.0 cm = 10.5 cm = 0.105 m, it exerts a restoring force with magnitude R such that the net force on the mass is

∑ F = R - mg = 0

where mg = weight of the mass = (7.00 kg) g = 68.6 N.

It follows that R = 68.6 N, and by Hooke's law, the spring constant is k such that

k (0.105 m) = 68.6 N ⇒ k = (68.6 N) / (0.105 m) ≈ 653 N/m

The current in a coil with a self-inductance of 1 mH is 2.8 A at t = 0, when the coil is shorted through a resistor. The total r

pogonyaev

Given:

L = 1 mH = $1\times 10^{-3}$ H

total Resistance, R = 11 $\Omega$

current at t = 0 s,

$I_{o}$ = 2.8 A

Formula used:

$I = I_{o}\times e^-{\frac{R}{L}t}$

Solution:

Using the given formula:

current after t = 0.5 ms = $0.5\times 10^{-3} s$

for the inductive circuit:

$I = 2.8\times e^-{\frac{11}{1\times 10^{-3}}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}$

$I = 2.8\times e^-5.5$

I =0.011 A

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is

Kazeer [188]

The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
$F=qE$
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
$E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C$

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.
