Answer:

c. the movement of Earth’s lithosphere

Explanation:

  • The theory of the plate tectonics is a theory that states the role played by the plates or rigid slabs on the formation of the earth's crust i.e the terrestrial lithosphere or land sphere.
  • The plate tectonic theory got recognition in the year 1912 when ample of evidence was given evidences in support like the origin of the coals and gold reserves in the rocks near the coasts of Africa and south America
  • The S-shaped pattern of the Atlantic ocean is also signifying and suggests that landmass were once a supercontinent that drifted away in due course of time.

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1

(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>

Explanation:

a) Acceleration due to gravity

                      g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

 Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,

                G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

    Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

    Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m

Substituting,

                g=\frac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(6.957\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274.21m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²

b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²

   Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95

   Weight = mg

  Factor of increase in weight = 27.95
