Answer:
Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.
It took so long because at the time there was no way for people to study the behavior formally. im not sure what helped it get recognized but i know wihelm wundt helped get it recongnized.
sorry i couldnt be much help
Answer:
8.91 J
Explanation:
mass, m = 8.20 kg
radius, r = 0.22 m
Moment of inertia of the shell, I = 2/3 mr^2
= 2/3 x 8.2 x 0.22 x 0.22 = 0.265 kgm^2
n = 6 revolutions
Angular displacement, θ = 6 x 2 x π = 37.68 rad
angular acceleration, α = 0.890 rad/s^2
initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s
Let the final angular velocity is ω.
Use third equation of motion
ω² = ωo² + 2αθ
ω² = 0 + 2 x 0.890 x 37.68
ω = 8.2 rad/s
Kinetic energy,
K = 0.5 x 0.265 x 8.2 x 8.2
K = 8.91 J
From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates
the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of
size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased
by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.
The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *
1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.
