Answer:

B.moving magma in the mantle

Explanation:

The continents have moved over millions of years. This is due to global convection in the earth's mantle. Since new material continuously comes out of the mantle below the oceanic crust. Thus, a force is created that pushes the areas occupied by the continents, displacing them.

How would the period of a simple pendulum be affected if it were located on the moon instead of the earth?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

On moon time period will become 2.45 times of the time period on earth

Explanation:

Time period of simple pendulum is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} ....eqn 1 here l is length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity on earth

As when we go to moon, acceleration due to gravity on moon is \frac{1}{6} times os acceleration due to gravity on earth

So time period of pendulum on moon is equal to

T_{moon}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\frac{g}{6}}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{6l}{g}} --------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

\frac{T_{moon}}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{6l}{g}\times \frac{g}{l}}

T_{moon}=\sqrt{6}T=2.45T

So on moon time period will become 2.45 times of the time period on earth

The circumference of a bicycle wheel is 2 meters. if it rotates at 1 revolution per second then its linear speed is
tester [92]
Given:
Circumference = 2 m
Angular speed,  ω = 1 rev/s = 2π radians/s

If the radius is r, then
2πr = 2 
r = 1/π m

The linear (tangential) speed is
v = rω
   = (1/π m)*(2π rad/s) = 0.5 m/s

Answer: 0.5 m/s

How is the path of the water particles near the water's surface different from the path near the ocean floor
swat32

Answer: Cold Ocean Currents: It is the layer of the ocean water which moves due to the stress of blowing the wind and this motion is thus called as Ekman Transport. Deep Water Currents: They constitute about 90% of the ocean water. They move around the ocean basin due to variations in the density and gravity.
