I’m deciding between E or D.. because for E it’s saying it’s changing ocean currents, but I’m thinking does that mean the earths precipitation or their climate. Best go with E, hope this helps

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.

What force in Newton is required to accelerate a car starting from rest to 20 m/s in 15 seconds if the mass of the car is 2500 k

Lyrx [107]

We will solve this question using the second law of motion which states that force is directly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$\sf \: F=ma$

Where,

F is force
m is mass
a is acceleration

In our case,

F = ?
m = 2500 kg
a = 20m/s

$\tt \: F_{net} = 2500 \times 20 \\ \tt= 50000$

<em>Thus, The force of 50000 Newton is required to accelerate a car of 2500 kg...~</em>

Suppose a cup of coï¬ee is at 100 degrees Celsius at time t = 0, it is at 70 degrees at t = 10 minutes, and it is at 50 degrees

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

T ambient = 10 degrees

Explanation:

Using Newton's Law of Cooling:

T(t) = Tamb + (Ti - Tamb)*e^(-kt) ..... Eq 1

Ti = 100

We have two points to evaluate the above equation as follows:

T = 70 @ t = 10 using Eq 1

70 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-10k) ... Eq 2

T = 50 @ t = 20 using Eq 1

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-20k) ... Eq 3

Solving the above Eq 2 and Eq 3 simultaneously:

Using Eq 2:

(70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb) = e^(-10k)

Squaring both sides we get:

((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2 = e^(-20k) .... Eq 4

Substitute Eq 4 into Eq 3

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2

After simplification:

50 = (Tamb (100-Tamb) + (70-Tamb)^2) / (100 - Tamb)

5000 - 50*Tamb = 4900 - 40*Tamb

Tamb = 100 / 10 = 10 degrees
