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.

A ball is thrown into the air with 100 J of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Air resistance

Explanation:

Despite the law of conservation of energy stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one state to another, some energy is usually lost in the process of transformation and its majorly attributed to frictional loss. Friction opposes normal movement hence in air, air resistance tends to reduce the original energy compared to the initial. That is why the final energy in this case is slightly less than the original energy.

Helicopters rotor blades, could spin at high speed of 510 rpm. Find the angular displacement in radian for 3 hour(s) operation
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The angular displacement of the blade is 576,871.2 radians

Explanation:

Given;

angular speed of the Helicopters rotor blades, ω = 510 rpm (revolution per minute)

time of motion, t = 3 hours

The angular speed of the Helicopters rotor blades in radian per second is given as;

\omega = \frac{510 \ rev}{mins} *\frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} *\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}\\\\\omega =  53.414 \ rad/s

The angular displacement in radian is given as;

θ = ωt

where;

t is time in seconds

θ = (53.414)(3 x 60 x 60)\\

θ = 576,871.2 radians

Therefore, the angular displacement of the blade is 576,871.2 radians

Nookie1986 [14]
The recycling of glass, plastic, and metal would highly reduce the amount of the waste being sent to the local landfill. The large plastic container, fiberboards, etc, are removed by hand for this. This sorting makes it easy to recycle and reuse the plastic and fiber materials.

An oscillator creates periodic waves on a stretched string.
sattari [20]

Answer:

A. The wavelength doubles but the wave speed is unchanged

Explanation:

The relationship between the period and wavelength is direct. Doubling the period of the oscillator will correspondingly double the wavelength but the wave speed is unaffected
