One peice of evidence is fossils.  If similar fossils are in different continents like one is in soutch america and he other is in africa then how would the dino bones be apart? they can't swim...

The other is climates and land forms. Palentologist have found tropical plant fossils in an island of the Arctic ocean where it is way to cold for plants to even grow... Plants can't telaport....

An object that is 3 times higher than another object of the same mass will
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: I feel that 3 is the answer

Explanation: Let there be 2 objects, A and B

A is at height of 5m whereas B is at height of 15m

so over here let the gravitational potential energy of A be x

and since B is 3 times higher than A B=3x

Since, earth is considered to be the point where gravitational potenial is 0

So hence forth and object 3 times up will have 3 times the gravitational potential energy of A

A(n) 60.3 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.7 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

271.862 N/m

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where

m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2

Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²

k = 0.6346696/0.0023345

k = 271.862 N/m

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

andp = \gamma\times mv

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.

A 20-kg child running at 1.4 m/s jumps onto a playground merry-go-round that has mass 180 kg and radius 1.6m. She is moving tang
Dominik [7]

Answer:

ωf = 0.16 rad/s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the child = mr² = 20(1.6²) = 51.2 kg•m²

Moment of Inertia of the MGR = ½mr² = ½(180)1.6² = 230.4 kg•m²

(ASSUMING it is a uniform disk)

Initial angular momentum of the child = Iω = I(v/r) = 51.2(1.4/1.6) = 44.8 kg•m²/s

Conservation of angular momentum

44.8 = (51.2 + 230.4)ωf

ωf = 0.15909090...
