Explain Alfred wegener's hypothesis

1 answer:

8 0

He proposed the theory of Continental Drift. He believed that all of the continents were once joined together in a super continent he called Pangea (not sure if that's spelled right I studied this awhile ago). He proved this by showing similarities in fossils in completely different continents and showing how well the continents could fit together.

A 19 g bullet is fired into the bob of a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.3 kg. When the bob is at its maximum height, the strings m

katovenus [111]

Answer:

217.43298 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of bullet = 19 g

$m_2$ = Mass of bob = 1.3 kg

L = Length of pendulum = 2.3 m

$\theta$ = Angle of deflection = 60°

u = Velocity of bullet

Combined velocity of bullet and bob is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2aL(1-cos\theta)+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times (1-cos60)+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=3.13209\ m/s$

As the momentum is conserved

$m_1u=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{(m_1+m_2)v}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{(0.019+1.3)\times 3.13209}{0.019}\\\Rightarrow v=217.43298\ m/s$

The speed of the bullet is 217.43298 m/s

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed of the rocket is $v_i = 100 m/s$

The speed of the rocket engine sound is $V$

The final speed of the rocket is $v_f = 200 \ m/s$

The speed of the sound at $v_f$ would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

A clear example when lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

????????????????????????

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

"The principle is that the slope of the line on a position-time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. If the object is moving with a velocity of +4 m/s, then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s."
