Explain Alfred wegener's hypothesis

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 car speeds up from 18.54 m/s to<br> 29.52 m/s in 13.84 s.<br> The acceleration of the car is:

valkas [14]

Answer:

.7934 $m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time

A = 10.98 $m/s$ / 13.84 $s$

A = .7934 $m/s^{2}$

A 0.40 kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillated with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. Wha

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

$x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)$

Where:

$x(t)$ - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

$A$ - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

$\omega$ - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\phi$ - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

$a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)$

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by $\omega^{2}\cdot A$ .

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If $k = 12\,\frac{N}{m}$ and $m = 0.40\,kg$ , the natural frequency is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }$

$\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

$a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)$

$a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}$

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$R=803k\Omega$

Explanation:

We have the following information,

$V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s$

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

$V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}$

Replacing values,

$R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}$

$R=803k\Omega$

A liquid has a volume of 100 cm and a mass of 85g.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. Its density is lower than that of water

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

density of the liquid = 85 / 100 = 0.85 g/cm^3

now,

density of water is 1 g/cm^3 which is greater than the density of the given liquid ( 0.85 g/cm^3 )
