Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.
Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)
Answer:
F = 12.5N
Explanation:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
F = ma
F = (2.5kg) x (5m/s^2)
F = 12.5N
Work done = Force x Distance
Force = 10 lb = 44.5 N
Work Done = 44.5 N x 15 m
= 667.5 N-m
When designing tires for a car, an engineer must consider the materials that will be used to fabricate the tires ... both the suitability of the materials for the purpose, and their cost.
For example, the engineer should not design car tires to be made of glass or of silk, since these would not hold up well when driving on concrete roads, and they would need to be replaced too often.
For another example, he should not design car tires to be made of gold or polished diamond, since these would be beyond the price range of most car owners, and also, these tires would be very susceptible to being stolen by nefarious and dishonest individuals in the middle of the night.

I hope this answer is helpful. The question you posted is a very difficult one, because there are no answer choices listed, and also because the question has the mysterious unknown term "the following" in it.
Answer:
Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line
Explanation:
The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:
"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"
This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.
In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.
