Answer:

Continental Drift

Explanation:

Continental drift is the name of the theory that led to the development of theory of plate tectonics. Theory of plate tectonics is basically latest version of Continental drift, a theory which was initially put forward by scientist “Alfred Wegener” in year 1912. But he was unable to to explain the phenomenon of movement of continents around the planet.

Plate tectonics unified all the geologic descriptions & it proposed that one ought to explain all geologic explanations as though driven by the relative motion of these tectonic plates.

Answer:

continental drift

Explanation:

Continental drift is the theory that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other, thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed.[

Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slid
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A)

the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B)

data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of load m_{LS} = 10000 kg

mass of flat bed m_{FB} = 20000 kg

initial speed of truck v_{0} = 12 m/s

coefficient of friction between the load sits and flat bed μs = 0.5

A) the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.

Now, using the expression

Fs,max = μs F_{N}     -------------let this be equation 1

where F_{N} = normal force = mg

so

Fs,max = μs mg

ma_{max} = μs mg

divide through by mass

a_{max} = μs g    ---------- let this be equation 2

in equation 2, we substitute in our values

a_{max} = 0.5 × 9.8 m/s²

a_{max} = 4.9 m/s²

now, from the third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

v_{f}² = v_{0}² + 2aΔx

where v_{f} is final velocity ( 0 m/s )

a is acceleration( - 4.9 m/s² )

so we substitute

(0)² = (12 m/s)² + 2(- 4.9 m/s² )Δx

0 = 144 m²/s² - 9.8 m/s²Δx

9.8 m/s²Δx = 144 m²/s²

Δx = 144 m²/s² /  9.8 m/s²

Δx = 14 m

Therefore, the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B) data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

a ball kicked with a velocity of 8m/s at an angle of 30 degree to horizontal. calculate the time of flight of the ball. (g=10ms^
posledela

Answer:

Approximately 0.8\; \rm s (assuming that air resistance is negligible.)

Explanation:

Let v_0 denote the initial velocity of this ball. Let \theta denote the angle of elevation of that velocity.

The initial velocity of this ball could be decomposed into two parts:

  • Initial vertical velocity: v_0(\text{vertical}) = v_0 \cdot \sin(\theta).
  • Initial horizontal velocity: v_0(\text{vertical}) = v_0 \cdot \cos(\theta).

If air resistance on this ball is negligible, v_0(\text{vertical}) alone would be sufficient for finding the time of flight of this ball.

Calculate v_0(\text{vertical}) given that v_0 = 8 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} and \theta = 30^\circ:

\begin{aligned}& v_0(\text{vertical}) \\ &= v_0 \cdot \sin(\theta) \\ &= \left(8 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \right) \cdot \sin\left(30^{\circ}\right) \\ &= 4\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} \end{aligned}.

Assume that air resistance on this ball is zero. Right before the ball hits the ground, the vertical velocity of this ball would be exactly the opposite of the value when the ball was launched.

Since v_0(\text{vertical}) = 4\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}, the vertical velocity of this ball right before landing would be v_1(\text{vertical}) = -4\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Calculate the change to the vertical velocity of this ball:

\begin{aligned}& \Delta v(\text{vertical}) \\ & = v_1(\text{vertical}) - v_0(\text{vertical}) \\ &= -8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the vertical velocity of this ball should have change by 8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} during the entire flight (from the launch to the landing.)

The question states that the gravitational field strength on this ball is g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. In other words, the (vertical) downward gravitational pull on this ball could change the vertical velocity of the ball by 10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1} each second. What fraction of a second would it take to change the vertical velocity of this ball by 8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}?

\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{\Delta v(\text{initial})}{g} \\ &= \frac{8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 0.8\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

In other words, it would take 0.8\; \rm s to change the velocity of this ball from the initial velocity at launch to the final velocity at landing. Therefore, the time of the flight of this ball would be 0.8\; \rm s\!.
