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.[

ELEN [110]

Answer:

v = 719.2 m / s and     a = 83.33 m / s²

Explanation:

This is a rocket propulsion system where the system is made up of the rocket plus the ejected mass, where the final velocity is

           v - v₀ = v_{e} ln (M₀ / M)

where v₀ is the initial velocity, v_{e} the velocity of the gases with respect to the rocket and M₀ and M the initial and final masses of the rocket

In this case, if fuel burns at 75 kg / s, we can calculate the fuel burned for the 10 s

            m_fuel = 75 10

            m_fuel = 750 kg

As the rocket initially had a mass of 3000 kg including 1000 kg of fuel, there are still 250 kg, so the mass of the rocket minus the fuel burned is

              M = 3000 -750 = 2250 kg

let's calculate

            v - 0 = 2500 ln (3000/2250)

            v = 719.2 m / s

To calculate the acceleration, let's use the concept of the rocket thrust, which is the force of the gases on it. In the case of the rocket, it is

             Push = v_{e} dM / dt

let's calculate

             Push = 2500  75

             Push = 187500 N

            If we use Newton's second law

             F = m a

             a = F / m

let's calculate

              a = 187500/2250

              a = 83.33 m / s²

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Black Hole

Explanation:

A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.

Since it does not emit light, <u>we cannot see them directly</u>, hence the name of black hole.

So in this case,<u> if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole</u>, and <u>also cannot be seen</u>, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.

It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Final velocity (V) = 0

Time (t) =?

Initial velocity (U) =?

A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Let us obtain an express for time (t)

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)

a = V/t

Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)

V = s/t

a = s/t^2

Cross multiply

a x t^2 = s

Divide both side by a

t^2 = s/a

Take the square root of both side

t = √(s/a)

Now we can obtain the time as follow

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Time (t) =..?

t = √(s/a)

t = √(256/26)

t = 3.14 secs

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.

V = U + at

Final velocity (V) = 0

Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2

Time (t) = 3.14 sec

Initial velocity (U) =.?

0 = U – 26x3.14

0 = U – 81.64

Collect like terms

U = 81.64 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
