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.[

Paul lifts a sack weighing 245 newtons vertically from the ground and places it on a platform at a height of 0.7 meters. If he t
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

B. 17.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that

Time = 10 seconds

height = distance = 0.7 meters

weight of sack = mg = F = 245 newtons

Power = work done/ time taken

Where work done = force × distance

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Work done = 245 newton × 0.7 meters

Work done = 171.5 J

Recall,

Power = work done/time

Power = 171.5 J ÷ 10

Power = 17.15 watts

Hence the power expended is B. 17.15 watts

A flywheel with a diameter of 1.42 m is rotating at an angular speed of 207 rev/min. (a) What is the angular speed of the flywhe
Archy [21]

Answer:

a. 21.68 rad/s b. 30.78 m/s c. 897 rev/min² d. 1085 revolutions

Explanation:

a. Its angular speed in radians per second  ω = angular speed in rev/min × 2π/60 = 207 rev/min × 2π/60 = 21.68 rad/s

b. The linear speed of a point on the flywheel is gotten from v = rω where r = radius of flywheel = 1.42 m

So, v = rω = 1.42 m × 21.68 rad/s = 30.78 m/s

c. Using α = (ω₁ - ω)/t where α = angular acceleration of flywheel, ω = initial angular speed of wheel in rev/min = 21.68 rad/s = 207 rev/min, ω₁ = final angular speed of wheel in rev/min = 1410 rev/min = 147.65 rad/s, t = time in minutes = 80.5/60 min = 1.342 min

α = (ω₁ - ω)/t

  = (1410 - 207)/(80.5/60)

  = 60(1410 - 207)/80.5

  = 60(1203)80.5

  = 896.65 rev/min² ≅ 897 rev/min²

d. Using θ = ωt + 1/2αt²

where θ = number of revolutions of flywheel. Substituting the values of the variables from above, ω = 207 rev/min, α = 896.65 rev/min² and  t = 80.5/60 min = 1.342 min

θ = ωt + 1/2αt²

  = 207 × 1.342 + 1/2 × 896.65 × 1.342²

  = 277.725 + 807.417

  = 1085.14 revolutions ≅ 1085 revolutions
