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.[

What is mean by the net displacement in transverse wave
natta225 [31]
In a transverse wave, the particles are disturbed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Thus, waves travel through a medium with no net displacement of the distance between two successive particles of wave that are in wavelength.

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour                    

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is   = 102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}

Speed of first plane  = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, r^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295

r = 741.6959 m

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton
