Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?

MariettaO [177]

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! :)

A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 19.5 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 44.8 m/s in

Arada [10]

Answer:

5295.3 N

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force

mv + P = mV

P = mV - mv = m(V - v)

Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative

P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s

Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is

F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N

Consider the nearly circular orbit of Earth around the Sun as seen by a distant observer standing in the plane of the orbit. Wha

ikadub [295]

We have that the spring constant is mathematically given as

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

Generally, the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

$\omega=\sqrt{k}{m}$

Where

k=spring constant

And

$\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Therefore

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{k}{n}$

Hence giving spring constant k

$k=m((\frac{2 \pi}{T})^2$

Generally

Mass of earth $m=5.97*10^{24}$

Period for on complete resolution of Earth around the Sun

$T=365 days$

$T=365*24*3600$

Therefore

$k=(5.97*10^{24})((\frac{2 \pi}{365*24*3600})^2$

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

In conclusion

The effective spring constant of this simple harmonic motion is

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

it is determined that a certain light wave has a wavelength of 3.012x10^-12 m. the light travels at 2.99x10^8 m/s. what is the f

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$9.93\times 10^{19}Hz$

Explanation:

Speed of light is the product of its wavelength and frequency, expressed as

S=fw

Where s represent speed, f is frequency while w is wavelength

Making f the subject of the formula then

f=s/w

Substituting 2.99x10^8 m/s for s and 3.012x10^-12 m for w then

$f=\frac {2.99\times 10^{8}}{3.012\times 10^{-12}}=9.926958831341\times 10^{19}\\f\approx 9.93\times 10^{19}Hz$

Therefore, the frequency equals to $9.93\times 10^{19}Hz$

Help with the two questions above? Correct answers?

LenKa [72]

(6) first choice: the frequency appears higher and wavelength is shorter.

The car approaches a stationary observer and so the sound will appear to have shorter wavelength. This creates an effect of its siren to sound with higher frequency than it would do if both were stationary.

(7) The Doppler formula for frequency in the case of a stationary observer and source approaching it is as follows:

$f_O = \frac{v}{v-v_s}\cdot f= \frac{343\frac{m}{s}}{(343-25)\frac{m}{s}}\cdot 400Hz \approx 431Hz$

The wavelength is then

$\lambda = \frac{343\frac{m}{s}}{431Hz}\approx 0.80 m$

The third choice "0.80m; 431Hz" is correct
