which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.

I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

Answer:

a) Q = 397.57 pC , Q = 3.18 104 pC , b) C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F , V = 3.4375 V ,

c) U = 54.7 nJ , d) ΔU = 54 nJ,

Explanation:

a) The capacity of a capacitor is defined

C = Q / V

Q = C V

can also be calculated using geometry consideration

C = e or A / d

we reduce to the SI system

A = 25.0 cm² (1 m / 10² cm) 2 = 25.0 10⁻⁴ m²

d = 1.53 cm = 1.53 10⁻² m

we substitute

Q = eo A / d V

Q = 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275

Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C

let's reduce to pC

Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C (10¹² pC / 1 C)

Q = 397.57 pC

when the capacitor is introduced into the water the dielectric constant is different

Q = k Q₀

Q = 80 397.57

Q = 3.18 104 pC

b) Find capacitance and voltage after submerged in water

C = k C₀

C = 80 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²

C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F

V = Vo / k

V = 275/80

V = 3.4375 V

c) The stored energy is

U = ½ C V²

U = ½, 85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275²

U = 5.47 10⁻⁸ J

let's reduce to nJ

109 nJ = 1 J

U = 54.7 nJ

d) energy after submerging

U = ½ (kCo) (Vo / k) 2

U = ½ Co Vo2 / k

U = U₀ / k

U = 54.7 / 80 nJ

U = 0.68375 nJ

the energy change is

ΔU = U₀ -U

ΔU = 54.7 - 0.687375

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

In chemical compounds, atoms tends to have the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Explanation:

The noble gases are unreactive because of their electron configurations. This noble gas neon has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p6 . It has a full outer shell and cannot incorporate any more electrons into the valence shell.

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons and thus the electron configuration of a noble gas. An exception to an octet of electrons is in the case of the first noble gas, helium, which only has two valence electrons.

Len [333]

Answer:

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 20 km/h

Departure time = 7:00

Arrival time = 7:20

Time taken = 20 minutes

To calculate the distance travelled from home to school;

First of all, we would have to convert the value of time in minutes to hours.

Conversion:

60 minutes = 1 hour

20 minutes = X hours

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Mathematically, the distance travelled by an object is calculated by using the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 20 * 1/3

Distance = 20/3 =

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

Serjik [45]

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
$W=-\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so $x_i=0$ . Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until $x_f$ is
$W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
