The type of evidence which supports this theory is C. volcanoes and igneous rocks found on the ocean floor.
Normally, these types of ruptures and stones don't appear in water, however, after being submerged in oceans for such a long time, today it is a normal occurrence.

A 5.00 g object moving to the right at 20.0 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 10.0 g object that is initially at re
marusya05 [52]

Answer: a) 6.67cm/s b) 1/2

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision. Since the second body was initially at rest this means the initial velocity of the body is "zero".

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities respectively

m1 = 5.0g m2 = 10.0g u1 = 20.0cm/s u2 = 0cm/s

Since momentum = mass × velocity

The conservation of momentum of the body will be

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Note that the body will move with a common velocity (v) after collision which will serve as the velocity of each object after collision.

5(20) + 10(0) = (5+10)v

100 + 0 = 15v

v = 100/15

v = 6.67cm/s

Therefore the velocity of each object after the collision is 6.67cm/s

b) kinectic energy of the 10.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×10×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

kinectic energy of the 5.0g object will be 1/2MV²

= 1/2×5×6.67²

= 222.44Joules

= 111.22Joules

Fraction of the initial kinetic transferred to the 10g object will be

111.22/222.44

= 1/2

Which feature of the sun appears in cycles of about 11 years?
goldfiish [28.3K]
The Sun's magnetic field goes through a cycle, called the solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field completely flips. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again.

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>​
Lilit [14]
A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).

<span>9.50x10^2 newtons A pascal is defined as 1 newton per square meter. So let's multiply the pressure by the surface area of the box lid. F = 1.00x10^-2 m^2 * 9.50x10^4 N/m^2 = 9.50x10^2 N So it will take 9.50x10^2 newtons of force to remove the lid from the box.</span>

Which statement correctly describes why a compound is a pure substance?
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.
