You can use map and notice one thinh. If you flipp over the edges of continents and put them together, you will get a big single continent that is called pangaea. Practically it's impossible but it could be imagined.

Clues that are useful in reconstructing pangaea are the edges of the continents, glacial deposits, matching folded mountains, fossils found by scientist

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Pangea is a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Pangea assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it begin to break apart about 175 million years ago.

Clues that are useful in reconstructing pangaea are:

Fossils found by scientist: Fossils of the same plant and animal species on some of the continents that the oceans separate.
Matching folded mountains: If the continents were joined back, we can notice how the mountains match since they share, for example the same rocks sample
Glacial Deposits: Some places have glacial deposits but the temperatures are not cold to have glaciers.
Edge of Continents: The edges of the continents are useful in reconstructing Pangaea. Some continents such as South America and Africa fit each other if joined together like. Aside from the fitting of edges of the continents, the evidence presence are found in the same continents made the reconstruction easier.

A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 3.0 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.0 m/s in the opposi

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

Applying Newton's third second law of motion,

F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1

Where F = Magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time of contact of the ball and the wall.

Note: Let the direction of the initial velocity of the ball be positive

Given: m = 4 kg, u = 3.0 m/s, v = -4.0 m/s (bounce off), t = 0.1 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 4(-4-3)/0.1

F = 4(-7)/0.1

F = -28/0.1

F = -280 N.

Note: The negative sign tells that the force on the ball act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the ball

Earth’s largest ecosystems, biomes, are defined primarily by:

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: e. All of the above.

Explanation:

Rainfall, temperature, seasonal variability are the important factors which determines the type of vegetation will grow in a biome, the type of animals will adapt and survive. Also these factors also determine the fact that type of landforms will form over a region. These factors are necessary for the development of the biodiversity. A biodiversity can be define as the variability and variety of life forms that can be found in the ecosystem or biome.

A 0.10 g honeybee acquires a charge of +23 pC while flying.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) $\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N$

b) $E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1}$ parallel to the earth surface.

In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bee, $m=10^{-4}\ kg$

charge acquired by the bee, $q_2=23\times 10^{-12}\ C$

Electrical field near the earth surface, $E=100\ N.C^{-1}$

Now the electric force on the bee:

we know:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}$

$F=E.q_2$

$F=100\times 23\times 10^{-12}$

$F=23\times 10^{-10}\ N$

The weight of the bee:

$w=m.g$

$w=10^{-4}\times 9.8$

$w=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

Therefore the ratio :

$\frac{F}{w} =\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{9.8\times10^{-4}}$

$\frac{F}{w} =2.347\times 10^{-6}\ N$

The condition for the bee to hang is its weight must get balanced by the electric force acing equally in the opposite direction.

So,

$F=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

$E.q_2=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

$E\times 23\times 10^{-12}=9.8\times10^{-4}\ N$

$E=4.2609\times 10^7\ N.C^{-1}$ parallel to the earth surface.

In this case according to the Fleming's left hand rule the direction of movement of bee must be in a direction parallel to the earth surface and perpendicular to the electric field at the same time.
