The correct answer is this one:

<span>the continents have moved in the past and are still moving.

The theory of continental drift says that the continents are moving away slowly, today and in the past. In the past this has caused South America and Africa to drift apart, and it is driving the Americas to the west today.

How does a vacuum flask keep drinks hot? Explain in terms of conduction, convection and radiation.
Flura [38]
Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.

a driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch, and then resumes driving for the next 2.0 h through a di
daser333 [38]

Answer:

v = 98.75 km/h

Explanation:

Given,

The distance driver travels towards the east, d₁ = 135 km

The time period of the travel, t₁ = 1.5 h

The halting time, tₓ = 46 minutes

The distance driver travels towards the east, d₂ = 215 km

The time period of the travel, t₁ = 2 h

The average speed of the vehicle before stopping

                                    v₁ = d₁/t₁

                                        = 135/1.5

                                       = 90 km/h

The average speed of vehicle after stopping

                                    v₂ = d₂/t₂

                                         = 215/2

                                        = 107.5 km/h

The total average velocity of the driver

                                      v = (v₁ +v₂) /2

                                         = (90 + 107.5)/2

                                         = 98.75 km/h

Hence, the average velocity of the driver, v = 98.75 km/h

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

658.16N

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 235kg

Force F= 760N

angle= 30 degrees

Required

The horizontal component of the force

Step two:

The horizontal component of the force

Fh= 760cos∅

Fh=760cos30

Fh=760*0.8660

Fh=658.16N

A train at a constant 60.0 km/h moves east for 40.0 min, then in a direction 50.0 degrees east of due north for 20.0 min, and th
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 7.57 km/h

Part b)

\theta = 67.5 degreeNorth of East

Explanation:

Speed of train towards East = 60 km/h

displacement towards East is given as

d_1 = 40 km

now it turns towards 50 degree East of North

so its distance is given as

d_2 = 20 km(sin50 \hat i + cos50\hat j)

d_2 = 15.3 \hat i + 12.8 \hat j

then finally it moves towards west for 50 min

d_3 = -50 \hat i

Now the total displacement of the train is given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = (40 + 15.3 - 50)\hat i + 12.8 \hat j

d = 5.3\hat i + 12.8 \hat j

now total time duration of the motion is given as

T = 40 min + 20 min + 50 min

T = 1.83 h

now average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{5.3\hat i + 12.8\hat j}{1.83}

v_{avg} = 2.89\hat i + 6.99\hat j

Part a)

magnitude of the average velocity is given as

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{2.89^2 + 6.99^2}

v = 7.57 km/h

Part b)

Direction of the velocity is given as

tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta = \frac{6.99}{2.89}

\theta = 67.5 degreeNorth of East
