<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

Which explanations provide support for continental drift theory? Check all that apply.

Dinosaurs lived on many continents.

Coal fields match up across continents.

Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas.

Similar rock types are found across continents.

Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.

Coal fields match up across continents.

Similar rock types are found across continents.

Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas.

Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The way the continents on the earth shifts its position is explained by the Continental drift theory. Alfred Wegener was the one who fist proposed this theory in 1912. This theory also explains how similar rocks are formed on the different continents and also  the reason why some of the animal and plant fossils looks similar.

The evidences that supports the continental drift theory can be Coal fields match up across continents. Fossils of Glossopteris supports the  theory of continental drift with coal fields  and coastlines . The land features, climate changes are some of the evidences that also supports the theory of continental drift.The evidences of the glaciers that can be found in South Africa also supports the explanation of the continental drift.

Which is an action/reaction force pair? check all that apply.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. Together, these two forces exerted upon two different objects form the action-reaction force pair.

Which statement is true about effective nuclear charge?a. Effective nuclear charge decreases as we move to the right across a ro
MissTica

Answer:

Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table

Explanation:

The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.

The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.

Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.

  • As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.

Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.
Alika [10]
Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

Determina el tamaño de la arista de un cubo hecho de plata, cuya masa es de 10.49 kg.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

88.2 N

Explanation:

Datos

Lcubo = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Vcubo = Vfluido desalojado= 0.1 m x 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 10-3 m

mcubo = 10 kg

dfluido = 1000 kg/m3

g = 9.8 m/s2  

Sabemos que el peso aparente de un cuerpo que se sumerge en un fluido es:

Paparente=Preal−Pfluido

Teniendo en cuenta que:

Preal = mcubo⋅gPfluido=E= dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g

Como el cuerpo se sumerge completamente en el fluido, el volumen de fluido desalojado es exactamente el volumen del cubo. Por lo tanto si sustituimos los datos que nos proporcionan en el enunciado en la primera ecuación:

Paparente=mcubo⋅g−dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g ⇒Paparente=10 kg ⋅9.8 m/s2 − 1000 kg/m3 ⋅10−3 m ⋅9.8 m/s2 ⇒Paparente = 88.2 N
