What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?

Physics
1 answer:
PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.

xeze [42]

Answer: You do not specify what is being asked for. ∆E? ∆H?

∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

∆H = 430 J

Explanation:

If asked for the value of ∆H the answer is simply the change in heat, and in the question, it states introduction of 430 J of heat is causing the system to expand.

Therefore ∆H = 430 J

If asked for ∆E, we know that ∆E = ±q (heat) + work (-P∆V) = ±q + w

The question states that 238 J of work are done AND the system expanded

(work is negative because expansion means work is done BY the system, releasing energy/heat... Conversely, if the system were compressed, work is done ON the system, absorbing heat/energy)

Therefore, ∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

Suppose an event is measured to be at a = (0,-2, 3, 5) in one reference frame. Find the components of this event in another refe
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The components of the moving frame is (8.07c, -2, 3, 9.493)

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of moving frame w.r.t original frame v_{m} 0.85c

Point 'a' of an event in one reference frame corresponds to the (x, y, z, t) coordinates of the plane

a = (0, - 2, 3, 5)

Now, according the the question, the coordinates of moving frame, say (X, Y, Z, t'):

New coordinates are given by:

X = \frac{x - v_{m}t}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

X = \frac{0 - 0.85c\times 5}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.85c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

X = 8.07 c

Now,

Y = y = - 2

Z = z = 3

Now,

t' = \frac{t - \frac{vx}{c}^{2}}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^{2}}}

t' = \frac{5 - 0}{\sqrt{1 - (\frac{0.85c}{c})^{2}}} = 9.493 s

How is amplitude related to loudness
expeople1 [14]
The loudness<span> of a sound is linked to the size of the vibration which produces it. A big vibration makes a louder sound. Scientists use the word '</span>amplitude<span>' for the size of waves. For waves on water, it is easy to measure the </span>amplitude<span>.</span>
