MariettaO [177]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.

Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)

A 7.0kg object rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the magnitude of the horizontal
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

16.1 N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma.............................. Equation 1

Where F = horizontal force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration .

Given: m = 7.0 kg, a = 2.3 m/s²

Substitute this values into equation 1

F = (7.0×2.3)

F = 16.1 N.

Hence the magnitude of the horizontal force is 16.1 N

drek231 [11]

Answer:

3120J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

C  = Specific heat capacity  = 0.8J/g°C

Initial temperature  = 20°C

Mass given   = 5g

Final temperature  = 800°C

Unknown:

Energy given to the mass  = ?

Solution:

To find the energy given to the mass, let us simply use the expression below:

          H   =   m   c   ΔT

H is the unknown, the energy supplied

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

Input the variables;

            H    = 5  x   0.8    x    (800 - 20)  = 3120J
