Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?

Physics
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 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! :)

How fast would you be going (in kmh) if you had a ship that accelerated at a constant 1g for 24 hours?
Nady [450]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 g is 9.8 m/s^2 the problem wants the results in km/h so we'll fix that really quick.

9.8 m/s^2 (1 km/1000m)(60 sec/1 min)^2(60 min/1 hour)^2 = 127008 km/hour^2

Now, I'm assuming the ship is starting from rest, and hopefully you know your physics equations.  We are going to use vf = vi + at.  Everything is just given, or we can assume, so I'll just solve.

vf = vi + at

vf = 0 + 127008 km/hour^2 * 24 hours

vf = 3,048,192 km/hour

If there's anything that doesn't make sense let me know.
