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! :)

Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.
 
So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.

An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis  

        Fy + N - W = 0

        Fy + N = W

X axis

       Fx - fr = 0

      Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

   The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small
