<span><em>Continental drift</em> is one of the earliest ways that geologists thought <em>continents</em><span> moved over time. It is believed in this theory that the Earth’s movement of the continents are relative to each other.  This idea was subsumed by the plate tectonics theory. Now, what is the speed of the continental drift?</span></span>  

Continental drift speed is 1x 10^-9 m/s.
This is equivalent to a speed of:
 1 x 10 ^-9 m/s
  = 1 x 0. 000 000 000 1 m/s
  = 0. 000 000 000 1 m/s

Two forces, one of 100 ponds and the other 150 pounds act on the same object, at angles of 20°and 60°, respectively, withthe pos
soldi70 [24.7K]
<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

           F₁ = 100 cos 20 i  +  100 sin 20 j

           F₁ = 93.97 i  +  34.20 j          

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

           F₂ = 150 cos 60 i  +  150 sin 60 j

           F₂ = 75 i  +  129.90 j  

F₁ +  F₂ =  93.97 i  +  34.20 j + 75 i  +  129.90 j

F₁ +  F₂ =  168.97 i  +  164.10 j

\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.

Answer:

Mass of the box is 25kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

Force= mass. acceleration

With the symbol

F=m.a

m=F/a      m=(50N)/(2m/s²)

                m=25kg
