Alfred Wegner first proposed the idea that all the seven continents were once one super continent called "Pangea". Everyone considered his idea as a joke until he proved his theory with evidence of matching fossils, matching mountain ranges, and how all the continents fit together like puzzle pieces. Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Which image represents the force on a positively charged particle caused by an approaching magnet?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Image B represents the force on a positively charged particle caused by an approaching magnet.

Explanation:

The most fundamental law of magnetism is that like shafts repulse each other and dissimilar to posts pull in one another; this can without much of a stretch be seen by endeavoring to put like posts of two magnets together. Further attractive impacts additionally exist. On the off chance that a bar magnet is cut into two pieces, the pieces become singular magnets with inverse shafts. Also, pounding, warming or winding of the magnets can demagnetize them, on the grounds that such dealing with separates the direct game plan of the particles. A last law of magnetism alludes to maintenance; a long bar magnet will hold its magnetism longer than a short bar magnet. The domain theory of magnetism expresses that every single enormous magnet involve littler attractive districts, or domains. The attractive character of domains originates from the nearness of significantly littler units, called dipoles. Iotas are masterminded in such a manner in many materials that the attractive direction of one electron counteracts the direction of another; in any case, ferromagnetic substances, for example, iron are unique. The nuclear cosmetics of these substances is with the end goal that littler gatherings of particles unite as one into zones called domains; in these, all the electrons have the equivalent attractive direction.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

a)   v = 0.9167 m / s,  b)  A = 0.350 m,  c)  v = 0.9167 m / s, d)  A = 0.250 m

Explanation:

a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation

          v = λ f

the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength

           λ = x

           λ = x

the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period

          T / 2 = t

           T = 2t

period and frequency are related

           f = 1 / T

           f = 1 / 2t

we substitute

           v = x / 2t

           v = 5.50 / 2 3

           v = 0.9167 m / s

b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero

          2A = y

           A = y / 2

           A = 0.700 / 2

           A = 0.350 m

c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same

      v = 0.9167 m / s

d) the amplitude is

           A = 0.500 / 2

           A = 0.250 m
