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.

A machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 245 g and diameter 4.30 cm . It is spinning about a frictionless
Alla [95]

Answer:

Angular acceleration, \alpha =9.49\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the solid sphere, m = 245 g = 0.245 kg

Diameter of the sphere, d = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

Radius, r = 0.0215 m

Force acting at a point, F = 0.02 N

Let \alpha is its angular acceleration. The relation between the angular acceleration and the torque is given by :

\tau=I\times \alpha

I is the moment of inertia of the solid sphere

For a solid sphere, I=\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2

\alpha =\dfrac{\tau}{I}

\alpha =\dfrac{F.r}{(2/5)mr^2}

\alpha =\dfrac{5F}{2mr}

\alpha =\dfrac{5\times 0.02}{2\times 0.245\times 0.0215}

\alpha =9.49\ rad/s^2

So, its angular acceleration is 9.49\ rad/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Unlike an observational study, an experiment can prove:
Zinaida [17]

A. Cause and effect.

Explanation:

An experiment can prove cause and effect in a study unlike observational studies.

  • Observational studies is a non-experimental system of investigation.
  • It helps to identify the causes(independent variable) and the effect(dependent variables).
  • In observational studies, the variables cannot be controlled and so it is difficult to prove the cause and effect.
  • An experiment can prove cause and effect because the parameters are tested and can be controlled.
