How does sea floor spreading provide an explanation for how continents may move over earths surface?(I know this isn't Physics,

but there was no Earth Science option)

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.

Please help <br>problems 2a.,2b.,3a.,and 3b.​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2a) x = 32 [mil/h]; 2b) t = 0.5[h]; 3a) t = 2.5 [h]; 3b) x = 185[mil]

Explanation:

2a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 32 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 1 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=32[\frac{mil}{h} ]*1[h]\\x=32[mil}

2b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{420}{840}\\ t=0.5[h]

3a)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\t=\frac{x}{v} \\t=\frac{35}{14}\\ t=2.5[h]

3b)

We can solve this problem by using the kinematics equation, which relates speed to time and displacement.

v=\frac{x}{t} \\v=velocity [\frac{mil}{h} ] = 74 [\frac{mil}{h}] \\t=time = 2.5 [h]\\x=v*t\\x=74[\frac{mil}{h} ]*2.5[h]\\x=185[mil}

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) =  (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

A hawk leaves its nest in Fort Worth and travels 3,000 meters east. After snacking on a tasty rodent the hawk flies another 1,50
Paha777 [63]
I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance =  Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m
