who revised Wegener's theory by adding the convection currents under the Earth as the cause for the movement?

Natasha2012 [34]4 years ago
6 0
Although Alfred Wegener was considered as the "Father of the Plate Tectonics Theory", his theory was furthermore revised by Arthur Holmes. It was this scientist who suggested that the plate motions could be subjected from convection currents on the mantle. These convection currents would lead to the formation of different landforms.

A 9.0-kg bowling ball on a horizontal, frictionless surface experiences a net force of 6.0 n. what will be its acceleration?
Vladimir [108]

This question involves the concepts of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

The acceleration of the bowling ball will be "0.67 m/s²".

<h3>Newton's Second Law of Motion</h3>

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, when an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in it, in the direction of the applied force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Mathematically,

F=ma\\\\a=\frac{F}{m}

where,

  • a = acceleration = ?
  • F = Magnitude of the applied force = 6 N
  • m = Mass of the ball = 9 kg

Therefore,

a=\frac{6\ N}{9\ kg}

a = 0.67 m/s²

You used the right-hand rule to determine the z component of the angular momentum, but as a check, calculate in terms of positio
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

case x py   L is in the positive z direction

case y px   L the negative z direction

Explanation:

The angular amount is defined by the relation

         L = r x p

the bold are vectors, where r is the position vector and p is the linear amount vector.

The module of this vector can be concentrated by the relation

         L = r p sin θ

the direction of the vector L can be found by the right-hand rule where the thumb points in the direction of the displacement vector, the fingers extended in the direction of the moment p which is the same direction of speed and the palm points in the direction of the angular momentum L

in the case x py

the thumb is in the x direction, the fingers are extended in the direction and the palm is in the positive z direction

In the case y px

the thumb is in the y direction, the fingers are in the x direction, the palm is in the negative z direction

A particle leaves the origin with a speed of 3 106 m/s at 38 degrees to the positive x axis. It moves in a uniform electric fiel
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

If the particle is an electron E_y = 3.311 * 10^3 N/C

If the particle is a proton, E_y = 6.08 * 10^6 N/C

Explanation:

Initial speed at the origin, u = 3 * 10^6 m/s

\theta = 38^0 to +ve x-axis

The particle crosses the x-axis at , x = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

The particle can either be an electron or a proton:

Mass of an electron, m_e = 9.1 * 10^{-31} kg

Mass of a proton, m_p = 1.67 * 10^{-27} kg

The electric field intensity along the positive y axis E_y, can be given by the formula:

E_y = \frac{2 m u^2 sin \theta cos \theta}{qx} \\

If the particle is an electron:

E_y = \frac{2 m_e u^2 sin \theta cos \theta}{qx} \\

E_y = \frac{2 * 9.1 * 10^{-31} * (3*10^6)^2 *(sin38)( cos38)}{1.6*10^{-19} * 0.015} \\

E_y = 3311.13 N/C\\E_y = 3.311 * 10^3 N/C

If the particle is a proton:

E_y = \frac{2 m_p u^2 sin \theta cos \theta}{qx} \\

E_y = \frac{2 * 1.67 * 10^{-27} * (3*10^6)^2 *(sin38)( cos38)}{1.6*10^{-19} * 0.015} \\

E_y = 6.08 * 10^6 N/C

The voltage across the terminals of a generator is 5.7 v when it supplies a current of 0.3 A. It becomes 5.1 V when I=0.9A. Find
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

  • The emf of the generator is 6V
  • The internal resistance of the generator is 1 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

terminal voltage, V = 5.7 V, when the current, I = 0.3 A

terminal voltage, V = 5.1 V, when the current, I = 0.9 A

The emf of the generator is calculated as;

E = V + Ir

where;

E is the emf of the generator

r is the internal resistance

First case:

E = 5.7   + 0.3r -------- (1)

Second case:

E = 5.1 + 0.9r -------- (2)

Since the emf E, is constant in both equations, we will have the following;

5.1 + 0.9r = 5.7   + 0.3r  

collect similar terms together;

0.9r - 0.3r = 5.7 - 5.1

0.6r = 0.6

r = 0.6/0.6

r = 1 Ω

Now, determine the emf of the generator;

E = V + Ir

E = 5.1 + 0.9x1

E = 5.1 + 0.9

E = 6 V
