D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.
Explanation:
New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.
The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.
His theory needed more scientific backing also.
- A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
- Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
- This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

Answer:
a) X = 17.64 m
b) X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t
c) Velocity = lim(∆t→0)〖∆X/∆t〗 = 16.8 m/s
Explanation:
a) The position at t = 2.10s is:
X = 4t^2
X = 4(2.10)^2
X = 17.64 m
b) The position at t = 2.10 + ∆t s will be:
X = 4(2.10 + ∆t)^2
X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t m
c) ∆X is the difference between position at t = 2.10s and t = 2.10 + ∆t so,
∆X= 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t
Divide by ∆t on both sides:
∆X/∆t = 4∆t + 16.8
Taking the limit as ∆t approaches to zero we get:
Velocity =lim(∆t→0)〖∆X/∆t〗 = 4(0) + 16.8
Velocity = 16.8 m/s
i do not have an answer because it depends on the size and the distance lol
(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
<h3>
Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>
The effect of height and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)
¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)
v² - u² = -2ghf
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- v is the final velocity at upper level
- u is the initial velocity
- hf is final height
- g is acceleration due to gravity
when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,
when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0
Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
<h3>Final speed</h3>
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
- g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
- v is final speed
- hf is equal height
Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;
5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s
Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
