What evidence did wegener use to create his theory of continental drift?

1 answer:

7 0

Wegener used fossil evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis. The fossils of these organisms are found on lands that are now far apart. Grooves and rock deposits left by ancient glaciers are found today on different continents very close to the equator.

Which will have a greater inertia the moon or the earth

abruzzese [7]

Earth has more inertia than the moon. Explanation: Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of its mass. Greater the mass, greater is the inertia. Gravitational pull also depends on the mass of the object. Greater the mass, the object would pull with greater force. Earth has greater mass than the moon, thus it has greater inertia and greater gravitational pull.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn

ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = $3.00\times 10^8\ m/s$

The distance = $7.9\times 10^8\ km$

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = $7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m$

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Thus,

$3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}$

$300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s$

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time= $\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min$

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
