How do fossils provide evidence of continental drift?

1 answer:

8 0

C explanation: There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined. If Continental Drift had not occurred, the alternative explanations would be: They swam to the other continent/s in breeding pairs to establish a second population. ...

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

$x=V_{o} cos\theta t$ (1)

$y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x=0.25 m$ is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

$V_{o}$ is the pencil's initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since we are told the pencil rolls horizontally before falling

$t$ is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

$y_{o}=1 m$ is the initial height of the pencil

$y=0$ is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

$x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t$ (3)

$x=V_{o}t$ (4)

Finding $t$ from (2):

$0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

$x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (7)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{o}=0.55 m/s$

How the forces makes effect on the state of motion of an object ? Plz ans fast urgent

Ksju [112]

Answer:

1. It may change the direction of an object in motion.

2. It may cause change in velocity of an object in motion.

Explanation:

1.It may change the direction of an object in motion.

When an object is in motion,an applied force on that object may change its direction.

For example, a sailboat moving eastward, can suddenly change its direction by interaction of a storm wind blowing form the south.

2. It may cause change in velocity of an object in motion .

A force applied to an object in motion can increase or decrease its speed. When the force is applied to the object in motion in the direction of that object, its velocity may increase.

On the other hand, when the force is applied in the opposite direction to the object in motion, its velocity may reduce.

Given that the distance from the left end of the string to the first antinode is 27.5 cm , calculate the wavelength of the stand

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

= 0.55 m

Explanation:

A standing wave is characterized by anti-nodes and nodes.

Antinodes are points on a standing wave at maximum amplitude, while nodes are points on the standing wave that are stationary and have zero amplitude.

The distance between two adjacent nodes or two adjacent anti-nodes is equivalent to half the wavelength.

Therefore, in this case the half wavelength is 27.5 cm.

Thus, wavelength = 27.5 × 2

= 55 cm

= 0.55 m
