Physics
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
6 0
Answer: A conflict between established theory, and empirical evidence, resulting in compromise.



Explanation;

Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." Wegener proposed that the continents plowed through crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines look like they fit together like a puzzle.

Calculate the momentum of a 1,500 kg car traveling at 6 m/s.
mamaluj [8]

Answer: 9000 kgm/s

Explanation:

Mass of car = 1500 kg

Speed by which car moves = 6 m/s. Momentum of the car = ?

Recall that:

Linear momentum = Mass x Speed

= 1500kg x 6m/s

= 9000 kgm/s

Thus, the linear momentum of the car is 9000 kgm/s

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6) tends to be chemically inert. An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion.Explanation:

Which is an example of reflection
Elena-2011 [213]

Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection.
