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.

The vibrations produced by a jackhammer are used to break up pavement. What type of waves did/does the jackhammer produce into t
klio [65]
<span>P waves 

P-waves are sometimes called pressure waves, and sometimes they are called longitudinal waves. P-waves are transmitted through the Earth’s interior with a backwards and forwards motion along the line of travel, by alternating compression and dilatation. A jack hammer creates P-waves. They are capable of passing through any type of material they encounter, including the liquid of the Earth’s outer core, although they 
will be bent and deflected when they pass across the boundaries separating 
layers of different densities.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

d = 1700 meters

Explanation:

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound.  The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)

Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :

d=v\times t

d=340\ m/s\times 5\ s  

d = 1700 meters

So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
