What was Laurentia and what lands was it composed of? What happened to it?

1 answer:

4 0

Laurentia, also called the North American Craton, is a huge continental craton. It forms the ancient geological core of the continent of North America. It is made up of present day North America and Greenland. About 300 million years ago, it collided with the southern hemispheric continent of Gondwana and formed the supercontinent called Pangaea.

Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 1.0 % of the speed of light when they h

omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .

A wave will "break" because ________. a wave will "break" because ________. the sediment load of water is greater near the shore

vodka [1.7K]

A wave will "break" because the bottom interferes with its oscillatory motion. Breaking of waves may occur anywhere that the amplitude is sufficient, including in mid-ocean. When waves enter shallow water they break because the motion of water in lower part of the wave nearest the bottom is slowed by friction so that their oscillation is faster than its supporting portion at the bottom. Thus, the wave collapses forward and breaks.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

so angular velocity is 7.13128 sec−1

Explanation:

velocity v = 2.2 m/s

displacement s = 220 mm = 0.220 m

distance d = 510 mm = 0.510 m

to find out

angular velocity

solution

we know that

angular velocity will be velocity ( v) / (displacement² + distance²) .....1

now put all these value in equation 1 and we get angular velocity i.e.

angular velocity = velocity ( v) / (displacement² + distance²)

angular velocity = 2.2 / (0.22² + 0.51²)

angular velocity = 2.2 / 0.3085

angular velocity = 7.13128

so angular velocity is 7.13128 sec−1

True since coulomb's law states that There is electric force between like charges or opposite charges. The negative sign only shows the nature of the force.

<h3>What is the coulombs law ?</h3>

coulombs formula is given by

$F= \dfrac{K\times q_{1} \times q_{2}}{r^{2} }$

Now it states that if two charged particles are separated by the distance r and having same or opposite charge will attract or repel each other.

The intensity of the force depend upon the distance and the nature of the charge.

Hence coulomb's law states that There is electric force between like charges or opposite charges. The negative sign only shows the nature of the force.
