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.

A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 146 cm and makes an angl

svetlana [45]

Answer:

B = 191.26 cm

θ = -14.73°

Explanation:

given,

magnitude of the first displacement(A) = 146 cm

at an angle of 124°

resultant magnitude = 137 cm

and angle made with x-axis by the resultant(R) = 32.0°

component of A in X and Y direction

A x = A cos θ = 146 cos 120° = -73 cm

A y = A sin θ = 146 sin 120° = 126.4 cm

now component of resultant in x and y direction

R x = 137 cos 35°

= 112.2 cm

R y = 137 sin 35°

= 78.6 cm

resultant is the sum of two vectors

R = A + B

R x = A x + B x

B x = 112.2 - (-73) = 185.2 cm

B y = R y - A y

B y = 78.6 - 126.4 = -47.8 cm

magnitude of B

B = $\sqrt{B_x^2+B_y^2}$

B = $\sqrt{185.2^2+-47.8^2}$

B = 191.26 cm

angle $\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{-47.8}{185.2}$

θ = -14.73°

Is it true that the cell theory states that cells are produced by non living cells

sergeinik [125]

The cell theory states that:

1) All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

2) The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

3) Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Your statement is not present, so the answer would be no.

A volcano erupted on an island. The entire plant community was destroyed and the island was covered with grey ash. Slowly, liche

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

There are several kinds of plants who grow and thrive near volcanic locations. For example coffee, grape vines, moss and the rare Hawaiian argyroxiphium, or "silversword." These plants grow and survive using the nutrients from the ashes of the volcanic eruptions along with cooled lava.

Mosses and Lichens form a protective layer over the land which helps it to retain water inside it, rather than drying out which is the case in volcanic sites. Therefore, the retained water helps the land to form and become appropriate for other plants to grow as well.
