WITCHER [35]2 years ago

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics. 

 

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

A 10.0kg water balloon is dropped from a height of 12.0m. Calculate the speed of the balloon just before it hits the ground
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

15.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Potential energy of the balloon has been converted to kinetic energy.

potential energy = kinetic energy.

mgh = ½mv².

10* 10* 12= ½ *10 *v²

1200 = 5v²

v²=1200÷5

v=√240

v= 15.49~15.5 m/s.

The area of the effort and load of the Piston of a hydrolic are 0.5 and 5m respectively. If a force of 100 Newton is applied on
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Pascal laws, which states that pressure are the input equals the pressure at the output.

Pressure is given as force/area

P1=P2

Then,

F1/A1=F2/A2

Cross multiply

F1A2=F2A1

Given that

Ae=0.5m² area of effort

Al=5m² area of load

Fl=? Force if load

Fe= 100N. Force of effort

Then applying pascal

Fl/Al=Fe/Ae

Fl/5=100/0.5

FL/5=200

Fl=200×5

Fl=1000N

The first safety load is 1000N
