WITCHER [35]3 years ago
6 0

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 Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.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.

Calculate the displacement of a car waxing point of 11 m to the final positions of 4 meters
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

-7 m

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position of motion of an object to its final position.

For the car in this problem, we have:

- Initial position: + 11 m

- Final position: + 4 m

Therefore, the vector displacement will be:

d = +4 - (+11) = -7 m

Which means:

- Magnitude of 7 m

- Negative direction

When analyzing a position time graph the direction of the slope positive or negative tells us:
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Positive values for position indicate that the object is in front of the starting point and negative values tell us that the object is behind the starting point. (time = 9.5, position = 0) the object is at the starting point.

An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 Hz . It is unknown whether harmonics belo
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The successive harmonics are;  700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 H

Now, for a closed pipe,

length of pipe (L) = λ/4

Harmonics; 1x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 9x, 11x

1100Hz - 900Hz = 200Hz

⇒ 2x = 200Hz

x = 100Hz ( fundamental frequency )

λ = V/f = 340 /100 = 3.4 m

Now

Length L = λ / 4

L = 3.4 / 4

L = 0.85 m or 85 cm

Therefore, the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm
