What discoveries support the idea of continental drift?

Physics

Nastasia [14]3 years ago

Answer: With the discovery of plate tectonics and the mapping of the earth into about 12 plates, plus the understanding that plates' movement caused earthquakes, Alfred Wegener's idea of " continental drift" looked less ludicrous than his contemporaries had thought.

Explanation: Hope this works :)! If not, I am sorry :(. If it does, Your Welcome! :)

A 100g block is initially compressing a spring 5.0 cm. The spring launches the block 50cm horizontally along the ground with a f
Setler [38]

Answer:

7200 N/m

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion

100g = 0.1 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

50 cm = 0.5 m

As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground

The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m

W_f = F_fs = 15*0.5 = 7.5 J

Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:

E_p = mgh = 0.1*10*1.5 = 1.5 J

Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:

E_e = W_f + E_p

kx^2/2 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9 J

k = 9*2/x^2 = 18/0.05^2 = 7200 N/m

Light passes through a pair of narrow slits with a 0.67-mm separation. It is found that the fourth bright fringe makes an angle
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.

A child on a bridge throws a rock straight down to the water below. The point where the child released the rock is 82 m above th
eimsori [14]

Answer:

40 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of the fall, h = 82 m

time taken to fall, t = 1.3 s

rock velocity, v = ?

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

rock is released initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 82

v² = 1607.2

v = 40 m/s

hence, rock's velocity is equal to 40 m/s

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

A 10 kg migratory swan cruises at 20m/s. A calculation that takes into ac-count the necessary forces shows that this motion requ
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%
