What discoveries support the idea of continental drift?

2 answers:

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.

The origin of an x axis is placed at the center of a nonconducting solid sphere of radius R that carries a charge +qsphere distr

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$q=49Q/64$

and

$x =16R/15$

Explanation:

See attached figure.

$E_{Q}=$ E due to sphere

$E_{q}=$ E due to particule

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$ (1)

according to the law of gauss and superposition Law:

$E_{Q}=E_{1}+E_{2}=E_{2}$ ; electric field due to the small sphere with r1=R/4

$E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=$

$q_{2}=density*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q/(4/3*pi*R^{3})*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q*r_{1}^{3}/R^{3}$

then: $E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=k*Q*r_{1}^{3}/(R^{3}*r_{1}^{2}) = kQ/(4*R^{2})$ (2)

on the other hand, for the particule:

$E_{q}=kq/(r_{p}^{2})$

$r_{p}=2R-R/4=7R/4$ ⇒ $E_{q}=16kq/(49R^{2})$ (3)

We replace (2) y (3) in (1):

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(4*R^{2}) - 49kq/(16R^{2})$

$q=49Q/64$

--------------------

if R<x<2R AND $E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(x^{2}) - kq/(2R-x^{2})$

remember that $q=49Q/64$

then:

$Q(2R-x^{2})=49/64*x^{2}$

solving:

$x_{1} =16R/15$

$x_{2} =16R$

but: R<x<2R

so : $x =16R/15$

A. The cliff was 30.7 m high
B. I also got 9.5 as the horizontal distance

Here is my work, I find making charts like this one to find knowns and unknowns can be helpful

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have?

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction: two or more compounds combine to form one.

A + B → C

Decomposition reaction: one compound forms two or more.

C → A + B

Single replacement reaction: an element in one compound is replaced with another element.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement reaction: elements in two compounds replace each other.

AB + CD → AC + BD
