The answer is believed to be C because the evidence is from fossils and glaciers.

The answer is D because if there are tropical fossils in Antartica that means that the continents were once together, which proves plate tectonics because that means plate tectonics moved the supercontinent (Pangea) apart.

How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 1.8 g of water by 2.5 k ?'?
tatyana61 [14]
Missing part in the text of the problem: 
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/(g K) is the specific heat capacity of the water
\Delta T=2.5 K is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E

We know that each photon carries an energy of
E_1 = hf
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons

Com que rapidez estará sendo feito trabalho elétrico num resistor de 10 ohms, percorrido por uma corrente elétrica de 5 A? Qual
34kurt

Poder = (resistencia) x (corrente)²

Poder = (10 ohms) x (5 A)²

<em>Poder = 250 watts </em>(250 Joule por segundo)

2 horas = 7,200 segundos

Energia = (250 joule/seg) x (7,200 seg)

<em>Energia = 1,800,000 Joules</em>

A bike rider was moving to the right at a constant speed. Suddenly the wind then starts blowing against her with 3 N of force to
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). <u>This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law)</u>.

What are two things that are infinite?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Infinity = Never ending

Explanation:

The universe could be infinite, both in terms of space and time, but there is currently no way to test whether it goes on forever or is just very big. The part of the universe we are able to observe is finite, measuring about 46 billion light years in diameter.

The set of natural numbers is an infinite set. This kind of infinity is, by definition, called countable infinity. All sets that can be put into a bijective relation to the natural numbers are said to have this kind of infinity. This is also expressed by saying that the cardinal number of the set is aleph-naught (ℵ0).

Hope this helps. Mark as brainliest!

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)
