Math is the process of using the given information, along with
all the general stuff that you know, to find the missing information.
With no given information, we have no way to even guess at
an answer.

Which explanations provide support for continental drift theory? Check all that apply.
Dinosaurs lived on many continents.
Coal fields match up across continents.
Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas.
Similar rock types are found across continents.
Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.
Coal fields match up across continents.
Similar rock types are found across continents.
Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas.
Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
The way the continents on the earth shifts its position is explained by the Continental drift theory. Alfred Wegener was the one who fist proposed this theory in 1912. This theory also explains how similar rocks are formed on the different continents and also the reason why some of the animal and plant fossils looks similar.
The evidences that supports the continental drift theory can be Coal fields match up across continents. Fossils of Glossopteris supports the theory of continental drift with coal fields and coastlines
. The land features, climate changes are some of the evidences that also supports the theory of continental drift.The evidences of the glaciers that can be found in South Africa also supports the explanation of the continental drift.
A) average acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time
= 7700 - 0 / 11
= 700ms^-2
B) force = mass x acceleration
= (3.05 x 105) x 700
= 320.25 x 700
= 224,175N
Answer:
= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
Explanation:
The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy
Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C
Kinetic energy of the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)
= 8.459 × 10⁻¹³
k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²
Kinetic energy = potential energy = k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus
r = ( 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³
= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
Answer:
b) in a direction that makes its potential energy decrease.
Explanation:
- As the electric field has the direction that would take a positive test charge under its sole influence, the positive test charge, will have an increase in its kinetic energy.
- Due to the conservation of energy, in absence of non-conservative forces, this increment must be equal and opposite to the change in electric potential energy, which will be always negative, independent of the sign of the charge.
