Answer:

The continental drift is a geological theory according to which the continents would move with respect to one another. It was introduced, in its modern version, in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, who was the first to present the evidence of the phenomenon and a coherent explanation of its causes in an organic formulation. In modern science the theory of continental drift is replaced by the more general theory of plate tectonics.

Answer: the correct answer is (B) He did not know that interstellar dust made it hard from him to see a large part of the Milky Way's disk.

Explanation:

We live in a dusty Galaxy. Because interstellar dust absorbs the light from stars, Herschel could see only those stars within about 6000 light-years of the Sun.

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$1270.64\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = $\dfrac{mg}{g}$

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}$

The work done against friction is $1270.64\ \text{J}$ .

As Clinton walks he pushes his shoe against the track.

Valentin [98]

Answer:A:The track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.

Explanation:According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. In this case, the action force is Clinton's shoe pushing on the track. As this happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction force in which the track pushes back on Clinton's shoe with the same force.
