How do spectroscopes help with studying of distance stars?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours. "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

What statement is true about earth tectonic plates
DaniilM [7]
Continent jig-saw shapes when puzzled and combined together, formed one big continent - Pangea, and was separated by drifts.

Fossil comparisons of different species were discovered into two different, separated continents in which when you combine them, they were one in the past.

Seismic, volcanic, and geothermal activity are found along imagined plate boundaries. 

Plates were actually rubbing against each other as evidence is seen on the formed mountain ranges.

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: a=1016.66 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration a is expressed in the following formula:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}

Where:

V_{f}=610 m/s is the final velocity of the projectile

V_{o}=0 m/s  is the initial velocity of the projectile

t=0.6 s is the time

Solving:

a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}

a=1016.66 m/s^{2} This is the acceleration of the projectile
