D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.

Explanation:

New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.

The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.

His theory needed more scientific backing also.

  • A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
  • Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
  • This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

Suppose the electrostatic force between two electrons is F. What is the electrostatic force between an electron and a proton
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

D. −F

Explanation:

the rest of the answers are

2/3F

The force is represented as a positive quantity and is repulsive.

Electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The direction of the force changes, and the magnitude of the force quadruples.

hope this helps sorry if i was too late! :)

A jet travels 2250 km westward at a speed of 960 km/hr. it then encounters a strong headwind and its speed drops to 805 km/hr fo
Kipish [7]
For the first part of the trip:
we have velocity = 960 km/hr and distance = 2250 km
velocity = distance / time
time1 = distance / velocity = 2250 / 960 = 2.34375 hours

For the second part of the trip:
we have velocity = 805 km/hr and distance = 1320 km
velocity = distance / time
time2 = distance / velocity = 1320 / 805 = 1.63975 hours

For the total trip:
we have:
total distance covered = 2250 + 1320 = 3570 km
total time taken = 2.34375 + 1.63975 = 3.9835 hours
average velocity = total distance / total time
average velocity = 3570 / 3.9835 = 896.1968 km/hr

A positive test charge q is released from rest at distance r away from a charge of +Q and a distance 2r away from a charge of +2
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

B. to the right

Explanation:

Given:

  • test charge +q
  • distance of the test charge from +Q, r
  • distance of test charge from +2Q, 2r

<u>Force on the test charge due to +Q:</u>

F_1=k.\frac{Q.q}{r^2}

<u>Force on the test charge due to +Q:</u>

F_2=k.\frac{2Q.q}{(2r)^2}

F_2=k.\frac{Q.q}{2r^2}

Since all the charges are positive here, so they will try to repel the test charge away. And the force due to charge +Q will be greater so initially the test charge will move rightwards away from the +Q charge.
