Was Wegener able to provide a mechanism as to how the plates moved accordingly? Why or why not?

Answer:

The main issue with Wegener's Continental Drift Theory was he did not have a mechanism behind the drifting of continents. He had a substantial amount of evidence that made sense; nonetheless, without a driving force behind it, the scientific community simply discredited his entire idea.

Joanna wants to determine the speed of sound in xenon. When she plays a tone with a frequency of 440 Hz, the resulting sound wav
iVinArrow [24]

The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

  • v = Speed of the sound in xenon
  • f = Frequency
  • λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 440 Hz
  • λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • v = 440(0.404)
  • v = 177.76 m/s.
  • v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

What is the speed of an object after falling (from rest) a distance of 9.80 meters near the surface of the Earth? Assume air
madam [21]

Hi there!

We can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad

vf = Final velocity (? m/s)

vi = initial velocity (0 m/s, dropped from rest)

a = acceleration (due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²)

d = distance (9.8 m)

Simplify the equation to solve for vf:

v_f^2 = 0 + 2ad\\\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}

Substitute in the given values:

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(9.8)} = \boxed{13.86 m/s}

  <span>I'll tell you how to do it but you must crunch the numbers. 

Use Kepler's 3rd Law 

T^2 = k R^3 

where k = 4(pi)^2/ GM 
G =gravitational constant = 6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 
M = mass of this new planet 
pi = 3.14159265 
T =3.09 days = 266976 seconds 
R = (579,000,000km)/9 = 64333333.3 km 

a) 
Solve Kepler's 3rd Law for M. Your answer will be in kg 


b) 
mass of the sun = 1.98892 × 10^30 kilograms

What is the weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5 kg
IgorLugansk [536]

W = 4.9N. The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5Kg is 4.9N.

The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and can be defined as the product of the mass by the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.

W = (0.5Kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 4.9N
