Answer:

It probably won't get any taller, though. From a geological standpoint, the Appalachians haven't seen much growth in quite a while. Since the dawn of the dinosaurs about 225 million years ago, this range has been getting whittled down by weathering forces.

Answer:

mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. ... Bottom line: mountains can get taller than Mount Everest in earth gravity, like the Appalachians probably did—but not much taller.

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

$s=v_mt$ ----1

Distance traveled by Police car

$s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$

$s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$ ----2

from 1 & 2 we get

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

$v=u+a_pt$

$v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

$v=2v_m$

(b)time taken by police car is

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(c)Distance travel by police car $=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}$

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because _____.

pickupchik [31]

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because of friction.
AMA (Actual mechanical advantage) is found by dividing output force by effort force. The actual mechanical advantage will always be less than the ideal mechanical advantage. The ideal mechanical advantage assumes perfect efficiency which doesn't account for friction, while actual mechanical advantage does. Therefore; the IMA is always greater than the actual mechanical advantage because all machines must overcome friction.

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel

BARSIC [14]

The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

hope this helps

If you were making an electric device and needed a piece that would easily transmit an electric charge and also not react with o

loris [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, one material that is good candidate for conducting electricity without reacting with other materials is metallic vanadium dioxide. This is because of the inability of this electrical conductor to conduct heat (an unusual property for all other electrical conductors) and thus makes it difficult for it to react with other materials (since an increase in temperature increases possibility of a reaction).
