What's three pieces of evidence that Wegener used to support his theory ( Alfred Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift states that the continents once formed a single landmass, broke up, and drifted to their present locations )
and why it is important to have several pieces of evidence when proposing a theory to describe phenomena like Alfred Wegener did.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In the early part of the 20th century, scientists began to put together evidence that the continents could move around on Earth's surface. The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of ancient climatic zones.

WhAT is the change IN THE entropy of 2.0kg of h2o molecules when transform at a constant pressure of 1 atm from water at 100 degrees celcius to steam at the same tEMPERATURE?

Answers

Answer:

The entropy change is 45.2 kJ/K.

Explanation:

mass of water at 100 C = 2 kg

Latent heat of vaporization, L = 2260 kJ/kg

Heat is

H = m L

H = 2 x 2260 = 4520 kJ

Entropy is given by

S = H/T = 4520/100 = 45.2 kJ/K

The entropy change during the phase change of water from liquids to steam at constant pressure and same temperatures will be zero because, Δ T is zero here.

What is entropy?

Entropy is a thermodynamic parameter determining the measure of randomness in a system. Entropy of a natural reaction or change is always increasing.

According to second third law of thermodynamics the  entropy change of the universe is positive always. At constant pressure the entropy change a of substance of m g is written as:

ΔS = m Cp ln T2/T1.

Where Cp is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure.

Here, the initial temperature and final temperature is same 100 degree celsius. Thus T2/T1 becomes 1 and log 1 is zero. Therefore, the entropy  change in this phase change is zero.

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20m/sec. Find the maximum height ot reaches and the time taken by it to reach the height. (g=10m/s2)

plz short numerical ASAP​

Answers

Answer:

The height reached is 20m, The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

Explanation:

Observing the equations of motion we can see that the following equation will be most helpful for this question.

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as[/tex]

We are given initial velocity, u

We know that the stone will stop at its maximum height, so final velocity, v

Acceleration, a

And we are looking for the displacement (height reached), s

Substitute the values we are given into the equation

[tex]0^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(10)s[/tex]

Rearrange for s

[tex]0^{2} -20^{2} =20s[/tex]

[tex]-400=20s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-400}{20} =s[/tex]

s = -20 (The negative is just showing direction, it can be ignored for now)

The height reached is 20m

Use a different equation to find the time taken

[tex]s = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

Substitute in the values we have

[tex]-20=(0)t - \frac{1}{2} (10)t^{2}[/tex]

Rearrange for t

[tex]-20 =0 -5 t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-20}{-5} =t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]4 = t^{2}[/tex]

t = 2s

The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

un litro de un gas es calentado a presión constante desde 20°C hasta 60°C que volumen final ocupará dicho gas? ​

Answers

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 1 litre

Initial temperature, T1 = 20°C

Final temperature, T2 = 60°C

To find the final volume, we would use Charles' law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = (V1T2)/T1

Substituting into the formula, we have;

V2 = (1 * 60)/20

V2 = 60/20

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres

Uma pilha AA (pilha de controle remoto) fornece ao circuito 1,5V, já uma bateria de carro fornece 12V. Qual a relação entre a energia fornecida entre esses elementos de circuito?

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of energy of AA battery to the car battery is 0.0156.

Explanation:

An AA battery (remote control battery) supplies the circuit with 1.5V, while a car battery supplies 12V. What is the relationship between the energy supplied between these circuit elements?

Supply by AA battery = 1.5 V

Supply by car battery = 12 V

The resistance of the circuit is R.

The energy supplied = V^2/R

The energy supplied by the AA battery is

E = 1.5 x 1.5 / R = 2.25/R

The energy supplied by the car battery is

E' = 12 x 12/ R = 144 / R

So, the ratio of

E : E' = 2.25 : 144 = 0.0156

An ice-skater with a mass of 80kg is holding a bowling ball with a mass of 8 kg. Suppose that the skater tosses the bowling ball forward with a speed of 6 m/s. What is the skater's reactive velocity? Show all work.

Answers

Answer:

0.6 m/s

Explanation:

The details of the masses and velocities are;

The mass of the ice skater, m₁ = 80 kg

The mass of the ball, m₂ = 8 kg

The speed with which the skater tosses the ball forward, v₂ = 6 m/s

Therefore;

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ = m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The skater's reactive velocity

Therefore, we get;

80 kg × v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s

v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s/(80 kg) = 0.6 m/s

The skater's reactive velocity, v₁ = 0.6 m/s.

You are trying to hold your 550 g physics books with your hand against a vertical wall. Using a force sensor you know that the force you are applying is 10.0 N. Below the book on the floor you have placed a motion sensor. The position time graph for the book is given. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answers

The book's position is changing linearly with time, so its velocity is constant. This means that the net force acting on the book in the direction parallel to the surface is

F = 10.0 N - n = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force on the book due to the wall, and the net force perpedicular to the surface is

F = f - (0.550 kg) g = 0

where f is the mag. of kinetic friction, and f = µn where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Then

n = 10.0 N

• f = (0.550 kg) g = 5.39 N

• 5.39 N = µ (10.0 N)

==>   µ = 0.539

Answer:

Above answer

Explanation:

The book's position is changing linearly with time, so its velocity is constant. This means that the net force acting on the book in the direction parallel to the surface is

∑ F = 10.0 N - n = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force on the book due to the wall, and the net force perpedicular to the surface is

∑ F = f - (0.550 kg) g = 0

where f is the mag. of kinetic friction, and f = µn where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Then

• n = 10.0 N

• f = (0.550 kg) g = 5.39 N

• 5.39 N = µ (10.0 N)

==>   µ = 0.539
