Describe how Alfred Wegener and Harry Hess contributed to the theory of Plate Tectonics.
8th Science
Answer:Dr. Hess' most significant contribution to the plate tectonic theory began in 1945 when he was the commander of the U.S.S. ... In the paper Hess described how hot magma would rise from under the crust at the Great Global Rift. When the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart.
Explanation:
Explanation:
Alfred Wegener produced evidence in 1912 that the continents are in motion, but because he could not explain what forces could move them, geologists rejected his ideas. Almost 50 years later Harry Hess confirmed Wegener's ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved continents.
Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." Wegener proposed that the continents plowed through the crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines (like South America and Africa) look like they fit together like a puzzle.
In the early universe and now, stars most likely formed from which of the following?
Group of answer choices
Nebulas
Planets
Comets
Asteroids
Answer:
Nebulas
Explanation:
Nebulae are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. ... Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star.
basic component of matter, it is composed of a nucleus which is the central part, the protons and electorns

It took Grant 6 hours and 15 minutes to go 380 miles from Connecticut to Central Maine. What was his average speed?
63.3 mph
60.8 mph
60.8 km/h
58.46 mph
Total distance travelled=6 hrs 15 minutes
Convert minutes in hour15 minutes= [tex] \frac{1}{4} hrs[/tex] Total time= [tex] 6+\frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} hrs[/tex]Total distance=380 miles
[tex] Speed_{avg}=\frac{Total distance} {Total time} \\\\ \to \frac{380 miles}{\frac{25}{4}hrs} \\\\ \to \frac{380 \times 4} {25} \\\\ \to \frac{1520}{25} \\\\ \to 60.8 mph [/tex]
Answer: 60.8mphA 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?
Explanation:
mass=5 kg
potential energy=6000j
height=?
Now
potential energy =m.g.h
or 6000=5*9.8*h
or 6000=49h
or 6000÷49=h
or h= 122.45m

A 20-gram bullet traveling at 250 m/s strikes a block of wood that weighs 2 kg. With what velocity will the block and bullet move after the collision? [convert g to kg]
Answer:
the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg
velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s
mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg
velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0
Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;
Initial momentum = final momentum
m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)
0.02 x 250 + 2 x 0 = v(2 + 0.02)
5 + 0 = v(2.02)
5 = 2.02v
v = 5/2.02
v = 2.48 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?
Answer:
h = 122.44 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a ball, m = 5 kg
Potential energy at the top of the hill, E = 6000 J
We need to find the height of the hill. The formula for the potential energy is given by :
[tex]P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{6000}{5\times 9.8}\\\\h=122.44\ m[/tex]
So, the height is 122.44 m.

You are sharing a house with a few roommates. One of them plays on the basketball team, and is exactly 200 cm tall. The heights of you and the other roommates are 188 cm, 175 cm, and 160 cm. You want to buy the minimum height mirror that will allow all of you to see your entire selves, when the mirror is mounted in a fixed position on the wall. Assume each person's eyes are at a level 95% of their height. How tall a mirror should you buy
Answer:
119 cm
Explanation:
Given heights : 200cm , 188 cm , 175 cm, 160 cm
since the eyes are at 95% level
95% of 200 cm = 190 cm
95% of 160 cm = 152 cm
hence the allowable height of mirror = 200 - ( 5 + 76 ) = 119 cm
and The mirror should be hung 75cm from the floor
Derived and define the units

9.) This 200 kg
stag that weighs
1,960 N on earth
would only weigh
324 N on the
moon. Calculate the moon's
acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:
Mass on moon = 33.06 kg
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass on earth = 200 kg
Weight on earth = 1960 N
Weight on moon = 324 N
To find the mass on moon;
First of all, we would determine the acceleration due to gravity.
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
1960 = 200 * g
g = 1960/200
g = 9.8 m/s²
Next, we find the mass on moon;
Mass on moon = weight on moon/acceleration due to gravity
Mass on moon = 324/9.8
Mass on moon = 33.06 kg

What net force would be required for a 50.5 kg wolf to accelerate at 5.0 m/s^2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 252.5 \ Newtons }}[/tex]
Explanation:
Force is the push or pull on object that can cause different things, like acceleration. According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, it is the product of mass and acceleration.
[tex]F=m*a[/tex]
The mass of the wolf is 50.5 kilograms and the acceleration is 5.0 meters per square second. Therefore:
[tex]m= 50.5 \ kg[/tex][tex]a= 5.0 \ m/s^2[/tex]Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]F= 50.5 \ kg * 5.0 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]F=252.5 \ kg*m/s^2[/tex]
1 kilogram meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 252.5 kg*m/s² is equal to 252.5 Newtons.[tex]F= 252.5 \ N[/tex]
The force required is 252.5 Newtons.
