Answer:
The mechanism that drives plate tectonics is the heat and gravity that are fundamental to the process Lithospheric plates are part of a planetary scale thermal convection system. The energy source for plate tectonics is Earth’s internal heat while the forces moving the plates are the “ridge push” and “slab pull” gravity forces.
And the one explanation for the movement of the Earth’s crustal plates is believed to be convection currents which occur in the semi-molten mantle. These convection currents are created by heat from within the earth – much of which is generated by radioactive decay in the core. Convection currents in the mantle.

Which is the correct equation for the force applied by a spring?
Answer:
B. [tex]F = -k*x[/tex]
Explanation:
The force of a spring can be easily calculated using Hooke's law which tells us that the force applied on a spring is equal to the product of the constant of a spring by the compressed or stretched distance of the spring.
That is:
[tex]F = k*x[/tex]
k = spring constant [N/m]
x = distance [m]
A researcher changes the DNA in a soybean plant so that it produces offspring with a resistance to weed killer. Which best describes this scenario? genetic engineering gene therapy cloning selective breeding
Answer:
Genetic engineering
Explanation:
Genetic engineering or also called genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome in order to bring about a desirable trait in such organism. In genetic engineering procedure, the organism manipulated is called TRANSGENIC or GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) organisms.
In this case, a researcher is said to change the DNA (genetic material) in a soybean plant so that it produces offspring with a resistance to weed killer. This describes a genetic engineering procedure in which the soybean plant is manipulated to yield a desired trait, which is resistance to weed killer.
Answer:
A. genetic engineering

A gun fires a bullet horizontally with a velocity of 90 m/s from a tower. Neglecting air resistance, how far will the bullet travel horizontally in 4 seconds?
Answer:
The distance covered along the horizontal axis is [tex]s = 360 \ m[/tex]
The distance covered along the vertical axis is [tex]h = 78.4 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The horizontal velocity is [tex]u_x = 90 \ m/s[/tex]
The time considered is [tex]t = 4 \ s[/tex]
Generally the distance which the bullet will cover in the horizontal direction for the given time is mathematically represented as
[tex]s = u_xt + \frac{1}{2}* at^2[/tex]
Here a is the acceleration along the horizontal direction and the value is [tex]a = 0 \ m/s^2[/tex]
So
[tex]s = 90 * 4 + \frac{1}{2}* * 0 * 4^2[/tex]
=> [tex]s = 360 \ m[/tex]
Generally the distance which the bullet will cover in the vertical direction for the given time is mathematically represented as
[tex]h= u_y t + \frac{1}{2}* gt^2[/tex]
Here [tex]u_y[/tex] is the initial velocity of the bullet along the vertical axis and the value is [tex]u_y = 0 \ m/s[/tex]
[tex]h = 0 * 4 + \frac{1}{2}* 9.8 *4^2[/tex]
=> [tex]h = 78.4 \ m[/tex]

The Washington Monument in our nation's capital is 555 ft high. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, what would be the
speed of the penny as it "hit" the ground?
оа
Ob

Od
48.3 m/s
-68.4 m/s
84.7 m/s
-57.6 m/s
Answer:
a= g = - 9.81 m/s2.
The following equations will be helpful:
a = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 at2 vf2 = vo2 + 2ad
When you substitute the specific acceleration due to gravity (g), the equations are as follows:
g = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 gt2 vf2 = vo2 + 2gd
If the object is dropped from rest, the initial velocity ("vi") is zero. This further simplifies the equations to these:
g = vf /t d = 1/2 gt2 vf2 = 2gd
The sign convention that we will use for direction is this: "down" is the negative direction. If you are given a velocity such as -5.0 m/s, we will assume that the direction of the velocity vector is down. Also if you are told that an object falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s, you would substitute -5.0 m/s in your equations. The sign convention would also apply to the acceleration due to gravity as shown above. The direction of the acceleration vector is down (-9.81 m/s2) because the gravitational force causing the acceleration is directed downward.
hope this info helps you out!

You are trying to climb a castle wall so, from the ground, you throw a hook with a rope attached to it at 24.1 m/s at an angle of 65.0° above the horizontal. If it hits the top of the wall at a speed of 16.3 m/s, how high is the wall?
Answer:
The value is [tex]h = 13.2 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The speed of the rope with hook is [tex]u = 24 .1 \ m/s[/tex]
The angle is [tex]\theta = 65.0^o[/tex]
The speed at which it hits top of the wall is [tex]v = 16.3 m/s[/tex]
Generally from kinematic equation we have that
[tex]v_y^2 = u_y ^2 + * 2 (-g)* h[/tex]
Here h is the height of the wall so
[tex][16.3 sin (65)]^2 = [24.1 sin (65)] ^2+ 2 (-9.8)* h[/tex]
=> [tex]h = 13.2 \ m[/tex]

What is reflection of light and its laws ?
Answer:
So, put simply, reflection is light bouncing off surfaces. The law of reflection determines how the light bounces off a surface. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Hope this helps..The law of reflection states that, on reflection from a smooth surface, the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of the incident ray. (By convention, all angles in geometrical optics are measured with respect to the normal to the surface that is, to a line perpendicular to the surface.

How much does a 20 kg rock weigh on Earth where g = 9.8 m/s2?
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{196\:N}[/tex]
Explanation:
Mass and weight ain't the same thing. So, for calculating weight we would use Newton's 2nd Law of Motion i.e. Force = Mass × Acceleration.
According to question,
The mass is 20kg
Acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2
Putting the given values into the formula,
F = 20 × 9.8
F = 196N
So, the weight of the rock is 196 N
Hope it helps!<3

A particle is moving with simple harmonic motion of period 8•0 s and amplitude 5•0 m Fine (A). The speed of the particle when it's 3•0 m from the centre of it's motion (B). The maximum speed (C). The maximum acceleration
Answer:
a. v(1.8) = -3.14 m/s
b. [tex]v_{max} = 3.925\ m/s[/tex]
c. [tex]a_{max} = 3.08\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
a.
The speed of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by the following equation:
[tex]v(t) = -A \omega \ Sin(\omega t)[/tex]
where,
v = velocity = ?
A = Amplitude = 5 m
ω = angular frequency = [tex]\frac{2\pi}{Time Period} = \frac{2\pi}{8\ s}[/tex] = 0.785 s
t = time
First we find time at 3 m by using equation for displacement:
[tex]x = 3\ m = ACos(\omega t)\\Cos((0.785 rad/s)(t)) = \frac{3\ m}{5\ m}\\t(0.785\ rad/s) = Cos^{-1} (0.6)\\t = \frac{0.927\ rad}{0.785\ rad/s}\\t = 1.18 s[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]v(1.8) = velocity at 3\ m = -A\omega Sin(\omega t)\\v(1.8) = -(5\ m)(0.785\ rad/s)Sin((0.785\ rad/s)(1.18\ s))\\[/tex]
v(1.8) = -3.14 m/s
c.
The maximum speed is given as:
[tex]v_{max} = A\omega\\v_{max} = (5\ m)(0.785\ rad/s)\\[/tex]
[tex]v_{max} = 3.925\ m/s[/tex]
The maximum acceleration is given as:
[tex]a_{max} = A\omega^2\\v_{max} = (5\ m)(0.785\ rad/s)^2\\[/tex]
[tex]a_{max} = 3.08\ m/s^2[/tex]

What happened to the supercontinents Columbia and Rodina?
They broke up and formed into the current land masses and
ocean floors.
The action of continental drift broke up Columbia an Rodina
into smaller continents.
The action of plate tectonics broke up Columbia and Rodina into
smaller continents.
They were formed before the process of plate tectonics began.
Explanation:
The choices aren't exactly correct. Technically, Rodinia pulled apart from tectonics, but then it slammed back together on the other side of the planet to form Pangea.
I guess C would be the closest correct answer.

what is the two kinds of solids in amorphous
Solids can be classified into two types: crystalline and amorphous. Crystalline solids are the most common type of solid. They are characterized by a regular crystalline organization of atoms that confer a long-range order. Amorphous, or non-crystalline, solids lack this long-range order.
