What does the geology of the two continents indicate about past events in Earth history?
Answer:
Explanation:
Rocks tell us a great deal about the Earth's history. Igneous rocks tell of past volcanic episodes and can also be used to age-date certain periods in the past. Sedimentary rocks often record past depositional environments (e.g deep ocean, shallow shelf, fluvial) and usually contain the most fossils from past ages.

Where;
θ = The angle with which the projectile is launched
x = The horizontal distance
u = The initial velocity of the projectile
g = The acceleration due to gravity = Constant
t = The time of motion
The acceleration acting on the projectile is the 'g' which is the constant acceleration due to gravity
Therefore, for general projectile motion with no air resistance, the vertical component of the projectile acceleration remains constant

Ron weighs a bottle with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a spring scale. The spring stretches by 1 centimeter. He then weighs a second bottle on the same spring scale. What is the mass of the second bottle, in kg, if the spring stretches by 2 cm
Answer:
1 kg
Explanation:
Applying,
Hook's law,
F = ke................. Equation 1
Where F = force, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension.
But from the question,
The weight of the bottle is the force acting on the spring scale
therefore,
mg = ke............ Equation 2
Where m = mass of the bottle, g = acceleration due to gravity.
make k the subject of the equation
k = mg/e............ Equation 3
Given: m = 0.5 kg, e = 1 cm = 0.01 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
k = (0.5×9.8)/0.01
k = 490 N/m
If the mass of the second bottle is weighed,
given: e = 2 cm = 0.02 m
subtitute into equation 1
m×9.8 = 490×0.02
9.8m = 9.8
m = 9.8/9.8
m = 1 kg.
Hence the mass of the second bottle is 1 kg
the answer is b :)

A uniform plank 4 m long is pivoted about its center to an angle of 30° with the vertical. What magnitude of force
must be applied 0.5 m from the pivot to maintain equilibrium with a 4 kg mass hanging from one end?
A. 80 N
B. 20 N
C. 40 N
D. 60 N
E. 100 N
Answer:
A. 80 N
Explanation:
Since the uniform plank is pivoted at its center at an angle of 30 to the vertical, then it is 90° - 30° = 60° to the horizontal.
Let L be the length of the plank = 4 m, the perpendicular distance of the 4 kg mass form the pivot point is Lcos60°/2. Then the moment of the 4 kg mass about its pivot point is mgLcos60/2 where m = mass = 4 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
Let F be the force applied at 0.5 m from the pivot point. The perpendicular distance of F from the pivot point is 0.5cos60°. Thus the moment of this force about the pivot point is F × 0.5cos60° = 0.5Fcos60°
Since both moments are the same for equilibrium,
mgLcos60/2 = 0.5Fcos60°
F = mgL/(2 × 0.5 m)
F = 4 kg × 10 m/s² × 4 m/1 m
F = 80 kgm/s²
F = 80 N

A magnetic compass is placed near an insulated copper wire. When the wire is connected to a battery and a current is created, the compass needle moves and changes its position. Which is the best explanation for the production of a force that causes the needle to move?
Explanation:
When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus, creating a force.
While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.

Ci. Voltage across 7.2 Ω (R₁) is 36 V
Cii. Voltage across 6.2 Ω (R₂) is 31 V
Ciii. Voltage across 8.6 Ω (R₃) is 43 V
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the number equivalent resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:
Resistor 1 (R₁) = 7.2 Ω
Resistor 2 (R₂) = 6.2 Ω
Resistor 3 (R₃) = 8.6 Ω
Equivalent Resistance (R) =?
Since the resistors are in series connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:
R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
R = 7.2 + 6.2 + 8.6
R = 22 Ω
B. Determination of the current.
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Resistance (R) = 22 Ω
Current (I) =?
V = IR
110 = I × 22
Divide both side by 22
I = 110 / 22
I = 5 A
Therefore, the current in the circuit is 5.
Ci. Determination of the voltage across 7.2 Ω (R₁)
Resistor 1 (R₁) = 7.2 Ω
Current (I) = 5 A
Voltage 1 (V₁) =?
V₁ = IR₁
V₁ = 5 × 7.2
V₁ = 36 V
Therefore, the voltage across 7.2 Ω (R₁) is 36 V
Bii. Determination of the voltage across 6.2 Ω (R₂)
Resistor 2 (R₂) = 6.2 Ω
Current (I) = 5 A
Voltage 2 (V₂) =?
V₂ = IR₂
V₂ = 5 × 6.2
V₂ = 31 V
Therefore, the voltage across 6.2 Ω (R₂) is 31 V
Ciii. Determination of the voltage across 8.6 Ω (R₃)
Resistor 3 (R₃) = 8.6 Ω
Current (I) = 5 A
Voltage 3 (V₃) =?
V₃ = IR₃
V₃ = 5 × 8.6
V₃ = 31 V
Therefore, the voltage across 8.6 Ω (R₃) is 43 V
A beaker containing water at 80°C is placed on a piece of aluminum at 25°C. How will thermal energy transfer? O by conduction from the aluminum to the beaker O by convection from the aluminum to the beaker O by convection from the beaker to the aluminum O by conduction from the beaker to the aluminum
The thermal energy transfer will occur by convection from the aluminium to the beaker.
Thermal energy can be defined as the energy held in a system that is accountable for the overall temperature of the system.
Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transferred from one material or substance to another.
Convection is the transfer of heat in the fluid medium. e.g when a fluid is heated, heat energy is transferred into the fluid which causes a rise in the temperature of the fluid.
Since water is a fluid medium, the thermal energy transfer will occur by convection from the aluminium to the beaker.

What is the normal force and gravitational force on a 55 kg person standing stationary?
Answer:
539.55 N for both
Explanation:
F=ma
Mass is given at 55kg
And when finding gravitational force gravity's constant is an acceleration of 9.81m/s
F=(55)(9.81)
F= 539.55 N (for both)
Normal force cancels out gravitational force that's why we don't fall throught the floor.
We push down on the floor due to gravitational force but normal force keeps us upright pushing an equal amount back.
The firing of a bullet by a rifle causes the rifle to recoil backwards. The speed of
the rifle's recoil is smaller than the bullet's forward speed because the___
A.)force against the rifle is relatively small
B.)speed is mainly concentrated in the bullet
C.)rifle has lots of mass
D.)momentum of the rifle is unchanged
Answer:c i.e. rifle has lots of mass
Explanation:It's because we know that the force of recoiling is same. But since the mass of rifle is very much greater than that of the bullet, it's balanced by the less speed of the recoiling of the rifle.

A small object is launched with a velocity 26.2 m/s at an angle 35.8 degrees above the horizontal from the top of a building with height 46.4 m. Air resistance is negligible during the motion of the object. How long (in seconds) does it take the object to reach the ground
Answer:
Explanation:
The angle here makes this a very interesting problem. We will use only the y-dimension information since we are given nothing pertinent in the x-dimension. Nothing there is useful to solving this problem. We are given (and know from experience) the following:
θ = 35.8°
v₀ = 26.2 m/s
Δx = -46.4 m
a = -9.8 m/s/s
t = ???
Time is our main unknown. The displacement is negative because, in the end, the small object will end up BELOW the point from which it is launched. That's important!!
Another thing we need to understand is that the velocity we are given is a "blanket" velocity; it is neither the upwards velocity nor the horizontal velocity. That's for us to find out using either cos or sin. In the y-dimension, we use the sin identity to find the upwards velocity (which is VERY different from the horizontal velocity {unless we are dealing with a 45 degree angle where sin and cos are the same}). So first we need to find the initial velocity in this dimension specifically:
26.2sin35.8 = 15.3 m/s
That's the initial velocity we will use in the problem now. The equation for this is:
Δx = v₀t + [tex]\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in the given info:
[tex]-46.4=15.3t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2[/tex] It looks like this will have to be factored if we are going to solve for t. Get everything on one side and factor the resulting quadratic:
[tex]-4.9t^2+15.3t+46.4=0[/tex] and factoring that gives you 2 values for t:
t = -1.9 sec and t = 5.0 sec
Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, t = 5.0 sec.
