The theory of plate tectonics describes this process as a gradual movement of the tectonic plates across the Earth’s lithosphere

. Using the map of plate motion, predict where the continents would most likely lie 100,000 years in the future. South America and North America would become one continent. South America and Africa would be farther apart. Australia would move toward the South Pole. North America and Europe would be closer together.

Answer:

South America and Africa would be farther apart.

Explanation:

Continental drift is the displacement of the continental masses with respect to each other. With the development of plate tectonics, this motion could be adequately explained. Currently, America is moving westward from Africa and Europe. Therefore, in 100.000 years South America and Africa would be farther apart.

Betelgeuse is the bright red star representing the left shoulder of the constellation Orion. All the following statements about
Sav [38]

Answer:

Option A; ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Explanation:

A red supergiant star is a larger and brighter type of red giant star. Red supergiants are often variable stars and are between 200 to 2,000 times bigger than the Sun. Example is Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars, it has a diameter of about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles, it emits almost 7,500 times as much energy as the Sun, it has a rather low surface temperature (6000F compared to the Sun's 10,000F); this means that it has a more cooler surface than the Sun's surface.

This low temperature also means that the star will appear orange-red in color, and the combination of size and temperature makes it a kind of star called a red super giant.

Although, all the statements above are correct, the only one that can be inferred from the red color of Betelgeuse is that ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it
makkiz [27]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object m=5 kg

Distance traveled h=10 m

velocity acquired v=12 m/s

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J

Final Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}

=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}

where W_{f} is friction work if any

490=360+W_{f}

W_{f}=130 J

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .

Simora [160]
The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

irakobra [83]
The electric force between two objects can be understood by looking at Coulomb's Law. The law states that the electric force is directly proportional to the charges of the 2 objects, and inversely proportional as the square of the distance. This is shown below:

F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / d^2

Where: k = proportionality constant; Q1 = charge of object 1; Q2 = charge of object 2; d = distance between objects.

Given:

F = <span>3.0 × 10^-3 N
Q1 = </span>3.3 × 10^-8 coulombs<span>
Q2 = ?
d = </span><span>6.0 × 10^-2 m
</span><span>k = 9.0 × 10^9

Substituting:

3 x 10^-3 = (9 x 10^9 * 3.3 x 10^-8 * Q2) / (6 x 10^-2)^2
[(</span>3 x 10^-3) * (6 x 10^-2)^2] / [(<span>9 x 10^9) * (3.3 x 10^-8)</span>] = Q2
Q2 = 3.636 x 10^-8 coulombs
