The movement of continents due to plate tectonics would occur over the longest amount of time, taking millions of years for significant changes to happen. This process is responsible for the drift and collision of continental plates, leading to the formation of mountains and ocean basins.

What would you do to impart the greatest momentum to an object?

To impart the greatest momentum to an object, you would need to apply the greatest force over the longest time interval. This can be achieved by increasing both the force and the duration of contact between the object and the force. This would result in a greater change in the object's momentum.


A change in a velocity in a certain amount of time is called?

That is called "acceleration". In symbols, that would be a = dv/dt; this means change in velocity divided by change in time, for a small time period.


Does the same amount of different material need the same amount of heat to have the same change in temperature?

No, different materials have different specific heat capacities, which refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that material by one degree Celsius. So, the same amount of different materials would not need the same amount of heat to achieve the same change in temperature.


What kind of transfer of one unit of energy must occurred?

For a transfer of one unit of energy to occur, energy must be transferred in the form of work or heat between systems. This transfer can involve a change in the internal energy of the systems or a change in the kinetic or potential energy of the systems. The amount of energy transferred would typically be quantified in terms of joules or other appropriate units.


How would the wavelength and frequency of a wave would change if the amount of energy it carried was increased?

If the amount of energy a wave carries is increased, the frequency would increase while the wavelength decreases. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave.
