Answer:

lithosphere and asthenosphere

Explanation:

Lithosphere is the part of the earth surface which is rigid and hard. It consists of whole crust and the upper mantle.It comprises of number of plates called plate tectonic.

The asthenosphere is the Earth's upper mantle's extremely viscous, mechanically fragile and ductile area. This sits below the lithosphere, some 80 to 200 km below the ground at depths. The boundary between lithosphere and asthenosphere is commonly referred to as LAB.

Two blocks a and b ($m_a>m_b$) are pushed for a certain distance along a frictionless surface. how does the magnitude of the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the magnitude of the work done by the two blocks is the same.

Explanation:

The work done by block a on block b is given by:

W_a = F_a d

where Fa is the force exerted by block a on block b, and d is the distance they cover.

The work done by block b on block a is given by:

W_b = F_b d

where Fb is the force exerted by block b on block a, and d is still the distance they cover.

For Newton's third law, the force exerted by block a on block b is equal to the force exerted by block b on block a, therefore

F_a = F_b

and so

W_a=W_b

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

 h = 17 10⁶ m from surface of mars

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal gravitation

         F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

         a = v² / r

         G m M / r² = m v² / r

The speed module is constant, so we use the uniform motion ratio

        v = d / t

Where the distance is the length of the circumference and the time is the period of the orbit

         d = 2π r

         v = 2π r / T

We replace

          G M / r² = (4π² r² / T) / r

           r³ = G M T² / 4π²

Let's reduce time to SI units

          T = 24.66 h (3600 s / 1 h) = 88776 s

Let's calculate

         r = ∛ 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 6.42 10²³ 88776² / 4π²

         r = ∛ 8.5485 10²¹ m

         r = 2,045 10⁶ m

This is the distance from the center of the planet, The height, which is the distance from the surface is

        r = R_{m} + h

        h = r - R_{m}

        h = 20.45 10 6 - 3.39 106

        h = 17 10⁶ m

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

59cm

Explanation:

angular velocity = 0.8 rad/s

linear velocity = angular velocity * radius

                        =0.8rad/s * 5m

                        = 4 m/s

wavelength = (V + U)/F

where,

V is the velocity of the wave

U is the velocity of the source

F is the frequency of the source.

wavelength = (350 m/s + 4 m/s ) / 600 Hz

Wavelength = 0.59m or 59 cm

There are two different size spherical paintballs and the smaller one has a diameter of 5 cm and the larger one is 9 cm in diame
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

145.8 cm³ of paint

Explanation:

d₁ = Smaller diameter paintball = 5 cm

d₂ = Larger diameter paintball = 9 cm

V₂ = Volume of larger diameter paintball

Volume of smaller diameter paintball

V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3\\\Rightarrow V_1=\frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^3\\\Rightarrow V_1=\frac{4}{24}\pi d_1^3

Similarly

V_2=\frac{4}{24}\pi d_2^3

Dividing the above two equations, we get

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{d_1^3}{d_2^3}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{V_1}{\frac{d_1^3}{d_2^3}}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{28}{\frac{125}{729}}\\\Rightarrow V_2=163.296\ cm^3

∴ The larger one hold 163.296 cm³ of paint
