Answer:

1) Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is 1.

2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth

3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4). Heat moves to the core

5) The process repeats as cycle.

Explanation:

Mantle convection is the gradual slow creeping of movement of the Earth's mantle which is as a result of convection current which transfer heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth .

The process of mantle convection start with

1. Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is and thus form the two component of the mantle.

2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth. This is as a result of accretion which is associated to sea flooding

3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.

4). Heat moves to the core, cools down by conduction and convection of heat.

5) The process repeats as cycle.

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by

aleksklad [387]

a) Average velocity: 2.8 m/s

b) Average velocity: 5.2 m/s

c) Average velocity: 7.6 m/s

Explanation:

The position of the car as a function of time t is given by

$x(t)=\alpha t^2 - \beta t^3$

where

$\alpha = 1.50 m/s^2$

$\beta = 0.05 m/s^3$

The average velocity is given by the ratio between the displacement and the time taken:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

The position at t = 0 is:

$x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0$

The position at t = 2.00 s is:

$x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m$

So the displacement is

$\Delta x = x(2)-x(0)=5.6-0=5.6 m$

The time interval is

$\Delta t = 2.0 s - 0 s = 2.0 s$

And so, the average velocity in this interval is

$v=\frac{5.6 m}{2.0 s}=2.8 m/s$

The position at t = 0 is:

$x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0$

While the position at t = 4.00 s is:

$x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m$

So the displacement is

$\Delta x = x(4)-x(0)=20.8-0=20.8 m$

The time interval is

$\Delta t = 4.0 - 0 = 4.0 s$

So the average velocity here is

$v=\frac{20.8}{4.0}=5.2 m/s$

The position at t = 2 s is:

$x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m$

While the position at t = 4 s is:

$x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m$

So the displacement is

$\Delta x = 20.8 - 5.6 = 15.2 m$

While the time interval is

$\Delta t = 4.0 - 2.0 = 2.0 s$

So the average velocity is

$v=\frac{15.2}{2.0}=7.6 m/s$

A hungry 169169 kg lion running northward at 77.377.3 km/hr attacks and holds onto a 31.731.7 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastw

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 75,242.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following parameters

mass of Lion (ML) = 169,169 kg

velocity of lion (VL) = 777,377.7 m/s

mass of Gazelle (Mg) = 31,731.7 kg

velocity of Gazelle (Vg) = 63,863.8 kg

mass of Lion and Gazelle (M) = 200,900.7 kg

velocity of Lion and Gazelle (V) = ?

The first figure below shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their direction.

The second diagram shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their directions rearranged to form a right angle triangle.

from the triangle formed we can get the velocity of the Lion and Gazelle immediately after collision using their momentum and Phytaghoras theorem

momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of the Lion = 169,169 x 77,377.3 = 13,089,840,463.7 kgm/s

momentum of the Gazelle = 31,731.7 x 63,863.8 = 2,026,506,942.46 kgm/s

momentum of the Lion and Gazelle = 200,900.7 x V

now applying Phytaghoras theorem we have

13,089,840,463.7 + 2,026,506,942.46 = 200,900.7 x V

15,116,347,406.16 = 200,900.7 x V

V = 75,242.9 m/s

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of solid core wire=r=2.28 mm= $2.28\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of each strand of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm= $0.456\times 10^{-3} m$

Current density of each wire= $J=3750 A/m^2$

a.Area = $\pi r^2$

Where $\pi=3.14$

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core = $3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2$

Current density = $J=\frac{I}{A}$

Using the formula

$3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}$

$I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A$

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire= $A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2$

$J'=\frac{I'}{A'}$

$3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2$

$I'=0.047 A$

b.Resistivity of copper wire= $\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m$

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R= $\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire= $R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of strand wire= $R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of

schepotkina [342]

If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!
