Heat source is the answer
alexira [117]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A). Heat

Explanation:

Inside the Earth, the primordial heat left from the formation of Earth and the decay of radioactive isotopes in the crust and the mantle are the sources of flow of heat. This interior source of heat is responsible for the motion of the plates which leads to Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Internal heat is also used as a source of energy - geothermal energy for heating and cooking.

Thus, the Earth’s internal <u>heat </u>source provides the energy for our dynamic planet, providing it with the driving force for on-going disastrous events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and for plate-tectonic motion.

Alina [70]

Answer:

the correct statement is the first

The law of conservation of mass indicates the same amount of carbon will be found in the reactants as in the products.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy establishes that the masses are not destroyed, they can only be transformed.

Therefore the mass of carbon in the reactants (CO2 and H2O) must be in the products (glucose and oxygen)

so the correct statement is the first

The law of conservation of mass indicates the same amount of carbon will be found in the reactants as in the products.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across
Rina8888 [55]

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s

A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

The engine on a fighter airplane can exert a force of 105,840 N (24,000 pounds). The take-off mass of the plane is 16,875 kg. (I
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The acceleration you can get with that engine in your car is around 70,56 (\frac{m}{s^{2} }) or 7,26 (\frac{ft}{s^{2} } ) using 1500kg of mass or 3306 pounds

Explanation:

Using the equation of the force that is:

F=m*a

So, you notice that you know the force that give the engine, so changing the equation and using a mass of a car in 1500 kg or 3306 pounds

a=\frac{F}{m} =\frac{105840 N }{1500 (kg) }

a=\frac{105840 (\frac{kg*m}{s^{2} } )} {1500 kg }

<em> Note: N or Newton units are: \frac{kg * m}{s^{2} }</em>

a= 70,54 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Also in pounds you can compared

a= \frac{2400  lf }{3 306  lf}

Note: lf in force units are: \frac{lf*ft}{s^{2} }

a=7,26 \frac{ft}{s^{2} }

Susan and Hannah are each riding a swing. Susan has a mass of 25 kilograms, and Hannah has a mass of 30 kilograms. Susan’s swing
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Susan has mass, m = 25 kg

Velocity with which Susan moves is, v = 10 m/s

Hannah has mass, m' = 30 kg

Velocity with which Hannah moves is, v' = 8.5 m/s

<u>Kinetic energy of Susan:</u>

0.5 m v² = 0.5 × 25 kg × (10 m/s)² = 1250 J

<u>Kinetic energy of Hannah:</u>

0.5 m v'² = 0.5 × 30 kg × (8.5 m/s)² = 1083.75 J

Susan's kinetic energy is <u>1250 J </u>and Hannah's kinetic energy is <u>1083.75 J</u>.

Since kinetic energy is dependent on mass and square of speed. Thus, speed has a greater effect than mass. As it is evident from the above example. Susan has greater kinetic energy due to higher speed than Hannah.
