<h2>Answer: The layers of Earth are uniform in thickness</h2>

Earth's layers have different thicknesses and do not have a uniform average composition, being the crust (the outermost zone of the concentric structure of the geosphere and the layer in which we live) considered thinner with a variable thickness; from 5 km on the ocean floor, up to 70 km in the mountainous areas of the continents.

Therefore the statement <em>"The layers of Earth are uniform in thickness"</em> is false.

A crane uses a block and tackle to lift a 2200N flagstone to a height of 25m
Cloud [144]

Remember the headline:  ENERGY IS NEVER CREATED OR DESTROYED

The amount of energy before and after are always equal.  All we ever do with energy is move it around from one place to another.

a). A crane can't create energy.  Lifting the same rock in 20 different ways always takes the <u><em>same amount of work</em></u>.  It doesn't matter whether one person picks the rock straight up, or 50 people get around it and lift it, or roll it up a ramp, or lift it with 16 pulleys and a mile of rope, or use a giant steam crane.

You want to lift a 2200N weight up 25m, you're going to have to supply

(2200N) x (25m) = <em>55,000 Joules</em> of work.

c). YOU put out 55,000 Joules of energy.  It had to GO someplace. Where is it now ? ===>  It's the potential energy the rock has now, from being 25m higher than it was before.  That <em>55,000 Joules</em> is NOW the potential energy  of the rock.

No energy was created or destroyed.  It just got moved around.  

55,000 Joules of energy began as nuclear energy in the core of the sun. Solar radiation carried it to the Earth. Plants absorbed it, and stored it as chemical energy.  You ... or a cow that you ate later ... ate the plants and took the chemical energy.  One way or the other, the chemical energy got stored in your blood and fat.  When you needed to put it out somewhere, you moved it into your muscles, and they converted it into mechanical energy.  Then you used the mechanical energy to exert forces.  Today, you used the original 55,000 joules to lift the flagstone, and NOW that energy is in the flagstone, 25 meters up off the ground !

You have negotiated with the Omicronians for a base on the planet Omicron Persei 7. The architects working with you to plan the
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

5.724 meters / second^2

Explanation:

We are given two pieces of information, 5.24 flurg = 1 meter, 1 grom = 0.493 second. If that is so, we can say that there are two possible conversion units,  5.25 flurg / meter, and 0.493 second / grom.

_____

We want to convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 ( I believe? ) to the units meters / second^2. But, let's break this down into bits. It would be convenient to first convert 7.29 flurg / grom^2 to the units meters / grom^2, by dividing the conversion factors as to cancel out the appropriate things, which we will go into detail on a bit later ( using the first conversion factor ). Respectively we can convert meters / grom^2 to meters / grom * s, canceling out the flurg ( through the second conversion factor ). And now we would need to get rid of the grom, dividing similarly.

_____

( 1 ) ( flurg / grom^2 ) / ( flurg / meters  ) - first conversion unit

= flurg / grom^2 * meters /flurg

= ( meters * flurg ) / ( grom^2 * flurg )  

= meters /grom^2,

7.29 flurg / grom^2 / 5.24 flurg / meter = ( About ) 1.39 meter / grom^2

( 2 ) ( meter / grom^2 ) / ( second / grom  ) - second conversion unit

= meter / grom^2 * grom / second

= ( meter * grom ) / ( grom^2 * second )

= meter / ( grom * second ),

( 1.39 meter / grom^2 ) / 0.493 second / grom = ( About ) 2.82195 meter /  grom * second

( 3 ) ( 2.82195 meter / ( grom * second ) ) / 0.493 second / grom = 5.724 meter / second^2

( And thus, the value of gOP7 in the units the architects will use should be about 5.724 meters / second^2 )

In a circus act, an acrobat rebounds upward from the surface of a trampoline at the exact moment that another acrobat, perched 9
slega [8]

Answer:

1.6 secs

Explanation:

In a circus act, an acrobat upwards from the surface of a trampoline

At that same moment another acrobat perched 9.0m above him

A ball is released from rest

While still in motion the acrobat catches the ball

He left the ball with a trampoline of 5.6m/s

Since the ball is falling downwards from a distance then acceleration will be negative

a= -9.8

s= d

s= 1/2at^2

= 1/2 × (-9.8)t^2

= 0.5× (-9.8)t^2

d = -4.9t^2

Therefore the time the acrobat stays in the air before catching the ball can be calculated as follows

9 - 4.9t^2= 5.6t + 1/2(-9.8)t^2

9 - 4.9t^2= 5.6t + (-4.9)t^2

9 - 4.9t^2= 5.6t - 4.9t^2

9= 5.6t

t= 9/5.6

t= 1.6 secs

The amount of pressure required to move a 6800 lb force with a 6" d piston is ___ psi.
Katena32 [7]
The pressure needed in PSI = Pounds of force needed divided by the cylinder Area
The Cylinder rod Area is 21.19  sq inches
Thus, the pressure= 6800/21.19
                              = 320.91 PSI

A camera gives a proper exposure when set to a shutter speed of 1/250 s at f-number F8.0. The photographer wants to change the s
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

F4.0

Explanation:

To obtain a shutter speed of 1/1000 s to avoid any blur motion the f-number should be changed to F4.0 because the light intensity goes up by a factor of 2 when the f-number is decreased by the square root of 2.
