What process do scientists think is causing the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates? Name one other place where this process is occurring naturally.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

convection currents in the earth's mantle, heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. This causes the movement of the tectonic plates.

a 5.2kg bowling ball is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 12 m/s as the bowler covers 5.0m of approach before releasing the ball. what force is exerted on the ball during this time?

Answers

Answer:

74.88N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma................... Equation 1

Where F = force exerted on the ball, m = mass of the ball, a = acceleration

But,

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = distance.

Given: v = 12 m/s, u = 0 m/s (from rest), s = 5.0 m

Substitute into equation 2 and solve for a

12² = 0²+2×a×5

144 = 10a

10a = 144

a = 144/10

a = 14.4 m/s²

Also Given: m = 5.2 kg,

Substitute into equation 1

F = 5.2×14.4

F = 74.88 N

Hence the force exerted on the ball is 74.88 N

A 150 g pinball rolls towards a springloaded launching rod with a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the west. The launching rod strikes the pinball and causes it to move in the opposite direction with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. What impulse was delivered to the pinball by the launcher?

Answers

Answer:

  I = 1.8 N s,  it is directed towards the right  

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relationship between momentum and moment

         I = Δp

         F t = p_f - p₀

in this case the initial velocity is v₀ = - 2,0 m / s and final velocity v_f = 10,0 m / s, we assume the positive right direction

          I = m (v_f - v₀)

let's calculate

         I = 0.150 (10.0 - (-2.0))

         I = 0.150 (10 + 2)

         I = 1.8 N s

as the impulse is positive it is directed towards the right

7.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.

When we look at Jupiter, we're actually seeing the outermost layer of its clouds.

Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down.

Saturn's rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet,

9. Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star.

Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.

As an ice giant, Uranus doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.

Neptune has an average temperature of -353 Fahrenheit (-214 Celsius).

Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane.

The 500-N force F is applied to the vertical pole as shown(1) Determine the scalar components of the force vector F along the x'- and y'-axes. (2) Determine the scalar components of F along the x- and y'-axes.

Answers

Solution :

Given :

Force, F = 500 N

Let [tex]$ \vec F = F_x\ \hat i + F_y\ \hat j$[/tex]

      [tex]$|\vec F|=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$F_x=F \cos 60^\circ = 500 \ \cos 60^\circ = 250 \ N$[/tex]

  [tex]$F_y=-F \cos 30^\circ = -500 \ \cos 30^\circ = -433.01 \ N$[/tex]   (since [tex]$F_y$[/tex] direction is in negative y-axis)

[tex]$F=250 \ \hat i - 433.01 \ \hat j$[/tex]

So scalar components are : 250 N and 433.01 N

     vector components are : [tex]$250 \ \hat i$[/tex] and [tex]$-433.01\ \hat j$[/tex]

1.  Scalar components along :

 x' axis = 500 N, since the force is in this direction.

 [tex]$F_{x'}= F \ \cos \theta = 500\ \cos \theta$[/tex]

  Here, θ = 0° , since force and axis in the same direction.

So, cos θ = cos 0° = 1

∴ [tex]$F_{x'}=500 \times 1=500\ N$[/tex]

[tex]$F_{y'}= F \ \sin \theta = 500\ \sin 0^\circ=500 \times 0=0$[/tex]

[tex]$F_{y'}=F\ cos \theta$[/tex] but here θ is 90°. So the force ad axis are perpendicular to each other.

[tex]$F_{y'}=F\ \cos 90^\circ= 500 \ \cos 90^\circ = 500 \times 0=0$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$F_{x'}= 500\ N \text{ and}\ F_{y'}=0\ N$[/tex]

2. Scalar components of F along:

x-axis :

[tex]$F_x=F\ \cos \theta$[/tex],   here θ is the angle between x-axis and F = 60°.

[tex]$F_x=500 \times \cos60^\circ=250\ N$[/tex]

y'-axis :

[tex]$F_{y'}=F\ \cos \theta$[/tex],   here θ is the angle between y'-axis and F = 90°.

[tex]$F_{y'}=500 \times \cos90^\circ=500\times 0=0\ N$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$F_{x}= 250\ N \text{ and}\ F_{y'}=0\ N$[/tex]

If water is flowing in a 1-inch diameter pipe with an average velocity of 3 m/s and the wall roughness is 400 microns, calculate the wall shear stress.

Answers

Answer:

Shear stress  is 50.63 Pascal

Explanation:

As we know shear stress = [tex]\frac{\rho V^2 f}{8} \\[/tex]

Rho is the density

V is the velocity

f is the value from Moody's chart

We will know determine Reynolds number  to determine the flow type and then the f value

[tex]R_e = \frac{ \rho*V*D}{u}[/tex]

[tex]R_e = \frac{1000*3*0.0254}{0.001} = 76200[/tex]

This is a turbulent flow and hence the roughness index is [tex]\frac{E}{D} = 0.0157[/tex], From this we get f = 0.045

Now shear stress = [tex]\frac{1000 * 3^2 * 0.045}{8} = 50.63[/tex] Pa

What is the instantaneous velocity of the hummingbird at t=1s?

Answers

The distance - time graph of the humming bird is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the attached graph, at time t = 1 s, the corresponding distance is 0.5 m.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at that point.

Thus;

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5/1

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

An entertainer pulls a table cloth off a table leaving behind the plates and sliverware undisturbed is an example of
A.
the law of balanced forces
B.
Newton's second law
C.
Newton's third law
D.
Newton's first law

Answers

Answer:

D. Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of inertia says that an object will remain how it is, unless affected by an outside force. In this case, the plates want to remain stationary(not moving). Therefore, if you pull the table cloth fast enough, the force of friction produced will be small enough so that the Inertia of the plates will overcome the force of friction.

If the current of a circuit is 1.5 A, and the power is 24 W. what is the resistor?

Answers

Answer:

The resistor has a resistance of 10.667 ohms.

Explanation:

By Ohm's Law, voltage ([tex]V[/tex]), in volts, is directly proportional to the current ([tex]i[/tex]), in amperes, and by definition of power ([tex]\dot W[/tex]), in watts, we have the following formula:

[tex]\dot W = i^{2}\cdot R[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]R[/tex] is the resistance, in ohms.

If we know that [tex]\dot W = 24\,W[/tex] and [tex]i = 1.5\,A[/tex], then the resistance of the resistor is:

[tex]R = \frac{\dot W}{i^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]R = 10.667\,\Omega[/tex]

The resistor has a resistance of 10.667 ohms.

A student watches as a trash can lid moves across a yard. Which of these could have caused the trash can lid to move?

Answers

Answer:

wind energy

Explanation:

Wind energy can be defined as a form of a solar energy. It is generated by the immense force of the wind that blows in an area. Wind energy is a useful energy and is mostly used to generate electricity. It is clean source of energy.

In the context, trash can lid is being blown away by the wind energy and it is seen moving across the yard. The energy of the wind forces the lid of the trash can to move from one place to another against friction. Thus, wind energy caused the trash can lid to move across the yard as seen by a student.

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed ( u ) = 10 m/s

Final speed ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 4 seconds

To find : Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 10 ) / 4

= 10 / 4

= 5 / 2

a = 2.5 m/s²

Therefore,

The acceleration of the scooter is 2.5 m/s²
