The oceanic lithosphere is a layer on the Earth's crust that consists of rocks of the mantle.

<h3>What is the lithosphere?</h3>

The lithosphere can be defined as the outer rock layer present on the Earth's surface.

The oceanic lithosphere is composed of different rocks of the mantle such as, among others, gabbro and/or basalt.

The structure of the oceanic lithosphere is similar around the world because it is slender compared to the continental lithosphere and always determined by the supply of magma.

In conclusion, the oceanic lithosphere is a layer on the Earth's crust that consists of rocks of the mantle.

Find the magnitude of acceleration (ft/s^2) a person experiences when he or she is texting and driving 58mph, hits a wall, and c

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

$I=Ft$

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

$I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns$

water has an index of refraction of 1.33. What is the critical angle for light leaving a pool of water into air? 0 37 90 49

vesna_86 [32]

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index into a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum angle (called critical angle) for which all the light is reflected, so there is no refraction.

The value of the critical angle is given by:
$\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
when n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our case, n1=1.33 (the water) and n1=1.00 (the air). Putting numbers in, we get
$\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.33} )=49^{\circ}$
