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.

What is 16.558 m/s rounded to three significant figures?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s

enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:

$p_i = p_f$

$m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

$v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s$

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}$

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:

$v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s$

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, $u_1(i)=10.5$ m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, $u_2(i)=0$ m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, $m_1=55.0$ kg

Mass of her brother is, $m_2=30.0$ kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

$v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79$ m/s

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s$

A 38.5kg man is in an elevator accelerating downward. A normal force of 343n pushes up on him. what is his acceleration?

alexira [117]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{343}{38.5} = \frac{98}{11} \\ = 8.909090...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
