Because of the differences in physical properties, the lithosphere is effectively detached from the asthenosphere, allowing layers to move separately.

<h3>What is  Lithosphere?</h3>
  • The Lithosphere, the earth's powerful outer layer, lies over the weak Asthenosphere.
  • Under the lithosphere is the Asthenosphere, a hotter and weaker portion of the mantle.
  • The lithosphere is divided into roughly twenty-four smaller pieces, or lithospheric plates.
  • These plates are always moving.
<h3>What is the theory of plate tectonics?</h3>

According to the widely recognised scientific hypothesis known as plate tectonics, the Earth's lithosphere is made up of many sizable tectonic plates that have been steadily moving for nearly 3.4 billion years.

The frequency of a person's pendulum is 0.3204 Hz when at a location where g is known to be exactly 9.800 m/s^2.
wel

Answer:

A) g = 9.751 m/s², B)       h = 2.573 10⁴ m

Explanation:

The angular velocity of a pendulum is

           w = √ g / L

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

          w = 2π f

          f = 1 / 2π √ g / L

A) with the initial data we can look for the pendulum length

        L = 1 /4π²   g / f²

        L = 1 /4π²   9,800 / 0.3204²

        L = 2.4181 m

The length of the pendulum does not change, let's look for the value of g for the new location

        g = 4π² f²  L

        g = 4π² 0.3196²  2.4181

        g = 9.75096 m / s²

         g = 9.751 m/s²

B) The value of the acceleration of gravity can be found with the law of universal gravitation

           F = G m M / R_{e}²

And Newton's second law

           W = m g

           W = F

         G m M / R_{e}² = mg

         g = G M / R_{e}²

         R_{e}² = G M / g

Let's calculate

          R_{e}² = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ /9.75096

          R = √ 4.0905 10¹³ = √ 40.9053 10¹²

          R = 6.395726 10⁶ m

The height above sea level is

         h = R - [tex]R_{e}[/tex

         h = (6.395726 -6.37) 10⁶

         h = 0.0257256 106

         h = 2.573 10⁴ m

What is the average speed of an object with a total distance traveled of 45 meters in 50 seconds
Anettt [7]

Answer: 0.9m/s

Explanation:

Use equation for speed:

V=S/t

S-distance; S=45m

t-time; t=50 s

V=S/t

V=45m/50s

V=0.9 m/s
