Physics

frozen [14]1 year ago
3 0

The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>

The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.


Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.


The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.

The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.

Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.

The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g•°C. Which equation would you use to calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the te
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Q = 0.75 g x 0.897 J/g•°C x 22°C

Explanation:

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance is given by the equation

Q=m C \Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the increase in temperature of the substance

In this problem, the mass of the aluminium is m=0.75 g. The specific heat of aluminium is C=0.897 J/g•°C, while the increase in temperature is

\Delta T=29^{\circ}-7^{\circ}=22 ^{\circ}

So, the equation becomes

Q = 0.75 g x 0.897 J/g•°C x 22°C

Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur? A. A column of air has a hei
ollegr [7]
The correct option is D.
Resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or an external force induces another system to vibrate at greater amplitude at particular frequencies. 
When a tuning fork is struck with another object, the tuning fork will start to vibrate as a result of the force that is exerted by the object used to struck it. This type of vibration, without direct excitation by a man is an example of resonance.

How much heat is needed to melt 16.5kg of silver that is initially at 20*c?
zubka84 [21]
The Specific Heat Capacity of silver is 230 J/kgK, melting point is 961.8 C so the difference is 941.8K. Now we simply do q=230J/kgK*16.5kg*941.8K and that is 3 574 131 J

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc
romanna [79]
To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows. 
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.
