A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F

ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed = 1.3 m/s in 61 ° north of east.

jogger one

$P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}$

$P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}$

$P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}$

$P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}$

$P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}$

now

P = P₁ + P₂

$P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}$

magnitude

$P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}$

$P =213.60 kg.m/s$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}$

$\theta = 21.87$

the angle is $\theta = 21.87$ north of east

A block attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.0 s. What is the period if

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by $\sqrt{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete. We proceed to present the complete statement: A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.00 s. What is the period if a. The mass is doubled? b. The mass is halved? c. The amplitude is doubled? d. The spring constant is doubled?

We have a block-spring system, whose angular frequency ( $\omega$ ) is defined by the following formula:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ (1)

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

And the period ( $T$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following expression:

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ (2)

By applying (1) in (2), we get the following formula:

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by $\sqrt{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

When must a psychological researcher debrief human test subjects?

myrzilka [38]

Psychological researchers must debrief human test subjects at the end of every experiment.

The current code of ethics in psychological research states that researchers absolutely must debrief human test subjects at the end of every study regardless or whether or not harm or deception was involved.

Debriefing a subject after a study is an essential opportunity for the researcher to explain the purpose and aim of the study to the subject, make sure the subject is not harmed or mentally disturbed, clarify why deception was used (if deception was involved) and overall, to clarify any questions or doubts the subject might have.

What does saliva begin to break down in the mouth? answers QUICK I will make you brainst !

Andrew [12]

An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb. Saliva also contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.
