Caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle rising, then cooling, sinking again and then heating, rising and repeating the cycle over and over.
It is the movements within the Earth's mantle caused by the heat of the core. The region where two or more tectonic plates meet.

1) D

2) D.) Greater than \theta_c

Explanation:

1)

The phenomenon of total internal reflection occurs when a ray of light hitting the interface between two mediums is totally reflected back into the original medium, therefore no refraction into the second medium occurs.

This phenomenon occurs only if two conditions are satisfied:

  • The index of refraction of the first medium is larger than the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
  • The angle of incidence is greater than a certain angle called critical angle

In picture 1, we have 4 different diagrams. In the diagrams:

  • The red arrow represents the incident ray
  • The green arrow represents the refracted ray
  • The blue arrow represents the reflected ray

Total internal reflection occurs when there is no refraction, therefore when there is no green arrow: this occurs only in figure D, so this is the correct option. (in figure C, there is a refracted ray but it is parallel to the interface: this condition occurs when the angle of incidence is exactly equal to the critical angle, however in this problem, the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, so the correct option is D)

2)

As we stated in problem 1), total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is equal or greater than the critical angle. Therefore in this case, the angle of incidence must be

D.) Greater than \theta_c

You throw a tennis ball straight up (neglect air resistance). It takes 7.0 seconds to go up and then return to your hand. How fa
sattari [20]

Answer:

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

Explanation:

Time taken by the tennis ball to reach maximum height, t = 0.5 x 7 = 3.5 seconds.

Let the initial velocity be u, we have acceleration due to gravity, a = -9.81 m/s² and final velocity = 0 m/s

Equation of motion result we have v = u + at

Substituting

             0 = u - 9.81 x 3.5

             u = 34.335 m/s

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

An orienteer runs 400m directly east and then 500m to the northeast (at a 45 degree andle from due east and from due north). Pro
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Final displacement with respect to the starting position is 832.37 meter

Explanation:

Lets consider that the orienteer start to run on the point of (0,0) point of a coordinate system. When he runs towards to east side about 400m, he will be at the point A(400,0). After he runs to the northeast (at a 45 degree angle from due east and from due north), approximately he will make 353.55 meter to east and 353.55 meter to the north side and he will be at the point of B(753.55, 353.55)

From the starting point total displacement will be 832.37 meter. Please check the attached graphical solution.

A battery is the power source for what type of current
patriot [66]

Answer: DC Current

Explanation:

Battery is a source of constant potential difference and it will create a constant voltage across any conductor

due to this constant voltage difference the current in this conductor will remain constant

So here since the voltage across the conductor is constant so we can say that current in the conductor will remain constant and hence this is known as DC current.

While for variable current in direction and magnitude is to be obtained only when the conductor is connected with AC voltage source as we know that AC voltage is variable with magnitude and direction both

A battery is the power source for DC type of current.  A battery is a source of constant potential difference that produces a constant current unlike in AC source where the voltage and hence the current changes its polarity continuously.Hence, the current produced by battery is direct current and not Alternating current.

Hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!! :D
