Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The lithosphere is part of both the crust and the mantle.

It is the surface layer of the earth and also the most rigid layer. It is formed by the crust and the outermost part of the mantle. It is divided into two types: continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere.

The oceanic lithosphere has an approximate thickness of 50 - 100km, and the continental olithosphere of 40 - 200km.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

(A) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

(B) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

Explanation:

height of the insect (h) = 5.25 mm = 0.525 cm

distance of the insect (s) = 25 cm

radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞

radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = -12.5 cm (because it is a planoconvex lens with the radius in the direction of the incident rays)

index of refraction (n) = 1.7

(A) we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the image
f = focal length

but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{∞} -\frac{1}{-12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)(0 + \frac{1}{12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

now that we have the focal length we can apply $\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

(B) if the lens is reversed, the radius of curvatures would be interchanged

radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞

radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = 12.5 cm

we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the image
f = focal length

but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{12.5} -\frac{1}{∞} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)( \frac{1}{12.5} - 0)$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

now that we have the focal length we can apply $\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

1- What the relation ship between temperature and density of liquids?

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

1- Density increase as the temperature decreases. This is the reason why liquid water is more dense than solid water.

2- The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity.

3- not really sure for that one...I will think about that.

4- same reason for number 3

3) A bird flies toward a tree limb at a 45-degree angle to the ground along a path that is 50 m long landing on the limb. Determ

marin [14]

Answer:

35 m

Explanation:

Given :

The distance of the path from the ground to the tree limb = 50 m

The angle between the path of flight of the bird towards the tree limb and the ground = 45 degrees

Therefore we can determine the height above which the bird perched above the ground by using the rules of the trigonometric ratios as;

We know that ,

$\sin 45^\circ =\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypothenus}}$

$\sin 45^\circ =\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}$

$0.7 =\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{50}}$

$\text{BC }= 0.7 \times 50$

= 35

Therefore, the bird perched on the tree limb at a height of 35 m.
