Is the lithosphere part of the mantle or the crust? Explain.

Physics
1 answer:
gavmur [86]3 years ago
8 0

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.

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km

Answer:

C:

Explanation:

either C or A but A seems unlikely after multiple attempts. Although the question doesn't make it clear whether the balance is electric either way it could be wrong in someway and seems to be the most likely.

Isotope what is the meaning
Nesterboy [21]

Isotope means that a chemical element that has the same number of protons but neutron number differs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In isotope, the chemical element differs in neutron and nucleon number. Thus, different isotopes of a single component hold the same place in the periodic table.

Within the atom’s nucleus, protons are defined as an atomic number that is significantly equal to electrons in a neutral atom. An isotope of a given element has a different mass number. In general, every atomic number has a specific element, but in isotope, an atom may have a wide range of neutrons.

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals
torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be 1s^2

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.
