Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.

A car traveled 112.0m in 24.500s, what was a car’s average speed?

kodGreya [7K]

Average speed of the car is 4.57 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.

It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time

Here, distance = 112 m and time = 24.5 s

Speed of the car = 112/24.5 = 4.57 m/s

The magnitude of electrical force between a pair of charged particles is ____ as much when the particles are moved half as far a

Gnesinka [82]

The magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles is 4 Times as much when the particles are moved half as far apart.

This can be easily understood by Columb's law,

$F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

which state's that the amount of electrical force experienced by two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

∴ $\frac{F_{new} }{F_{old} } = \frac{Distance_{new}^{2} }{Distance_{old}^{2} }$

Now, we know the new distance is half the original distance,

$F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{\frac{r}{2}^{2} } \\F_{new} = 4\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$F_{new} = 4F_{old}$

The electrical force of attraction or electrostatic force of attraction between two charged particles refers to the amount of attractive or repulsive force that exists between the two charges. This can be calculated by Columb's Law.

A charged particle in physics is a particle that has an electric charge. It might be an ion, such as a molecule or atom having an excess or shortage of electrons in comparison to protons. The same charge is thought to be shared by an electron, a proton, or another primary particle.
