17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?

Physics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]3 years ago
8 0

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 basketball player shoots toward a basket 5.3 m away and 3.0 m above the floor. If the ball is released 1.9 m above the floor a
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Vi = 8.28 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to the projectile motion.

As we know there are two components of motion associated with this, the horizontal component and vertical component.

The horizontal distance covered by the ball is

Vx*t = x

Vx*t = 5.3

Vx = 5.3/t  eq. 1

Also we know that

Vx = Vicos(60)

Vx = Vi*0.5  eq. 2

equate eq. 1 and eq. 2

5.3/t = Vi*0.5

5.3/0.5 = Vi*t

Vi*t = 10.6  eq. 3

The vertical distance is

Vy = y1 + Vyi*t - 0.5gt²

also we know that

Vyi = Visin(60)

Vyi = Vi*0.866

It is given that V1 = 1.9 m and and Vy = 3 m is the vertical distance

3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5gt²

3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5(9.8)t²

3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²

3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²

1.1 = 0.866(Vi*t) - 4.9t²

0.866(Vi*t) = 4.9t² + 1.1

substitute Vi*t = 10.6 in above equation

0.866(10.6) = 4.9t² + 1.1

9.18 = 4.9t² + 1.1

4.9t² = 8.08

t² = 8.08/4.9

t² = 1.648

t = 1.28 sec

Finally, initial speed can be found by substituting the value of t into eq. 3

Vi*t = 10.6

Vi = 10.6/t

Vi = 10.6/1.28

Vi = 8.28 m/s
