17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?

Physics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]4 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.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

A 40.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the c
GalinKa [24]

The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge will be,261.12N.

To find the answer, we need to know about the tension.

<h3>How to find the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge?</h3>
  • Let's draw the free body diagram of the system using the given data.
  • From the diagram, we have to find the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.
  • For that, it is given that the horizontal component of force is equal to the 86.62N, which is same as that of the horizontal component of normal reaction that exerts by the beam on the hi.nge.

                           N_x=86.62N

  • We have to find the vertical component of normal reaction that exerts by the beam on the hi.nge. For this, we have to equate the total force in the vertical direction.

                           N_y=F_V=mg-Tsin59\\

  • To find Ny, we need to find the tension T.
  • For this, we can equate the net horizontal force.

                           F_H=N_x=Tcos59\\\\T=\frac{F_H}{cos59} =\frac{86.62}{0.51}= 169.84N

  • Thus, the vertical component of normal reaction that exerts by the beam on the hi.nge become,

                    N_y= (40*9.8)-(169.8*sin59)=246.4N

  • Thus, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge will be,

                 N=\sqrt{N_x^2+N_y^2} =\sqrt{(86.62)^2+(246.4)^2}=261.12N

Thus, we can conclude that, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge is 261.12N.

Please help me with this question :
aalyn [17]

Answer:

  • 514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

  • 602.93 nm  ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

Explanation:

A) wavelength of visible light that is most strongly reflected from a point on a soap

refraction n = 1.33

wall thickness (t) = 290 nm

2nt = (2m +1 ) ∝/2 -----equation 1

note when m = 0

therefore ∝ =  4nt/ 1 = 4 * 1.33 * 290 = 1542.8nm we will discard this

when m = 1

equation 1 becomes

∝ = 4nt/3 =( 4 * 1.33 * 290) /  3 = 1542.8 / 3 = 514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

B) the wavelength when the wall thickness is 340 nm

∝ = 4nt / 2m +1

where m = 1

∝ = (4 * 1.33 * 340 ) / 3  = 1808.8 / 3 = 602.93 nm  ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color
