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.

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s
