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 1-kg discus is thrown with a velocity of 19 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees from the vertical direction. calculate the vertical

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Vx = 10.9 m/s , Vy = 15.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given velocity V= 19 m/s

the angle 35 ° is taken from Y-axis so the angle with x-axis will be 90°-35° = 55°

θ = 55°

to Find Vx = ? and Vy= ?

Vx = V cos θ

Vx = 19 m/s × cos 55°

Vx = 10.9 m/s

Vx = V sin θ

Vy = 19 m/s × sin 55°

Vy = 15.6 m/s

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

Known:

R = 10.0 Ω

V = 12.0 V

Unknown:

I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

Density of water is 1000kg/m3. Find out the amount of mass of 5m3 water

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

5000 m³

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

mass = density × volume

mass = 1000 × 5

mass = 5000 ( kg )

When a 0.350-kg package is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The package is now di

AleksandrR [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

$F=kx$

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

$k= \frac{F}{x}$

$k= \frac{mg}{x}$

$k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}$

$k = 28.58N/m$

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}$

$T = 0.685s$

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s
