CRUST

The crust is the thinnest layer. It is the layer of the earth that we stand and walk on. It is more than 25 miles thick on land and 3 miles under an ocean.

MANTLE

The mantle is the layer directly below the crust. It is the thickest layer. It is divided into two parts the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is at the top of the mantle, the asthenosphere is at the bottom. Together they make up the mantle.

OUTER CORE

The outer core is directly under the mantle and right above the inner core. the outer core is in a liquid state.

INNER CORE

The inner core is hotter than the surface of the sun. It also is made of solid iron and nickel.

Complete Question

The diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The distance the block slides before stopping is $d = 0.313 \ m$

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the diagram in the question is shown

From the diagram the angle is $\theta = 25 ^o$

$sin \theta = \frac{h}{d}$

Where $h = h_b - h_a$

So $d sin \theta = h_b - h_a$

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m = 20 \ kg$

The mass of the pendulum is $m_p = 2 \ kg$

The velocity of the pendulum at the bottom of swing is $v_p = 15 m/s$

The coefficient of restitution is $e =0.7$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu _k = 0.5$

The velocity of the block after the impact is mathematically represented as

$v_2 f = \frac{m_b - em_p}{m_b + m_p} * v_2 i + \frac{[1 + e] m_1}{m_1 + m_2 } v_p$

Where $v_2 i$ is the velocity of the block before collision which is 0

$= \frac{20 - (0.7 * 2)}{(2 + 20)} * 0 + \frac{(1 + 0.7) * 2 }{2 + 20} * 15$

Substituting value

$v_2 f = 2.310\ m/s$

According to conservation of energy principle

The energy at point a = energy at point b

So $PE_A + KE _A = PE_B + KE_B + E_F$

Where

$PE_A$ is the potential energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$PE_A = m_b gh_a$ = 0 at the bottom

$KE _A$ is the kinetic energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$K_A = \frac{1}{2} m_b * v_2f^2$

$PE_B$ is the potential energy at B which is mathematically represented as

$PE_B = m_b gh$

From the diagram $h = h_b -h_a$

$PE_B = m_b g(h_b - h_a)$

$KE _B$ is the kinetic energy at B which is 0 (at the top )

Where is $E_F$ is the workdone against velocity which from the diagram is

$\mu_k m_b g cos 25 *d$

$\frac{1}{2} m_b v_2 f^2 = m_b g h_b + \mu_k m_b g cos \25 * d$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} * 20 * 2.310^2 = 20 * 9.8 * d sin(25) + 0.5* 20 * 9.8 * cos 25 * d$

$d = 0.313 \ m$

What is the Ultraviolet Catastrophe?

Sholpan [36]

The ultraviolet catastrophe was the prediction of late 19th century/early 20th century classical physics that an ideal black body (also blackbody) at thermal equilibrium will emit radiation in all frequency ranges, emitting more energy as the frequency increases.

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced 7.5 x

Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced $7.5 * 10^{-3}$ meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are Ï out of phase with each other (that is to say, Ao,- ). If you observe that on a screen placed 4 meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser?
