The athenosphere and/or mantel are constantly moving. the plates lie on them. The movement s are very small so we do not feel them. thats all i can say for now.

What is the average power output pf a weight lifter who can lift 250 kg 2.0 m in 2.0 s
liq [111]

Answer:

Power = 2.45Kw or 2450 Watts.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, m = 250kg

Height, h = 2m

Time, t = 2secs

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8m/s²

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Power = \frac {250*9.8*2}{2}

Power = \frac {4900}{2}

Power = 2450 Watts

To convert to kilowatt (Kw), we would divide by 1000

Power = 2450/1000

Power = 2.45Kw.

Therefore, the average power output of the weightlifter is 2.45 Kilowatts.

What must be true about two objects if heat is flowing between them?
netineya [11]

Answer:

The objects must be different temperatures.

Explanation:

For heat to flow between two objects, heat must be flowing between them. The thermal gradient allows for the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy that is dissipated from one place to another based on temperature difference.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of body. It is power by heat energy between two bodies.

Heat generally flows from a body at high temperature to one at low temperature. When thermal equilibrium is established and both bodies have the same temperature, heat will stop to flow.

A monatomic gas is adiabatically compressed to 0.250 of its initial volume. Do each of the following quantities change?
Len [333]

Answer:

Given that

V2/V1= 0.25

And we know that in adiabatic process

TV^န-1= constant

So

T1/T2=( V1 /V2)^ န-1

So = ( 1/0.25)^ 0.66= 2.5

Also PV^န= constant

So P1/P2= (V2/V1)^န

= (1/0.25)^1.66 = 9.98

A. RMS speed is

Vrms= √ 3RT/M

But this is also

Vrms 2/Vrms1= (√T2/T1)

Vrms2=√2.5= 1.6vrms1

B.

Lambda=V/4π√2πr²N

So

Lambda 2/lambda 1= V2/V1 = 0.25

So the mean free path can be inferred to be 0.25 times the first mean free path

C. Using

Eth= 3/2KT

So Eth2/Eth1= T2/T1

So

Eth2= 2.5Eth1

D.

Using CV= 3/2R

Cvf= Cvi

So molar specific heat constant does not change

Hans Selye’s general adaptation syndrome theory proposes that adaptation to stress occurs in how many stages?
ANTONII [103]

<u>Answer:</u>

Adaption to stress occurs in three stages: alarm, fight or flight, exhaustion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the general adaptation syndrome theory proposed by Hans Selye, the adaption to stress occurs in three stages which are:

1. alarm

2. fight or flight

3. exhaustion

This is a process which comprises of three stages that describes the physiological changes which a body undergoes when in stress (an emotional, mental and physical human response to a specific stimulus).
