The convection going on with the magma in the asthenosphere

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.

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum

Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

What ions are formed when hcl dissolves in water?

Vlad1618 [11]

HCl is a strong electrolyte and when it dissolves in water it separates almost completely into positively - charged hydrogen ions and negatively - charged chloride ions. This aqueous solution is usually called hydrochloric acid.

A small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

An object dropped from rest from the top of a tall building on planet x falls a distance d(t)18 left parenthesis t right parenth

melamori03 [73]

displacement is given by equation

$d = 18t^2$

now at t = 5 s the position is

$d_1 = 18 *5^2 = 450 m$

similarly position at t = 9 s

$d_2 = 18*9^2 = 1458 m$

so the displacement of object in given interval of time will be

$d = 1458 - 450 = 1008 m$

time interval

$\delta t = 9 - 5 = 4 s$

now the average velocity will be given as

$v = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}$

$v = \frac{1008}{4} = 252 m/s$

so its average speed is 252 m/s
