False,

True,

A build up of positive charge builds up on the ground under the cloud, attracted to the negative charge in the cloud. The earth's positive charge concentrates to anything that sticks up - trees, lightning conductors,

Let surface S be the boundary of the solid object enclosed by x^2+z^2=4, x+y=6, x=0, y=0, and z=0. and, let f(x,y,z)=(3x)i+(x+y+

babunello [35]

a. I've attached a plot of the surface. Each face is parameterized by

• $\mathbf s_1(x,y)=x\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j$ with $0\le x\le2$ and $0\le y\le6-x$ ;

• $\mathbf s_2(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_3(y,z)=y\,\mathbf j+z\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le y\le 6$ and $0\le z\le2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_4(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+(6-u\cos v)\,\mathbf j+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ; and

• $\mathbf s_5(u,y)=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le\frac\pi2$ and $0\le y\le6-2\cos u$ .

b. Assuming you want outward flux, first compute the outward-facing normal vectors for each face.

$\mathbf n_1=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial x}=-\mathbf k$

$\mathbf n_2=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial v}=-u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_3=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial z}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial y}=-\mathbf i$

$\mathbf n_4=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial u}=u\,\mathbf i+u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_5=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial u}=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$

Then integrate the dot product of f with each normal vector over the corresponding face.

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_1}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}f(x,y,0)\cdot\mathbf n_1\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}0\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_2}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,0,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_2\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$\displaystyle=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=-8$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_3}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^6\mathbf f(0,y,z)\cdot\mathbf n_3\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^60\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_4}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,6-u\cos v,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_4\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=\frac{40}3+6\pi$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_5}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}\mathbf f(2\cos u,y,2\sin u)\cdot\mathbf n_5\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}12\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du=36\pi-24$

c. You can get the total flux by summing all the fluxes found in part b; you end up with 42π - 56/3.

Alternatively, since S is closed, we can find the total flux by applying the divergence theorem.

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

where R is the interior of S. We have

$\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(3x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y+2z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(3z)}{\partial z}=7$

The integral is easily computed in cylindrical coordinates:

$\begin{cases}x(r,t)=r\cos t\\y(r,t)=6-r\cos t\\z(r,t)=r\sin t\end{cases},0\le r\le 2,0\le t\le\dfrac\pi2$

$\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-r\cos t}7r\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dt\,\mathrm dr=42\pi-\frac{56}3$

as expected.

Which best describes the relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave?

sammy [17]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave would be the energy direction is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?

Anarel [89]

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.
