Answer:

Explanation:

The Asthenosphere -- drives the movement in the plates

<em>It is a weak and flexible part of the upper mantle of the planet Earth.</em>

<em>It is located below the lithosphere. The depth of it is between 200 and 80 kilometers below the surface. It is usually solid but in some regions it is fluid. The temperature dictates the thickness of the Asthenosphere.</em>

The Core -- the hottest layer of the Earth.

<em>The inner Core of the Earth is a layer that's located in the core of it.  By definition, it is a rock-hard ball that has the radius of 1,220 kilometers, making it 20% of the Earth's radius and 70% of the Moon's radius. The samples are not discovered. It is believed that it has the composition of iron-nickel infusion along with other elements. The temperature is appx. 5430 °C, which is similar to the temperature of the surface of the Sun.</em>

Mesosphere -- contains the lower mantle

<em>By definition, it comes from the Greek word mesos, which means '' middle ''.</em>

<em>It is the third layer of the Earth. It is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. The higher the altitude,  the lower the temperature. It ends in the coldest part of the Earth, Mesopause. And it begins at the Stratosphere.</em>

Lithosphere -- contains the tectonic plates

<em>By the definition, it is also a word that came from the Greek language. It comes from the word '' lithos '' which means '' rocky ''.</em>

<em>It is a hard, outer part of the Earth.</em>

<em>On the planet Earth, it is made out of the crust of the upper mantle.  The rocks from the Lithosphere are elastic.</em>

<em>They are two types of Lithosphere -- the oceanic Lithosphere and Continental Lithosphere.</em>

What is the moment of inertia of a cube with mass M=0.500kg and side lengths s=0.030m about an axis which is both normal (perpen
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The moment of inertia I is

I = 2.205x10^-4 kg/m^2

Explanation:

Given mass m = 0.5 kg

And side lenght = 0.03 m

Moment of inertia I = mass x radius of rotation squared

I = mr^2

In this case, the radius of rotation is about an axis which is both normal (perpendicular) to and through the center of a face of the cube.

Calculating from the dimensions of the the box as shown in the image below, the radius of rotation r = 0.021 m

Therefore,

I = 0.5 x 0.021^2 = 2.205x10^-4 kg/m^2

A ball rolls onto the path of your car as you drive down a quiet neighborhood street. To avoid hitting the child that runs to re
ehidna [41]

Answer:

F = 7.143 kN

Explanation:

given,

time taken to apply break = 1.05 s

car slows down from 15 m/s to 9 m/s

mass of the car = 1250 Kg

force is equal to the change in momentum with respect to time.

F = \dfrac{\Delta P}{t}

F = \dfrac{m(v_f - v_i)}{t}

F = \dfrac{1250\times (9 - 15)}{1.05}

F = \dfrac{-7500}{1.05}

F = -7142.85 N

F = - 7.143 kN

Force is acting opposite direction of velocity of car i.e. the sign is negative.

The gravity on mars is 3.8 m/s2 and you weigh 200 N. your mass will be??
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Mass = 52.63 kilograms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration due to gravity = 3.8 m/s²

Weight = 200 N

To find mass;

Mathematically, the weight of a physical object is given by the formula;

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Substituting into the formula, we have;

200 = mass * 3.8

Mass = 200/3.8

Mass = 52.63 kg
