Answer:

The mantle

Explanation:

The mantle is a plastic solid of varying densities which allow convection currents to flow molten rock towards the earth's surface resulting in volcanic activity, tectonic plate movement, earthquakes, and movement of continents.

A girl drops a stone from the top a tower 45m tall. At the same time, a boy standing at the base of the tower, projects another

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(i) The stones meet at 1.8 second

(ii) The point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

Explanation:

(i)

First we consider the stone dropped by the girl. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 0 m/s (Since the stone was initially at rest)

t = Time Period

g = 10 m/s²

s₁ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₁ = (0)(t) + (0.5)(10)t²

s₁ = 5t² ----- equation (1)

Now, we consider the stone throne vertically upward by the boy. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 25 m/s

t = Time Period

g = - 10 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

s₂ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₂ = (25)(t) + (0.5)(-10)t²

s₂ = 25t - 5t² ----- equation (2)

At, the point where both the stones meet, the sum of distances covered by both stones must be equal to the height of building (i.e 45 m).

s₁ + s₂ = 45

using values from equation (1) and equation (2)

5t² + 25t - 5t² = 45

25t = 45

t = 45/25

t = 1.8 sec

(ii)

using this value of of t in equation (2)

s₂ = (25)(1.8) - (5)(1.8)²

s₂ = 28.8 m

using this value of of t in equation (1)

s₁ = (5)(1.8)²

s₁ = 16.2 m

Hence, the point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

The multi-link mechanism in the Variable Compression Turbo Engine _____, thus varying the compression ratio.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

A. Adjusts how far down the piston travels

Explanation:

This type of engine changes the possition of the piston in order to modify the compression chamber volume and therefore the compression ratio of the engine. The volume of the chamber is proportional to the run of the piston (how far down the piston travels)

This engine is used to achive the optimal compression rate in each individual stage.

The auto in the sketch moves forward as the brakes are applied. A bystander says that during the interval of braking, the auto's

Ivan

Answer:

The statement is true: velocity and acceleration have opposite directions in the interval of braking.

Explanation:

Let's say we have a velocity $v>0$ .

The acceleration $a$ is the rate of change of the velocity $v$ . This means that if $v$ is increasing during time, then $a$ must be positive. But if $v$ is decreasing over time, then $a$ will be negative (even though the velocity is positive).
