Answer:

<h2>Crust and outer part of mantle.</h2>

Explanation:

The lithosphere is the solid and outer part of the Earth. Includes the upper portion of the mantle and the crust, which are the outer layers of the Earth, that's why is commonly defined as the hard part of the Earth, refer to the image attached to see it better.

In addition, we could divide the lithosphere in two parts: oceanic and continental. The oceanic lithosphere is denser than the continental lithosphere and it's linked to the oceanic crust. All these parts comprehend the tectonic plates, which are the most known part of the lithosphere, because is most familiarize with their movements.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: Crust and outer part of mantle are the two parts that make up the lithosphere.

A projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched. which initial velocity will result
Serhud [2]

The required initial velocity that will result if a projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched is V₀ = V cosθ

First, we must understand that the component of the velocity along the vertical is due to maximum height achieved and expressed as usin θ.

The component of the velocity along the horizontal is due to the range of the object and is expressed as ucosθ.

If the <u>air resistance is ignored</u>, the velocity of the object will be constant throughout the flight and the initial velocity will be equal to the final velocity.

Hence the required initial velocity that will result if a projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched is V₀ = V cosθ

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

It took a bulldozer 62,000 J of work to move a rock 30 m. It took 5 minutes. How much force did the bulldozer have to apply?
NeX [460]

Answer:

A (2066,6 N)

Explanation:

Use the Work formula

62.000J = F . 30

62.000/30 = 2066,6 N

The amout of time it took to move the rock doesn´t matter at all.

It is called a distraction variable, We don´t need it to solve the problem it is there just to confuse.

Productivity increases when A. inputs increase while outputs remain the same. B. inputs decrease while outputs remain the same.
Blizzard [7]

Answer: Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately.

Explanation:

Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately. Input has to be directly proportional to output to be productive. This means increase in input to a system must leads to drastic increase in the output. When the output is not balanced with the amount of input, it leads to unproductivity.

Being productive can be business wise or in terms if personal growth and development.

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase
