Answer:

The lithosphere can affect the atmosphere when tectonic plates move and cause an eruption, where magma below spews up as lava above.

Explanation:

The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 10.0 s. At th

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

22 revolutions

Explanation:

2 rev/s = 2*(2π rad/rev) = 12.57 rad/s

The angular acceleration when it starting

$\alpha_a = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{12.57}{10} = 1.257 rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration when it stopping:

$\alpha_o = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.57}{12} = -1.05 rad/s^2$

The angular distance it covers when starting from rest:

$\omega^2 - 0^2 = 2\alpha_a\theta_a$

$\theta_a = \frac{\omega^2}{2\alpha_a} = \frac{12.57^2}{2*1.257} = 62.8 rad$

The angular distance it covers when coming to complete stop:

$0 - \omega^2 = 2\alpha_o\theta_o$

$\theta_o = \frac{-\omega^2}{2\alpha_o} = \frac{-12.57^2}{2*(-1.05)} = 75.4 rad$

So the total angular distance it covers within 22 s is 62.8 + 75.4 = 138.23 rad or 138.23 / (2π) = 22 revolutions

What is the direction of the magnetic field if an electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in th

Alex787 [66]

Given :

An electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in the positive z direction.

To Find :

The direction of the magnetic field.

Solution :

We know, force is given by :

$\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}$

Here, q = -e.

$\vec{F}=(-e)(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}\\\\\hat{k}=(-e)(\hat{i}\times \vec{B})$

Now, for above condition to satisfy :

$\hat{i}\times \vec{B}=-\hat{k}$

So, $\vec{B}=-\hat{j}$

Therefore, direction of magnetic field is negative y direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

$\Delta t = 0.1 s$

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

$T = 52 \times 0.1s$

$T = 5.2 s$

Help please due by 3:00

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is unchanging, its rate of change is zero.

The acceleration is zero.

How do you solve 0.004 dm + 0.12508 dm?

Effectus [21]

0.004 of something added to 0.12508 of the same thing
adds up to 0.12908 of it.

The thing could be a glass of water, a sheet of paper,
a pound of ground beef, a gallon of gas, or a snowball.
In this problem, it just happens to be a dm.
