Answer:

Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments.

Explain how the "natural frequency" of objects must be considered/analyzed in places like concert halls and airplanes.

hjlf

If you are talking about sound frequency you need to consider what area you are in because in a concert hall it is big and helps the sound spread but in an airplane it is the opposite.

If the mass of a planet is 0.231 mE and its radius is 0.528 rE, estimate the gravitational field g at the surface of the planet.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

$8.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational field at the surface of a planet is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$ (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For the Earth:

$g_E = \frac{GM_E}{R_E^2}=9.8 m/s^2$

For the unknown planet,

$M_X = 0.231 M_E\\R_X = 0.528 R_E$

Substituting into the eq.(1), we find the gravitational acceleration of planet X relative to that of the Earth:

$g_X = \frac{GM_X}{R_X^2}=\frac{G(0.231M_E)}{(0.528R_E)^2}=\frac{0.231}{0.528^2}(\frac{GM_E}{R_E^2})=0.829 g_E$

And substituting g = 9.8 m/s^2,

$g_X = 0.829(9.8)=8.1 m/s^2$

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 425 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

Alja [10]

Answer:

(a)Velocity of wind = 35 j

(b)Velocity of jet relative to air = 425 i

(c)True velocity of jet = 425 i + 35 j

(d)True speed of jet = $\sqrt{425^{2}+35^{2}}$ = 426.88 mi/h

Direction of jet is, ∅ = $tan^{-1} \frac{40}{425}$ = 5.38°

Explanation:

We can represent east direction by i and north direction by j.

The jet has a relative speed of 425 mi/h relative to the air.

The wind is blowing due north with a speed of 35 mi/h = 35 j

425 mi/h is the relative speed with respect to wind that is

Velocity of jet wrt wind= $V_{jw}$ = $V_{j}-V_{w}$

425 i = $V_{j}$ - 35 j

$V_{j}$ = 425 i + 35 j

(a)Velocity of wind = 35 j

(b)Velocity of jet relative to air = 425 i

(c)True velocity of jet = 425 i + 35 j

(d)True speed of jet = $\sqrt{425^{2}+35^{2}}$ = 426.88 mi/h

Direction of jet is,

∅ = $tan^{-1} \frac{40}{425}$ = 5.38°

Which is part of an AC generator?

Katen [24]

There is no such thing as an AC Generator, if its a generator, its DC. I think you are talking about an AC Alternator, in which case the answer would be -wrong answer, deleted-

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa

vovikov84 [41]

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,

F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
