<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is</u><u> (B)mantle convection</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Tectonic plates at the earth's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. this heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell and producing a movement called mantle convection which is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate.

When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o
slega [8]
We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb. 
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3 
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3 
= 19076.6 cm^3  

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

What’s the answer to 12
Schach [20]

Speed is v = d/t

Or speed is distance over time

So...

40min / 60min = 0.6667 or 2/3 --> Finding what proportion 40 minutes is to an hour or 60 minutes as we need the units of hours to match up

45km/h = d/0.6667h

d = (45)(0.667)

d = 30.0015 or 30km

kumpel [21]

Answer:

λ = 596 nm.

Explanation:

Fringe width = λ D / d

λ is wave length , D is screen distance and d is slit separation.

Putting the values

1.62 x 10⁻² =(  λ x 5.3 ) / .195 x 10⁻³

\lambda=\frac{1.62\times10^{-2}\times195\times10^{-6}}{5.3}

λ = 596 nm.
