<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.

mezya [45]

Answer:

Both the frequency f and velocity v will increase.

When the radius reduces, the circumference of the circular path becomes smaller which means that more number of revolutions can be made per unit time as long as the force is kept constant; this is an increase in frequency.

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on a mass in circular motion is given by equation (1);

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}....................(1)

where m is the mass of the object and r is radius of the circle. From equation one we see that the centripetal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity and inversely proportional to the radius of the circular path.

However, according to the problem, the force is constant while the radius and the velocity changes. Therefore we can write the following equation;

\frac{mv_1^2}{r_1}=\frac{mv_2^2}{r_2}......................(2)

Also recall that m is constant so it cancels out from both sides of equation (2). Therefore from equation we can write the following;

v_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1^2r_2}{r_1}} .................(2)

By observing equation (2) carefully, the ratio \frac{r_2}{r_1} will with the square root increase v_1 since r_2 is lesser than r_1.

Hence by implication, the value of v_2 will be greater than v_1.

As the radius changes from r_1 to r_2, the velocity also changes from v_1 to v_2.

For a spacecraft or a molecule to leave the moon, it must reach the escape velocity (speed) of the moon, which is 2.37 km/s. The
guapka [62]

Answer:

Vrms = 291 m/s

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity or vrms is the square root of the average square velocity and is. vrms=√3RTM. Where M is equal to the molar mass of the molecule in kg/mol.

Temperature = 365 K

Root mean square velocity = ?

molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol.

But xygen gas (O2) is comprised of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore:

   molar mass of O2 = 2 x 16

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

   Convert this to kg/mol:

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol x 1 kg/1000 g

   molar mass of O2 = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Vrms = √[3(8.3145 (kg·m2/sec2)/K·mol)(365 K)/3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol]

Vrms = 291 m/s

A pulling force is called what?<br> A. normal<br> B. tension<br> C. balanced<br> D. compression
joja [24]
<span>There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".
I hoped this was satisfying!:)</span>
