About 80 percent of earth volume is made up of what?

About 80% of the earth's volume is made of mantle.

The mantle is a layer inside a terrestrial planet and some other rocky planetary bodies. For a mantle to form, the planetary body must be large enough to have undergone the process of planetary differentiation by density. The mantle lies between the core below and the crust above. The terrestrial planets (Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury), the Moon, two of Jupiter's moons (Io and Europa) and the asteroid Vesta each have a mantle made of silicate rock.Interpretation of spacecraft data suggests that at least two other moons of Jupiter (Ganymede and Callisto), as well as Titan and Triton each have a mantle made of ice or other solid volatile substances up of Mantle

Hope this helped.

Velocity (m/s)

alekssr [168]

Explanation:

⠀

(a) The segment A shows acceleration as velocity increases with the increase in time.

⠀

(b) The segment C shows the object is slowing down as the time increases in segment C, the velocity decreases and afterwards it comes to rest.

⠀

(c) The velocity is segment B is 40m/s. And in the diagram there is no change in velocity.

⠀

(d) The acceleration of segment B is zero. As there in no change in curve and it is moving with uniform velocity.

There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted s

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Option B

$a=19 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, $\omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061$

We know that speed, $v=r\omega$

Centripetal acceleration, $a=\frac {v^{2}}{r}$ and substituting $v=r\omega$ we obtain that

$a=r\omega^{2}$

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061 and r for 0.12

$a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}$

Rounded off, $a=19 m/s^{2}$

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure $\Delta P$ is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the internal energy

$\Delta Q$ is the heat transferred

$\Delta W$ is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

$\Delta W=P\Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P$ is the pressure (always positive)

$\Delta V$ is the volume variation of the gas

Here we have two possible results:

-If the gas expands (positive $\Delta V$ ), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative $\Delta V$ ), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V$ (3)

Clearing $\Delta Q$ :

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V$ (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat ( $Q$ ) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part will increase the internal energy, hence the temperature will increase as well.
