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


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

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration o
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the Earth's surface of 3.40 times the Earth's radius, what is its acceleration d
Alchen [17]

Answer:

g = 0.85 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

g = \frac{GM}{h^{2} }

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x 10^{-11} Nm^{2}kg^{-2}), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x 10^{24} kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.

h = 3.40 x R

  = 3.40 x 6371 km

h = 21661.4 km

  = 21661400 m

Thus,

g = \frac{6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}  }{(21661400)^{2} }

  = \frac{3.9857 *10^{14} }{4.6922*10^{14} }

  = 0.84944

g = 0.85 ms^{-2}

The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 ms^{-2}.

24) a plane takes off at 7:00 pm and lands at 1:00 am after travelling a distance of 4818km. what is the minimum number of times
12345 [234]

Answer:

Twice

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Time between 7:00 PM and 1:00 AM: 6 hours

Distance: 4818km

Since the distance is 4818km, and the time is 6 hours, you divide 4818 by 6.

803.0000015999 km/h.

The average speed is 803 km/h

Which considering the ideal case scenario if the plane starts at 0 reaches the speed of 803 and the end reduces its speed from 803 to 0. This means we have come across the value of 800 at least twice. Hence, the plane was travelling at a speed of 800 km/h at least 2 times.

A car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2
