The ability of solid rock to flow is called Plasticity.

Plasticity is the deformation of a solid mateial which resulted in non reversible changes of shape in response to applied force.

Another example of plasticity is when you bend metal through a forcer force to create an art or kitchen set

What is the difference in Neil Armstrong’s weight on the moon and on earth? Neils mass is 160kg including his spacesuit and back

Len [333]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Neil Armstrong = 160kg

Gravitational pull of earth = 10N/kg

Moon's pull = 17% of the earth's pull

Unknown:

Difference between Armstrong's weight on moon and on earth.

Solution:

To find the weight,

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = mg

Moon's gravitational pull = 17% of the earth's pull = 17% x 10 = 1.7N/kg

Weight on moon = 160 x 1.7 = 272N

Weight on earth = 160 x 10 = 1600N

The difference in weight = 1600 - 272 = 1328N

The weight of Armstrong on earth is 1328N more than on the moon.

a cylindrical jar is 10cm long and has a cross sectional area of 36cm. if it is completely filled with a fluid of relative densi

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The mass of the fluid is 72 g.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 cm

Area of cross section (A) = 36cm²

Relative density = 0.2

Mass =..?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Volume = Area x Height

Volume = 36 x 10

Volume = 360 cm³

Next, we shall determine the density of the liquid.

This can be obtained as follow:

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

Relative density = 0.2

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid =...?

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

0.2 = density of fluid / 1 g/cm³

Cross multiply

Density of fluid = 0.2 x 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Finally, we shall determine the mass of fluid as follow:

Volume = 360 cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Mass of fluid =...?

Density = mass /volume.

0.2 g/cm³ = mass of fluid /360 cm³

Cross multiply

Mass of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³ x 360 cm³

Mass of fluid = 72 g

Therefore, the mass of the fluid in the jar is 72 g.

Timed! I would really appreciate some help! thank you!

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

$t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\$

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

$v=x/t$

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

$x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]$

why can light from the sun cause skin cancer but the light from a light bulb cannot cause skin cancer?

meriva

Answer:

Damage from UV exposure is cumulative and increases your skin cancer risk over time. While your body can repair some of the DNA damage in skin cells, it can't repair all of it. The unrepaired damage builds up over time and triggers mutations that cause skin cells to multiply rapidly. That can lead to malignant tumors.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:

netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.
