Answer: Isostatic rebound

The weight of an ice sheet imposed on lithosphere in the continental block will cause the continent to sink in the asthenosphere due to isostatic rebound. The thickness of the ice sheet change with time as the sea level rise and the sinking of the lithosphere will continue until isostatic equilibrium is reached.

Answer:

Option C, increases and decreases

Explanation:

When an object making noise approaches you, the wave frequency increases leading to a higher pitch. Conversely, when it moves away from you or retreats, the wave frequency decreases leading to a lower pitch. This can be observed in ambulance sirens.

300 Jules energy are used to push an object with a force of 75N. what is the maximum distance the object can move?
Artyom0805 [142]

Energy consumed in doing the work = 300 Joules

Force applied on the object = 75 N

Let the distance moved by the object be d.

Work done by the force is determined by the force applied and the displacement happened in the direction of the force applied.

Work done = Force x displacement

300 = 75 x d

d = \frac{300}{75}

d = 4 m

Hence, the maximum distance moved by the object = 4 meters

calculate the average speed of an athele who runs a distance of 100m in 16 s and an additional of 400m in a 44s
Delvig [45]

Explanation:

speeds = distance/time

=100/16

=6.25m/s

second speed is;

400/44 =9.09

av. speed = total speed /n

= (6.25+9.09)/2

=7.67 m/s

A 0.150-kg metal rod carrying a current of 15.0 A glides on two horizontal rails 0.510 m apart. If the coefficient of kinetic fr
djyliett [7]

Answer:

B = 0.0307 T = 30.74 mT

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.150 kg

I = 15.0 A

d = 0.510 m

μk = 0.16

B = ?

Balancing the forces on the rod in the <em>j</em> direction

N - m*g = 0   ⇒   N = m*g

and in the <em>i</em> direction

I*d*B - μk*N = 0     ⇒      B = μk*N / (I*d)

⇒      B = μk*m*g / (I*d)

⇒      B = (0.16)*(0.150 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) / (15.0 A*0.510 m)

⇒      B = 0.0307 T = 30.74 mT
