The weight of an ice sheet can cause continental lithosphere to sink into the underlying asthenosphere due to ____.

Physics

6 0

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.

EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

In order to find out if the keys will reach John or not, we can use the formula of projectile motion to find the maximum height reached by the keys:

H = V²Sin²θ/2g

where,

V = Launch Speed = 18 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 40°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

H = (18 m/s)²[Sin 40°]²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

H = 6.83 m

Hence, the maximum height that can be reached by the projectile or the keys is greater than the height of John's Balcony(5.33 m).

Therefore, the keys will make it back to John.

How is frame motion used to measure motion
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

To describe motion accurately and completely, a frame of reference is necessary. frame of reference ( or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix ( locate and orient ) the coordinate system and standardize measurements within that frame.

Explanation:

The different observations occur because the two observers are in different frames of reference. A frame of reference is a set of coordinates that can be used to determine positions and velocities of objects in that frame; different frames of reference move relative to one another.

A large bottle contains 150 L of water, and is open to the atmosphere. If the bottle has a flat bottom with an area of 2 ft, cal
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Total pressure exerted at bottom =  119785.71 N/m^2

Explanation:

given data:

volume of water in bottle = 150 L = 0.35 m^3

Area of bottle = 2 ft^2

density of water = 1000 kg/m

Absolute pressure on bottom of bottle will be sum of atmospheric pressure and pressure due to water

Pressure due to water P = F/A

F, force exerted by water = mg

m, mass of water = density * volume

                             =  1000*0.350 = 350 kg

F  = 350*9.8 = 3430 N

A = 2 ft^2 = 0.1858 m^2  

so, pressure P = 3430/ 0.1858 = 18460.71 N/m^2

Atmospheric pressure

At sea level atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa

Total pressure exerted at bottom  = 18460.71 + 101325 = 119785.71 N/m^2

Total pressure exerted at bottom =  119785.71 N/m^2
