Convection cells in the mantle drive movements of the plates. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

Andy Petite pitches a 0.8 kg baseball with a velocity of 67 m/s. Josh Hamilton
kodGreya [7K]

The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

To solve the problem above, we use the formula of impulse.

⇒ Formula:

  • I = m(v-u)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Impulse delivered to the baseball
  • m = mass of the baseball
  • v = Final velocity of the baseball
  • u = initial speed of the baseball

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 0.8 kg
  • u = 67 m/s
  • v = -44 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 0.8(-44-67)
  • I = 0.8(-111)
  • I = -88.8
  • I ≈ -89 kgm/s

Note: The negative tells that the impulse is in the same direction as the final velocity and therefore can be ignored.

Hence, The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

According to Galileo, this quantity is not needed to keep a body in motion under ideal conditions.
Sergio [31]
This condition is called Galileo's Law of Inertia which states that all bodies accelerate at the smart rate , no matter what are their masses or size. Inertia is that tendency of matter to resist changes in its velocity.  <span>Isaac Newton's first law of motion captures the concept of inertia. </span>

Why does static friction have a maximum value​
Naddik [55]

Answer:

If you push horizontally with a small force, static friction establishes an equal and opposite force that keeps the book at rest. As you push harder, the static friction force increases to match the force. Eventually maximum static friction force is exceeded and the book moves.

Two children are balanced on a seesaw that has a mass of 18.0 kg. The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1.28 m

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram attached,

According to the principle of moment,

For a body at equilibrium,

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Taking moment about the pivot,

W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1

Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.

But,

W = mg

Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body

Therefore,

W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,

Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N

W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N

Substitute these values into equation 1

(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)

407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x

337.12x = 431.1412

x = 431.1412/337.12

x = 1.2789

x ≈ 1.28 m

A mover applies a net force of 28 N to a sofa that has a mass of 70 kg.
Alinara [238K]

Answer: .4 m/s^2= acceleration

Explanation:

f = m*a

We can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration. Therefore,

a=f/m

a= 28N/70kg

a= 0.4 m/s^2
