Where does the heat come from that drives this convection current in the mantle

marta [7]

Answer:

Earth's interior (Core)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of 3 distinct layers namely the Core, the Mantle and the Crust, which are divided based on their composition as well as density.

The core of the earth is extremely very hot where the inner core remains solid and outer core acts a liquid. It is mainly comprised of iron, nickel and other siderophile elements.

A large amount of heat (energy) is radiated from this core region towards the surface of the earth. Due to this, the mantle rocks forms magma that creates the convection currents, where the hot and less dense magma rises upward and the cool and denser magma sinks to the bottom. This occurs continuously, as a result of which the lithospheric plates are forced to move over the less dense layer of asthenosphere.

Thus, the heat energy that drives the convection current in the mantle is provided from the interior (core) of the earth.

A circular cylinder has a diameter of 3.0 cm and a mass of 25 g. It floats in water with its long axis perpendicular to the wate

Vilka [71]

Answer:

f = 5.3 Hz

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let's find the equation that describes the process, using Newton's second law

∑ F = ma

where the acceleration is

a = $\frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }$

B- W = m \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

To solve this problem we create a change in the reference system, we place the zero at the equilibrium point

B = W

In this frame of reference, the variable y' when it is oscillating is positive and negative, therefore Newton's equation remains

B’= m $\frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }$

the thrust is given by the Archimedes relation

B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

the volume is

V = π r² y'

we substitute

- ρ_liquid g π r² y’ = m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

$\frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2} + \rho_liquid \ g \ \pi r^2/m ) y' \ =0$

this differential equation has a solution of type

y = A cos (wt + Ф)

where

w² = ρ_liquid g π r² /m

angular velocity and frequency are related

w = 2π f

we substitute

4π² f² = ρ_liquid g π r² / m

f = $\frac{1}{2\pi } \ \sqrt{ \frac{ \rho_{liquid} \ \pi r^2 \ g}{m } }$

calculate

f = $\frac{1}{2 \pi } \sqrt{ \frac{ 1000 \ \pi \ 0.03^2 \ 9.8 }{0.025} }$

f = 5.3 Hz

A coil with an inductance of 2.3 H and a resistance of 14 Ω is suddenly connected to an ideal battery with ε = 100 V. At 0.13 s

klemol [59]

Given Information:

Resistance = R = 14 Ω

Inductance = L = 2.3 H

voltage = V = 100 V

time = t = 0.13 s

Required Information:

(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance

(c) energy is being delivered by the battery?

Answer:

(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field ≈ 219 watts

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance ≈ 267 watts

(c) energy is being delivered by the battery ≈ 481 watts

Explanation:

The energy stored in the inductor is given by

$U = \frac{1}{2} Li^{2}$

The rate at which the energy is being stored in the inductor is given by

$\frac{dU}{dt} = Li\frac{di}{dt} \: \: \: \: eq. 1$

The current through the RL circuit is given by

$i = \frac{V}{R} (1-e^{-\frac{t}{ \tau} })$

Where τ is the the time constant and is given by

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}\\ \tau = \frac{2.3}{14}\\ \tau = 0.16$

$i = \frac{110}{14} (1-e^{-\frac{t}{ 0.16} })\\i = 7.86(1-e^{-6.25t})\\\frac{di}{dt} = 49.125e^{-6.25t}$

Therefore, eq. 1 becomes

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (2.3)(7.86(1-e^{-6.25t}))(49.125e^{-6.25t})$

At t = 0.13 seconds

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (2.3) (4.37) (21.8)\\\frac{dU}{dt} = 219.11 \: watts$

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance

The thermal energy is given by

$P = i^{2}R\\P = (7.86(1-e^{-6.25t}))^{2} \cdot 14\\P = (4.37)^{2}\cdot 14\\P = 267.35 \: watts$

(c) energy is being delivered by the battery?

The energy delivered by battery is

$P = Vi\\P = 110\cdot 4.37\\P = 481 \: watts$
