Is the temperature and density of Earth's crust high or low? Why?

Physics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.  The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth!  The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

Two students, standing on skateboards, are initially at rest, when they give each other a shove! After the shove, one student (7
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The other student (59kg) moves right at 7.44 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first student, m₁ = 77kg

mass of the second student, m₂ = 59kg

initial velocity of the first student, u₁ = 0

initial velocity of the second student, u₂ = 0

final velocity of the first student, v₁ = 5.7 m/s left

final velocity of the second student, v₂ = ? right

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(77 x 0) + (59 x 0) = (-77 x 5.7) + (59 x  v₂)

0 = - 438.9 + 59v₂

59v₂ = 438.9

v₂ = 438.9 / 59

v₂ = 7.44 m/s to the right

Therefore, the other student (59kg) moves right at 7.44 m/s

A 920-kg compact car moving at 92 m/s has approximately 3,893,440 Joules of kinetic energy. What is the change in kinetic energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Change in kinetic energy = 3297280 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 920 kg

Speed of a car, v = 92 m/s

Kinetic energy, K = 3,893,440 J

If the speed of a car, V = 36 m/s

Net kinetic energy is given by :

K_n=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\times (36)^2\\\\K_n=596160\ J

The change in kinetic energy = 3,893,440 - 596160

= 3297280 J

So, the change in kinetic energy of the car is 3297280 J.

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

A flashlight converts?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Energy conversion in flashlight.

Explanation:

When the switch of a flashlight is on, then the batteries inside them will be connected in a circuit and chemical energy from the batteries will be converted into electrical energy and then the electrical energy will be converted into light energy.

Light energy is also called electromagnetic energy.

Hence, among the given options the correct one is the first option that is:

1. Electrical energy into electromagnetic energy is the answer.
