Answer:
D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)
Explanation:
A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).

Answer:
a. 
b. 
Explanation:
I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.
Forces applied to the solid disk include:
Other parameters given include:
Mass of solid disk, 
and radius of solid disk, 
a.) The formula for determining torque (
), is 
Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:
b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:
using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;
where 
= Mass of solid disk
and 
= radius of solid disk
We then relate the torque and angular acceleration (
) with the formula:
Answer:
15.4 kg.
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.
Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)
Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s
Substitute into equation 1
7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')
23.1 = 7.7+m'
m' = 23.1-7.7
m' = 15.4 kg.
Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
True is the correct anwser
Answer:
It is connected in series with the circuit
Explanation:
This is because to measure the current in the circuit, the current in the circuit has to flow through the ammeter. As such, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit so as to measure the current flowing through the circuit.
So, to measure the current flowing through a circuit with an ammeter, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit.
