Answer:

To calculate the predicted surface elevation of a 50km thick crust above a surface of 2.5km we are given a density of 3 gram per centimeter cube.

The displacement of the material will be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation of 2.5 km from the 50 km thick crust. Therefore 50-25= 47.5 km.

Thus let the density of the material be Pm

50*3= 47.5*Pm

Therefore: Pm= (50*3)/47.5= 3.16gram per centimeter cube

Thus with an average density of 2.8gram per centimeter cube

50*2.8= (50-x)*3.16

(50-x)= (50*2.8)/3.16

50-x=44.3

x=50-44.3= 5.7

Answer:

 a)    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m  b)    λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

      d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

        tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

      d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

     d = λ  L / y

     d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

     d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

     λ  = d y / L

    λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

      λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

      λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Life cycle of a medium mass star
miskamm [114]

Our sun is a medium mass star, so it wouldn't be too different from the sun's life cycle. It is born, lives for about 10 billion years and then dies. ... As a medium mass star nears the end of its life, it runs out of hydrogen which it has been fusing onto helium in its core for its whole life.

What is Newton’s second law of motion
ddd [48]

"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way.  So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"<em>F = m·A.</em>  The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.

That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />
