When rock rises, they decrease in pressure causes hot mantle rock to melt and form magma. In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart.

Answer: volcanoes

Plate tectonics refers to the movement of the lithospheric plates horizontally over the asthenosphere. In divergent plate tectonics two plates slide apart from each other. In a divergent plate boundaries, the separation of plates along with the eruption of hot mantle resulting in the volcanic eruption.

A cannon is fired with an initial horizontal velocity of 20 m/s and initial vertical velocity of 25 m/s. After 3s in the air, th

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

60 m

Explanation:

After 3 seconds of travel at 20 m/s, the projectile is 3·20 = 60 meters horizontally from the cannon.

The vertical height after 3 seconds is 0.9 m, so the straight-line distance from cannon to target is √(60^2 +0.9^2) ≈ 60.007 meters.

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is

malfutka [58]

Answer: A) $6.38(10)^{6} m$

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia $I$ of a sphere is:

$I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2}$ is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

$m=5.98(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the planet

$r$ is the radius of the planet

Isolating $r$ from (1):

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}}$ (2)

Solving:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}}$ (3)

Finally:

$r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

Since strong nuclear forces involve only nuclear particles (not electrons, bonds, etc) items 3 and 4 are eliminated.

Again item 2 refers to bonds between atoms and is eliminated.

This leaves only item 1.

Nuclear forces are very short range forces between components of the nucleus.

Weak nuclear forces are trillions of times smaller than strong forces.

Gravitational forces are much much smaller than the weak nuclear force.

What two measurements are needed to determine density?

g100num [7]

Density is defined as (mass) per unit (volume). So in order to calculate
the density of a glob of some substance, you pretty much have to measure
its mass and its volume.

The specific heat of substance A is greater than that of substance B. Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equa

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)$

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

$c_{pA} > c_{pB}$
