In the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents "hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks".

Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Heat rises occur and the hotter rock gets farther away from the Earth's overheated core it starts to chill out and continues to sink back towards the Earth's overheated center where it gets reheated and also the entire procedure begins again. It's what a current in convection is.

Convection currents are part of what keeps the Earth's atmosphere through global circulation. The convection currents contribute to conditions in the air and sea. Magma travels in convection currents at Earth's mantle. The hot cores heat the above substance, allowing it to rise to the crust where it cools.

Stels [109]

Answer:

4960 N

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration.

Given:

v₀ = 6.33 m/s

v = 2.38 m/s

Δx = 4.20 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(2.38 m/s)² = (6.33 m/s)² + 2a (4.20 m)

a = -4.10 m/s²

Next, find the force.

F = ma

F = (1210 kg) (-4.10 m/s²)

F = -4960 N

The magnitude of the force is 4960 N.

A 2,000 kg car starts from rest and coasts down from the top of a 5.00 m long driveway that is sloped at an angel of 20o with th
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the driveway is3.67m/s.

Explanation:

Height,h= 5sin20°= 1.71m

Potential energy PE=mgh= 2000×9.8×1.71

PE= 33516J

KE= PE- Fk ×d

0.5mv^2= 33516 - (4000×5)

0.5×2000v^2= 33516 - 20000

1000v^2= 13516

v^2= 13516/1000

v =sqrt 13.516

v =3.67m/s

Why does a gymnast rub powder on his hands before exercising on a set of parallel bars? (I need a scientific answer)
dlinn [17]

<u>Answer</u>

To increase friction for a better grip.

<u>Answer</u>

Most human beings do sweat hands especially on the palm. When this happens the person will not have a good grip of heavy objects because they will slide/slip from the hand.

<em>By applying the powder, you are trying to make the hand dry hence increasing the friction for a better grip. </em>

If the gymnast doesn't do this the parallel bars may slip from the hands and injure himself or herself.
