Answer:

Mantle and core

Explanation:

The Mantle and Core are the two components within Earth experiencing convection. In several ways the mantle is significant. The one outcome of convective current is the creation of the fresh oceanic lithosphere around OCEANIC RIDGES, formed by mantle upwelling. Core is indeed the planet's innermost layer.

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

$|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23$

$\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}$

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of $41.81^{\circ}$ in the north of east direction.

A concave lens has a focal length of 20 cm. A real object is 30 cm from the lens. Where is the image? What is the magnification?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

12 cm and 0.4

Explanation:

f = - 20 cm, u = - 30 cm

Let v be the position of image and m be the magnification.

Use lens equation

1 / f = 1 / v - 1 / u

- 1 / 20 = 1 / v + 1 / 30

1 / v = - 5 / 60

v = - 12 cm

m = v / u = - 12 / (-30) = 0.4

heat engine operating between 100 °C and 700 °C has an efficiency equal to 40% of the maximum theoretical efficiency. How much e

ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

Theoretical efficiency = T₁ - T₂ / T₁ where T₁ and T₂ is absolute temperature of hot and cold end of the heat engine.

= 600 / (273 + 700 )

= 600 / 973

= .6166

operating efficiency = 40% of .6166

= .4 x .6166

= .2466 = 24.66 %

efficiency = work output / heat input

= 5000 / heat input = .2466

heat input = 5000 / .2466

= 20275.75 J .

HEAT EXTRACED = 20275.75 J.

A student wants to determine the coefficient of static friction μ between a block of wood and an adjustable inclined plane. Of t

Cloud [144]

Answer:

A protractor to measure the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal

Explanation:

The student needs to lift the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object barely starts sliding, and measure the angle at which such happens. At that point, the force of friction equals the component of the weight in the direction of the incline. That is:

$f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)$

and $w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)$

Then

$f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)$

and therefore, the coefficient of static friction is fully determined just by calculating the tangent of the angle that the incline forms with the horizontal.

Then the only extra instrument needed is a protractor to measure the angle.
