This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

Study the image of the Earth's layer which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of earths layers

A. Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust.

B. Earth’s outer core is thicker than its mantle.

C. Earth’s continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

D. Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

The answer to this question is D. Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The image shows the different layers that are part of Earth, as well as the thickness of each layer, in kilometers. In this, the thickest layer is the Mantle that is almost 2900 kilometers; this is followed in thickness by the outer and the inner core.

Additionally, other layers such as the continental/oceanic crust, the asthenosphere, and the lithosphere that are near the surface are thinner. About this, it can be concluded the lithosphere is thinner than the asthenosphere because the lithosphere has a thickness of 100 km, while the asthenosphere thickness is 660km. This makes option D the correct.

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

When you calculate the SLOPE of a line segment, what does the SLOPE represent? (Choose all that apply) the Distance traveled the Displacement the Velocity the Acceleration None of the above

The slope of any time graph can not give you distance or displacement except for position - time graph.

When you plot either distance or displacement against time, that is, distance time graph or displacement time graph, you can get speed or velocity as the slope of the line segment.

You can only acceleration as a slope in a line of best fit if velocity is plotted against time. That is, in a velocity time graph.

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a
Naily [24]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

We know that

a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt

V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.
