When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.

That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.

Consider the power dissipated in a series R–L–C circuit with R=280Ω, L=100mH, C=0.800μF, V=50V, and ω=10500rad/s. The current an

2.57162 W

14.28 W

53.55 W

6.07142 W

Explanation:

R = 280Ω

L = 100 mH

C = 0.800 μF

V = 50 V

ω = 10500rad/s

For RLC circuit impedance is given by

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{R^2+(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{280^2+(10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}-\dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=972.1483\ \Omega$

Power factor is given by

$F=\dfrac{R}{Z}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{280}{972.1483}\\\Rightarrow F=0.28802$

The power factor is 0.28802

The average power to the circuit is given by

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{Z}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{50^2}{972.1483}\\\Rightarrow P=2.57162\ W$

The average power to the circuit is 2.57162 W

Power to resistor

$P_R=IR\\\Rightarrow P_R=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times 280\\\Rightarrow P_R=14.28\ W$

Power to resistor is 14.28 W

Power to inductor

$P_L=IX_L\\\Rightarrow P_L=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times 10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow P_L=53.55\ W$

Power to the inductor is 53.55 W

Power to the capacitor

$P_C=IX_C\\\Rightarrow P_C=5.1\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}}\\\Rightarrow P_C=6.07142\ W$

The power to the capacitor is 6.07142 W

Explain the difference between the terms "rotation" and "revolution"

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

Answer:

a) N = 145,833,674.52174 = 1.458 × 10⁸ strands

b) diameter of single rope with the same effect = 2.415 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law explains that stress is directly proportional to strain.

Stress ∝ Strain.

Stress = E × Strain

E = constant of proportionality = Young's Modulus = 4.0 ✕ 10⁹ N/m².

Stress = (Load/Total Cross sectional Area)

Load = a pair of 85 kg mountain climbers = 85 × 2 × 9.8 = 1666 N

Total Cross sectional Area = (Number of strands) × (Area of one strand) = A

Strain = (ΔL/L)

ΔL = 1.00 cm = 0.01 m

L = 11 m

Strain = (0.01/11) = 0.0009091

Stress = (Young's Modulus) × (Strain) = (4.0 ✕ 10⁹) × (0.0009091) = 3,636,363.64 N/m²

(Load/ total Area) = 3,636,363.64

Total area = (Load/3,636,363.64) = (1666/3,636,363.64) = 0.00045815 m²

Recall,

Total Cross sectional Area = (Number of strands) × (Area of one strand)

Area of one strand = (πd²/4)

diameter of one strand = 2 μm = (2×10⁻⁶) m

Area of one strand = (πd²/4)

= π × (2×10⁻⁶)² ÷ 4 = (3.142 × 10⁻¹²) m²

Total Cross sectional Area = (Number of strands) × (Area of one strand)

0.00045815 = N × (3.142 × 10⁻¹²)

N = 145,833,674.52174 = 1.458 × 10⁸ strands

b) If it was a single rope, the cross sectional Area would just be equal to the total cross sectional Area obtained in (a)

A = 0.00045815 m²

A = (πD²/4)

where D = diameter of the single rope

0.00045815 = (πD²/4)

D² = (4×0.00045815) ÷ π = 0.0005833347

D = 0.02415 m = 2.415 cm

Hope this Helps!!!
