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.

An object moving at 15 m/s slows uniformly at a rate of 2.0 m/s each second for 5.0 s. What is its final speed?

NeX [460]

Hey there!

We are given ,

Acceleration, a = -2m/s^2

Initial velocity , u = 15m/s

Time , t = 5 seconds

We know that ,
V=u+at

Now , final speed ,

V = 15+(-2)(5)

V = 15-10

V = 5 m/s -> final speed

Hope this helps you dear :)

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese

lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:

efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100

Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40%

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20%

Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.

A 5kg object moving horizontally at 3m/s collides with a stationary 3kg object. After the collision, the 5kg object is deflected

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 5 kg

Speed = 3 m/s

Mass of stationary object = 3 kg

Moving object deflected = 30°
