How have earthquake data been used to explore the size of convection currents in the mantle?

Physics

nadezda [96]3 years ago

 <span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>

A mass of M-kg rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 30°. A string with a linear mass density of μ=0.025" kg/m" is attached t
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass M.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the ramp,

and tension force T pulling parallel up the ramp.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T − Mg sin 30° = 0

T = Mg sin 30°

T = Mg / 2

Draw a free body diagram of the hanging mass m.  There are two forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

and tension force T pulling up.

Sum of forces in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = 0

T = mg

Substitute:

mg = Mg / 2

m = M / 2

M = 2m

b) Velocity of a standing wave in a string is:

v = √(T / μ)

T = mg, and m = 5 kg, so T = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 49 N.  Therefore:

v = √(49 N / 0.025 kg/m)

v = 44.3 m/s

If the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet x is double the value of earth's, how does planet x's mass compare t
love history [14]
There is not enough information given to answer with. The force of gravity at the planet's surface depends on the planet's radius as well as its mass. The planet could have exactly the same mass as Earth has. But if it's radius is only 71% of Earth's radius, then gravity on its surface will be twice as strong as gravity on Earth.
