A Ping-Pong ball is given an upward initial velocity. The force of air resistance causes the times of ascent and descent to be u

nequal. Which time is greater?

Answer:

Time of ascent is greater than time of descent.

Explanation:

The gravitational force always acts in the downward direction. The air drag always opposes the motion.

During ascent, the gravitational force and air drag act in opposite direction to the motion where as during descent, only air drag acts in opposite direction to the motion of the ball while gravitational force acts in the same direction. Thus, the time of ascent and descent become unequal with time of ascent being greater than time of descent.

lisov135 [29]

Complete option to the question:

A. The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

B. Convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

C. Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable.

D. The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.

Answer: The correct option is A (The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.)

Explanation:

Among the components that makes up the earth crust are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.

The LITHOSPHERE is the outer layer of the earth structure which consists of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.

The ASTHENOSPHERE is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. It is denser and weaker layer of the upper mantle which permits the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable. And the convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust. But it is not broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

A skier of mass 72 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. a. how much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30 degree
likoan [24]

Answer: 26.460\times 10^3\ J

Explanation:

Given the mass of skier m=72 kg

distance traveled d=75 m

constant speed v=3.4 m/s

If speed is constant  then there must no force acting in the direction of motion

i.e. tension force must be equal to the component of weight

T=mg\sin 30^{\circ}

Work done is given by

\Rightarrow W=F\cdot d=Td\cos 0^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow W=mg\sin 30^{\circ} d=72\times 9.8\times 0.5\times 75\\\Rightarrow W=26.460\times 10^3\ J
