Yes the answer is geothermal, but more specifically geothermal gradient.

Answer:

Geothermal gradient

Explanation:

The thermal gradient is often defined as the rate of increase in temperature with respect to the increase in the subsurface depth. This accounts for more than 50% of the total heat energy of the earth. The geothermal gradient is approximately 25° C/km beneath the earth's surface. This heat results from the decay of the radioactive elements that are at great depths. In addition to this, the latent heat is also produced due to the crystallization of the core. Due to this heat energy, that is transmitted to the upper mantle, the plates are able to move over the layer of the Asthenosphere.  

This heat energy obtained from the interior of the earth is known as geothermal energy.

De manera individual subraya la respuesta correcta: A) El Método Científico de la física experimental y su búsqueda de respuesta
alexira [117]

Answer:

a. La ciencia.

Explicación:

El método científico de la física experimental y su búsqueda de respuestas tiene un principio básico que es la ciencia. La ciencia es la aplicación del conocimiento del mundo natural y social siguiendo una metodología sistemática basada en evidencias. Sin evidencias no hay aceptación de la observación ni se debe hacer teoría porque la evidencia es el principal criterio para aceptar o rechazar una hipótesis.

A car has a kinetic energy of 103kJ.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: 1200kg

Explanation:

KE = (1/2)mv^2

103kJ = 103000J

103000J = (1/2) * m * (13.1m/s)^2

Solve for m

An 850-lb force is applied to a 0.15-in. diameter nickel wire having a yield strength of 45,000 psi and a tensile strength of 55
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a)Yes will deform plastically

b) Will NOT experience necking

Explanation:

Given:

- Applied Force F = 850 lb

- Diameter of wire D = 0.15 in

- Yield Strength Y=45,000 psi

- Ultimate Tensile strength U = 55,000 psi

Find:

a) Whether there will be plastic deformation

b) Whether there will be necking.

Solution:

Assuming a constant Force F, the stress in the wire will be:

                       stress = F / Area

                       Area = pi*D^2 / 4

                       Area = pi*0.15^2 / 4 = 0.0176715 in^2

                       stress = 850 / 0.0176715

                       stress = 48,100.16 psi

      Yield Strength < Applied stress > Ultimate Tensile strength

                        45,000 < 48,100 < 55,000

Hence, stress applied is greater than Yield strength beyond which the wire will deform plasticly but insufficient enough to reach UTS responsible for the necking to initiate. Hence, wire deforms plastically but does not experience necking.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur
Evgen [1.6K]
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec
