Which of these causes the lower mantle to remain solid despite high temperatures?

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200m ahead on the same track. The

Answer:

No, there won't be a collision.

Explanation:

We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,

v = u + a*t

0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t

t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)

v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s

0 = (25)^2 + 2*(-0.1)*s

s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)

If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur

Speed*time = distance

Distance = (15)*(250)

Distance = 3750 m

As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision

You are helping two friends from our class with a physics problem where a cart is pushed up a ramp. In examining the motion of t

stiks02 [169]

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.

Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.

Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.

Explanation:

Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.

<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>

If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.

In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.

<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>

This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.

But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.

What force could be applied to a box to make the net force in the horizontal direction of zero

Kazeer [188]

If there is no friction, the force that moves the box forward horizontally must be matched by the same force.

If there is friction, then the force moving it forward = frictional force + the additional force you need to add.

Iodine molecules separates into atoms after absorbing light of 450 nm. If one

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:E = hc/? = 4.41 x 10-19 J

Energy absorbed by each atom :

E (atom) = 2.205 x 10-19 J

Now Bond Energy of each molecule (B) = 3.98 x J

So, for each atom 1.99 x 10-19 J

So now

KE of each atom = E(atom) - B (atom)

= 2.15 x 10-19 J

Which of the following is a small electronic component made up of transistors (tiny switches) and other miniaturized parts?

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Integrated circuit (IC)

Explanation:

An integrated circuit ( IC ) is a semiconductor which contains multiple electronic components

interconnected to form a complete electronic function. Integrated circuits are the most essential part of all electronic products.

Modern integrated circuits contain as much as billions of circuit components such as transistors , diodes , resistors , and capacitors

onto a single monolithic die .
