Answer:

The core: this structure of the terrestrial world is made up of sulphur, iron, silicon and it is found at the centre of the terrestrial world.

The mantle: this structure of the terrestrial world is located between the outer core and the crust and consist of mainly silicate rock.

The crust: this is the structure of the terrestrial world that makes up the outermost layer. It consist of granite and basalt.

Differentiation: this is the process by which gravity separates materials according to density, with high-density materials sinking and low-density materials rising.

Lithosphere: this is made up of the hard and rigid outer layer of the terrestrial planet and it's located between the crust and the outermost mantel.

The five terrestrial worlds includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The largest which includes the Venus and Earth has the thinnest lithosphere while the smallest ( mercury and moon) have the thickest lithosphere.

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in
g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

  • If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

  • If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).

podryga [215]

Answer:

Super-critical mass

Explanation:

This term refers to the mass, in which the amount of fission processes per unit of time increases to the point, where some intrinsic feedback mechanism causes the reactor to reach an equilibrium point at a high temperature or power, that is, It becomes critical again, or it is destroyed due to the amount of processes.

Due to the wave nature of light, light shined on a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern? Green light (520 nm) is shine
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because,  the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by tanθ = y/D

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ =  λD/d and y₋₁ =  -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ =  3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ =  λD/d and y₂ =  2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm

Kamila [148]

Answer:4 times more energy will be striking the childbearing

Explanation:

Because Volume is directly proportional to amplitude of sound. Energy is proportional to amplitude squared. If you triple the amplitude, you multiply the energy by 4
