Answer: Viscous property

Explanation: The asthenosphere is the layer that lies below the crust. This layer is generally viscous, where the rocks floats due to deformation. It is the top part of the mantle and generation of convection current pushes the materials to move, thereby breaking the crust, causing it to move in convergent or divergent direction or slide past each other. The composition is same for both the lithosphere and the asthenosphere but it has its viscous property.

SOH-CAH-TOA is used to solve for the ________
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

c. initial (x and y)

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at a velocity with a launch angle, to solve it, we must first resolve the initial velocity into the x and y components. To do this will mean we have to treat it like a triangle due to the launch angle and the direction of the projectile.

Therefore, we will have to make use of trigonometric ratios which is also known by the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA"

Thus, this method resolves the initial x and y velocities.

After watching this video, Blake, a student in an introductory physics class, makes the following claim: The acceleration and ve
Maru [420]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self- explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Any time that an object changes direction  (from leftward to rightwward, or from upward to downward) the velocity must be zero just for one instant, when is on the verge of changing the direction.
  • This  is needed because velocity changes as a continuous function of time, so it needs to cross the t-axis when passing from positive to negative or vice versa.
  • However, the claim that in the moment that velocity is zero, the acceleration is also zero, is false.
  • Due to acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and velocity is a vector, this means at any time there is a change of direction, there is an acceleration that is non-zero.
  • For example, when an object that has been thrown upward, reaches to its maximum height, just one instant before starting to fall, the velocity becomes zero, but the acceleration (which causes the object to fall) is non-zero, due to it's the acceleration due to gravity.

A uniform meter stick is hung at its center from a thin wire. It is twisted and oscillates with a period of 5 s. The meter stick
rewona [7]

Answer:

The new time period is  T_2 =  3.8 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The period of oscillation is  T =  5 \ s

   The  new  length is  l_2  =  0.76  \ m

Let assume the original length was l_1 = 1 m

Generally the time period is mathematically represented as

         T  =  2 \pi   \sqrt{ \frac{ I }{ mgh } }

Now  I is the moment of inertia of the stick which is mathematically represented as

           I  =  \frac{m * l^2 }{12 }

So

        T  =  2 \pi   \sqrt{ \frac{  m * l^2 }{12 *   mgh } }

Looking at the above equation we see that

        T  \ \ \  \alpha  \ \ \  l

=>    \frac{ T_2 }{T_1}  =  \frac{l_2}{l_1}

=>    \frac{ T_2}{5} =  \frac{0.76}{1}

=>     T_2 =  3.8 \  s
