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.

A circuit has an AC voltage source in series with a 50 ohm resistor and a 113 mH inductor. The frequency is 100 cycles/sec, and
user100 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rms voltage = 140/√2 = 140/1.414 = 99 V.

Reactance of inductor  = wL = 2 X 3.14 X 100 X 113 X 10⁻³ =70.96 ohm.

Total resistance in terms of vector = 50+70.96j

j is imaginary unit  number

Magnitude of this resistance = √ 50² + 70.96² = 86.80 ohm

current in resistance (rms) ( I ) = 99/86.80 = 1.14 A.

Power dissipated in resistor = I² R = 1.14 X 1.14 X 50 = 65 W( approx)

Calculate the total resistance for a 650ohm , a 350 ohm , and a 1000 ohm resistor connected in series
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

2000 ohms

Explanation:

Resisters in series just add.

Rt = R1 + R2 + R3

R1 = 650 ohm

R2 = 350 ohm

R3 = 1000 ohm

Rt = 650 + 350 + 1000

Rt = 2000 ohms.

What is the maximum mass of ethyl alcohol you could boil with 2000 j of heat, starting from 19 ∘c?
RSB [31]
The boiling point of ethanol is at 78.37°C. So, the energy must include sensible heat to raise 19°C to the boiling point and latent heat to change liquid to gas. The equation would be

Energy = Sensible heat + Latent heat
Energy = mCpΔT + mΔH

For ethanol, 
Cp = 46.068 + 102,460T - 139.63T² - 0.030341T³ + 0.0020386T⁴ J/kmol·K
ΔH = 38,560 J/mol

Integrate the Cp expression to determine CpΔT:

CpΔT = ∫₂₉₂³⁵²(46.068 + 102,460T - 139.63T² - 0.030341T³ + 0.0020386T⁴ )dT
The upper limit is (78.37+273) = 352 K, while the lower limit is (19 + 273) = 292.
CpΔT = 2384857192 J/kmol·K

2,000 J = m(2384857192 J/kmol)(1 kmol/1000 mol) + m(38,560 J/mol)
m = 8.253×10⁻⁴ moles of ethanol
Since the molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol,
Mass = (8.253×10⁻⁴ mol)(46.07 g/mol)
Mass = 0.038 g ethanol

Which of the following represents the wavelength of a wave?
dlinn [17]

Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by \lambda and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.

In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

What force causes an elevator to go up?
WITCHER [35]
The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable. Consider the normal force acting on you from the elevator: N = mg if the elevator is at rest or moving at constant velocity. N = mg + ma if the elevator has an upward acceleration.
