Where do Earth’s convection currents occur

Physics

Convection currents occur in the magma drive plate tectonics. Here heat is generated from the radioactive decay of elements in the  interior of  the Earth, creating magma in the asthenosphere.

determine whether the following equations are dimensionally correct if not how can you make them dimensionally correct 1 /2 mv2
serg [7]

Answer:

1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh

Explanation:

The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as

1 /2 mv^{2} while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have 1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh

A sinusoidal, transverse wave that propagates in the positive x-direction can be described with the wave function y of xt is equ
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\omega =\frac{2 \pi }{T} rad/s

Explanation:

The wave function is:

y(xt) = Acos(kx- \omega t)

where :

k = wave number

x = position of a point on the wave

\omega = angular frequency

t = time

What is another way to express the angular frequency (omega)

Angular frequency (omega) can be express as :

\omega =\frac{2 \pi }{T} rad/s ( i.e one repetition that it takes to repeats itself)

I want to know about the inventions caused due to rain. Like the Benjamin Franklin's Lightning Conductor. I have to make a chart
nydimaria [60]
Franklin had been waiting for an opportunity like this. He wanted to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning, and to do so, he needed a thunderstorm.

He had his materials at the ready: a simple kite made with a large silk handkerchief, a hemp string, and a silk string. He also had a house key, a Leyden jar (a device that could store an electrical charge for later use), and a sharp length of wire. His son William assisted him.

Franklin had originally planned to conduct the experiment atop a Philadelphia church spire, according to his contemporary, British scientist Joseph Priestley (who, incidentally, is credited with discovering oxygen), but he changed his plans when he realized he could achieve the same goal by using a kite.

A 50-kg man is driving his snowmobile at a constant speed. The engine applies a force of 360 N and the coefficient of kinetic fr
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

134 kg

Explanation:

The snowmobile is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − 360 = 0

F = 360

Friction force equals the normal force times the coefficient of friction:

Nμ = 360

On level ground, the normal force equals the combined weight:

(m + 50)g μ = 360

m + 50 = 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (gμ)

m = -50 + 360 / (9.8 × 0.2)

m ≈ 134 kg

Round as needed.
