Answer:

Oceanic crust is about 6 km (4 miles) thick. It is composed of several layers, not including the overlying sediment. The topmost layer, about 500 metres (1,650 feet) thick, includes lavas made of basalt (that is, rock material consisting largely of plagioclase [feldspar] and pyroxene).

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 34.5

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s

distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m

final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s

The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

$2as= v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(40.7)^2 -(34.5)^2}{2 \times 46,100} \\\\a = 5.06 \ \times \ 10^{-3} \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

A man throws a ball straight up to his friend on a balcony who catches it at its highest point. The ball was thrown with an init

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s

the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0

The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

During upward motion, gravity is negative

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u² / 2g

h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)

h = 16.35 m

Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

A sound system is designed to produce a 1.0W/m2 sound intensity over the surface of a hemisphere 20 m in radius. What acoustic p

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

2513.6 W

Explanation:

Acoustic power = sound intensity × area of hemisphere

Sound intensity = 1 W/m^2

Area of hemisphere = 2πr^2 = 2×3.142×20^2 = 2513.6 m^2

Acoustic power = 1 W/m^2 × 2513.6 m^2 = 2513.6 W
