Answer:

lithosphere and asthenosphere

Explanation:

Lithosphere is the part of the earth surface which is rigid and hard. It consists of whole crust and the upper mantle.It comprises of number of plates called plate tectonic.

The asthenosphere is the Earth's upper mantle's extremely viscous, mechanically fragile and ductile area. This sits below the lithosphere, some 80 to 200 km below the ground at depths. The boundary between lithosphere and asthenosphere is commonly referred to as LAB.

Julli [10]

Answer:

5s

Explanation:

because m/s=s/t so,

0.5m/s=10m/t

t=10m/0.5m/s

t=5sec

A 2.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (magnitude P = 4.0 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to
irinina [24]

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

<h3>Frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface</h3>

The frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface is determined by applying Newton's law;

∑F = ma

F - Ff = ma

Ff = F - ma

Ff = 4 - 2(1.2)

Ff = 4 - 2.4

Ff = 1.6 N

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

5 - 1.6 = 2a

3.4 = 2a

a = 3.4/2

a = 1.7 m/s²

Thus, when the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000  x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second
Ksenya-84 [330]
False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.
