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.

Explain the relationship between air resistance and gravitational acceleration on a falling object

Allushta [10]

Air resistance, also called drag, acts upon a falling body by slowing the body down to thr point where it stops accelerating, and it falls at a constant speed, known as the terminal volocity of a falling object. Air resistance depends on the cross sectional area of the object, which is why the effect of air resistance on a large flat surfaced object is much greater than on a small, streamlined object.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Svetlanka [38]

The formula written in the 3rd line above the picture is WRONG. Don't use it. Use the formula the way it's printed in the picture.

V = d / t

That means Speed = (distance) / (time)

The question tells us that v = 330 m/s

So you write 330 m/s in the equation in place of 'v', like this:

330 m/s = (distance) / (time)

The question also tells us that the time is 0.4 second

So you write 0.4 sec in place of 'time', like this:

330 m/s = (distance) / (0.4 second)

Finally, you take this, and multiply each side of the equation by (0.4 sec). Then it'll say

distance = (330 m/s) x (0.4 second)

As soon as you do that one single multiplication there with your pencil or your calculator, you'll have the distance.

This is either the 2nd or 3rd time you've posted this same exact question since last weekend. It can be solved THIS time exactly like the answers that were posted those other times.

The DOT in the picture is marked for the wrong choice. Use the formula that's printed in the picture, not copied above it.

A 15.7 kg block is dragged over a rough, horizontal surface by a constant force of 83.1 N

Kay [80]

Answer:

The work done by the 83.1 N force is 4687.5 J.

The magnitude of the work done by the force of friction is 1187.5 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block, $m=15.7$ kg

Force acting on it, $F=83.1$ N

Angle of application of force, $\theta = 25.7$ °

Displacement of the block, $d=62.6$ m

Coefficient of friction, $\mu =0.161$

Acceleration due to gravity, $g=9.8$ m/s²

Work done by a force is given as:

$Work,W=F\times d\times \cos\theta$

So, work done by the constant force is given as:

$W_{force}=83.1\times 62.6\times \cos(25.7)\\W_{force}=4687.5\textrm{ J}$

Now, in order to find work done by friction, we need to evaluate friction.

For the vertical direction, the net force is zero as there is no vertical motion.

Therefore,

$N + F\sin\theta = mg\\ N = mg-F\sin\theta$

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N=\mu (mg-F \sin \theta)=0.161\times ((15.7\times 9.8)-(83.1\times \sin(25.7))=18.97\textrm{ N}$

Now, friction acts in the direction opposite to the displacement. Thus, angle between frictional force and displacement is 180°.

Therefore, work done by friction is:

$W_{fric}=f\times d\times \cos\theta_f\\W_{fric}=12.72\times 62.6\times \cos(-180)\\W_{fric}=18.97\times 62.6\times -1\\W_{fric}=-1187.5\textrm{ J}$

Negative sign indicates that frictional force is acting opposite to motion.

So, the magnitude of the work done by the force of friction is 1187.5 J.

The core of the Sun is Group of answer choices

kap26 [50]

Answer:

2. much hotter and much denser than its surface

Explanation:

We know that the temperature around the center of the Sun is about 1.57×10⁷ K and its density is about 162 g/cm³.

Now, the temperature and the density decrease as one moves outward from the center of the Sun, the temperature at the surface of the sun is about 5×10³ K and the density as an average in the surface is about 1.4 g/cm³.

Therefore the answer is:

2. much hotter and much denser than its surface.

I hope it helps you!

Have a nice day!
