Answer: The layer below the lithosphere lies the Asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is a viscous layer, in which the rocks are solid but has the ability to slightly flow due to deformation. This layer plays a very significant role in the plate tectonic movement, which initiates the motion of the lithospheric crust, due to the generation of the convection current at the mantle. It is present in the upper part of the mantle.

The internal heat from the core of the earth radiates to the mantle, and the magma at the mantle gets heated up and become less dense and rises up, and this magma when reaches on the upper part of the mantle, near the surface, gets cools down and become more dense, and sinks. This continuous circulation of magma in the mantle region is known as the convection current.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 92.1 m/s. The 55.6 kg pilot does not want his radial acceleration to

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

r = 102.43 m

Explanation:

Newton's second law for this case is

F = ma

Where the acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

r = v² / a

They indicate that the radial acceleration is 8.45 g

r = v² / 8.45 g.

r = 92.1² / 8.45 9.8

r = 102.43 m

What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an "am" radio station that broadcasts at 1120 kilohertz?

Alex73 [517]

The wavelength of the radio photon is 268 m.

Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of 3×10⁸m/s in vacuum. The speed of a wave c is related to its frequency f and wavelengthλ as follows:

$c=f\lambda$

Thus the wavelength is given by,

$\lambda =\frac{c}{f}$

Substitute 3×10⁸m/s for c and 1120×10³Hz for f.

$\lambda =\frac{c}{f}\\ =\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1120*10^3Hz} \\ =267.8 m\\ =268 m$

Thus the wavelength of the radio photon from an AM station is 268 m

Spiderman, whose mass is 70.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.2-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J
