The special feature of the upper mantle is the asthenosphere.It is located just below the lithosphere and is made up of rocks that is fluid and can move.The fluidity of these rocks powered the movement of the tectonic plates on the earths crust.Circular convection cycles in the hot,fluid upper mantle rock move the plates over the surface of the earth.

A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

$v_1=89km/h$

$t_1=30min$

$v_2=100km/h$

$t_2=12min$

$v_3=40km/h$

$t_3=45 min$

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute= $\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour$

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance= $speed\times time$

$d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km$

$d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km$

$d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km$

Total distance= $d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km$

Average speed= $\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}$

Using the formula

Average speed= $\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h$

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km

If a reaction is exothermic, then which of the following statements is always true? If a reaction is exothermic, then which of t

sesenic [268]

Explanation:

Reactants ⇒ product + heat (exothermic reaction) ....(1)

We have given that the reaction is exothermic, so the heat is rejected from the reaction. We know that heat is the form of energy.

From equation (1)

from the given equation we can see that reactants have more energy than products.

So the reactants have higher potential energy in comparison to the products.

Newton's second law of motion can also be described as...

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer

B. F=ma

Explanation

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma

A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p

saul85 [17]

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, $x$ , of an SHM is given by

$x = A\cos(\omega t)$

A is the amplitude and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radian.
