The answer is A. Deformation is where the object doesnt return to its original shape.
B) It’s material moves due to convection currents.
Answer:
(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg
(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J
(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s
Explanation:
(a)
First we find the volume of the continent:
V = L*W*H
where,
V = Volume of Slab = ?
L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m
W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m
H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m
Therefore,
V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)
V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³
Now, we find the mass:
m = density*V
m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)
<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>
<u></u>
(b)
The kinetic energy will be:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
where,
v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)
v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
Therefore,
K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²
<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>
<u></u>
(c)
For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²
v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)
<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>
Answer: The wave can flip upside down.
Reflection is the bending of a wave when it cannot pass through. For example, plain mirrors which are flat, a ray of light hits the mirror and is reflected from the mirror since it cannot pass through
When reflection occurs the speed and frequency of the wave does not change but the wave is flipped upside down.
The speed does not change because speed is affected by the change in medium the frequency also remains the same since the energy of the wave does not change.
