When geophysicists measure the geothermal gradient in areas on the ridges where there is no activity hydrothermally, the gradient is far below than what is predicted theoretically, but when measured near hydrothermal vents it is more than what is predicted. This is because most of the heat is being carried through convection by hydrothermal systems so that the average gradient when measured far from the circulation would be depressed or lower.
Answer:
55 kg
Explanation:
spring constant (k) = 600 N/m
mass of chair (Mc) = 12 kg
period of oscillation of chair and man (T) = 2.1 s
what is the mass of the astronaut (Ma) ?
mass of the astronaut (Ma) = total mass (Mt) - mass of chair (Mc)
where
- total mass (Mt) =
taking π as 3.142
total mass (Mt) = 
total mass (Mt) = 67 kg
therefore
mass of astronaut = 67 - 12 = 55 kg
Answer:
Explanation:This question is simply asking you to describe the following equations:
E = hv
v = c/L
E = hc/L
where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency, c is the speed of light and L is the wavelength.
By looking at the equations you should be able to tell what the relationships between energy, frequency and wavelength are. If you are having difficulty describing them, then create a table with actual values and see what happens to the energy as you increase or decrease the frequency and/or wavelength.
Answer:
a. 78 degree
Explanation:
According to Snell's Law, we have:
(ni)(Sin θi) = (nr)(Sin θr)
where,
ni = Refractive index of medium on which light is incident
ni = Refractive index of ethyl alcohol = 1.361
nr = Refractive index of medium from which light is refracted
nr = Refractive index of ethyl alcohol = 1.333
θi = Angle of Incidence
θr = Angle of refraction
So, the Angle of Incidence is know as the Critical Angle (θc), when the refracted angle becomes 90°. This is the case of total internal reflection. That is:
θi = θc
when, θr = 90°
Therefore, Snell's Law becomes:
(1.361)(Sin θc) = (1.333)(Sin 90°)
Sin θc = 1.333/1.361
θc = Sin⁻¹ (0.9794)
θc = 78.35° = 78° (Approximately)
Therefore, correct answer will be:
a. <u>78 degree</u>
