Dr. Alley has helped drill many holes in ice sheets. Special tools can be lowered down the holes on cables, and tracked to learn

the shapes of the holes. Initially, the holes are straight up and down. Years later, the holes are bent, because the ice in the ice sheet is flowing. What does it mean to say that the ice is flowing?

Answer:

Much like shakes in the mantle or iron warmed by a metal forger, the ice is practically hot enough to soften, and distorts as gravity pulls on it, without loosening up into lumps.

Explanation:

  • Materials warmed however not exactly to their liquefying point can results in deformation without breaking or dissolving.
  • It results from the extraordinary convection cells in the mantle. In the event that you list the temperature of the ice in degrees F, it is much colder than the mantle, or iron warmed by a metalworker, or a chocolate bar in your pocket.
  • Be that as it may, the ice has been warmed from total zero nearly to the liquefying temperature, much the same as the mantle and the iron and the chocolate, so the pressure from gravity can make the ice distort or stream.

What is the role of the neutral wire
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The neutral wire is often confused with ground wire, but in reality, they serve two distinct purposes. Neutral wires carry currents back to power source to better control and regulate voltage. Its overall purpose is to serve as a path to return energy.

Fed [463]

ANSWER

Mass: The resistance of an object to acceleration, size-dependent

Volume: The amount of space an object occupies

Boiling point: The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor.

Melting point: The temperature at which a solid melts and turns to liquid

Density: Size-independent

Solubility: The ability of a substance (solvent) to dissolve when placed in a liquid (solute)

Magnetism: Size-dependent

EXPLANATION:

Mass: the more mass something has, the harder it is to accelerate. This is somewhat intuitive, but is also demonstrated in newton's third law. It's size-dependent because for an object of a given density, the size (volume) will change the mass.

Volume: big objects take up more space. If you put an apple in bucket filled to the brim with water, a little water will splash out, because the apple is now occupying the space that the water used to, but if you put in a watermelon, a lot of water will splash out, because the watermelon is taking up even more space.

Boiling point: when a liquid gets too hot, it will change to gas (example: water to steam)

Melting point: when a liquid gets too cold, it will change to a solid (example: water to ice)

Density: how much mass there is in a given volume. A sphere made of lead will have more mass than a sphere made of wood, even if they are the same size. Size-independent because a big lead sphere has the same density as a small lead sphere, they just have different masses.

Solubility: some substances dissolve in certain solvents, other's don't.

Magnetism: size-dependent because a bigger magnet is stronger than a smaller one if they are identical in every other way. More space means more domains means a stronger magnet.

A tank is full of oil weighing 40 lb/ft^3. The tank is an inverted right circular cone (with the base at the top) with a height
krok68 [10]

Answer:

26945.6 ft⋅lbf

Explanation:

Volume of Right Circular Cone = pi*(radius^2)*(height/3)

Pi*(4)*(5/3) = 20.94 ft^3

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density*Volume

Mass = (40)*(20.94)

Mass = 837.6 lb

Work = Force*Height

Force = Mass*Acceleration

Acceleration will be gravitational acceleration

Work = (837.6)*(32.17)*(1)

Work = 26945.6 ft⋅lbf

: Does increasing temperature increase pressure?
Vesnalui [34]
Yes, an increase in temperature is accompanied by an increase in pressure. Temperature is the measurement of heat present and more heat means more energy. Molecules in hotter temperatures move faster and more often, eventually moving into the gaseous phase. The molecules would fill the container, and the hotter it got the more they would bounce off the walls, pushing outward, increasing the pressure.
I suppose you could measure this with some kind of loosely inflated balloon and subject it to different temperatures and then somehow measure the size/pressure of it.

Charge g is distributed in a spherically symmetric ball of radius a. (a) Evaluate the average volume charge density p. (b) Now a
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * a^3

The volume charge density would then be:

p = Q/V

p = 3*Q/(4 * π * a^3)

If the charge density depends on the radius:

p = f(r) = k * r

I integrate the charge density in spherical coordinates. The charge density integrated in the whole volume is equal to total charge.

Q = \int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {k * r} \, dr * r*d\theta* r*d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {r^3} \, dr * d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 {\frac{r^4}{4}} \, d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0 {\frac{\pi r^4}{4}} \,  d\phi

Q = \frac{\pi^2 r^4}{2}}

Since p = k*r

Q = p*π^2*r^3 / 2

Then:

p(r) = 2*Q / (π^2*r^3)
