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.

On a part-time job, you are asked to bring a cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m3, length 88.8 cm and diameter 2.30 cm fro
vichka [17]

Answer:

w = 28.25 N

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use two expressions.

First, to calculate the weight of any object, we use the 2nd law of newton. In this case, the weight is:

w = m*g  (1)

However we do not have the mass of the rod. We need to calculate that. To calculate the mass, we'll use the expression of density which is:

d = m/V  

From here, we solve for mass:

m = d * V   (2)

Finally, we can know the volume of the rod, because is cylindrical, therefore, the volume of a cylinder is:

V = π * r² * h   (3)

So, in resume, we need to solve for the volume of the rod, then, the mass ans finally the weight. Let's calculate the volume of the rod, converting the units of centimeter to meters, just dividing by 100:

diameter = 2.3 cm ---> radius = 2.3/2 = 1.15 cm -----> 0.0115 m

Length or height = 88.8 cm ----> 0.888 m

Replacing in (3):

V = π * (0.0115)² * 0.888

V = 3.69x10⁻⁴ m

Now, let's use (2) to calculate the mass:

m = 7800 * 3.69x10⁻⁴

m = 2.88 kg

Finally for the weight, we'll use expression (1):

w = 2.88 * 9.81

<h2>w = 28.25 N</h2><h2>And this is the weight of the rod.</h2>

A motorist is driving at 20m/s when she sees that a traffic light 200m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stay
yuradex [85]

Answer:

5.71428571422 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s

Distance traveled in 1 second = 20\times 1=20\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 200-20=20\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 14^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2(180-20\times14)}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02040816327\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=20-1.02040816327\times 14\\\Rightarrow v=5.71428571422\ m/s

The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s

A circuit contains a 1.5 volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms. Calculate the current
Vitek1552 [10]

The formula that links voltage (V), resistance (R) and current intensity (I) is

V=RI

Solve this formula for I to get

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

Plug your values for V and R and you'll get the current.

A boat has a propulsion system that consists of a pump that sucks water at the bow and presses it on the stern. All tubes are 5
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The propulsion force at the moment of departure, is 49 N  

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of tubes = 5 cm = 0.05 m

volumetric flow rate, V = 50 L/s = 0.005 m³/s

density of water, ρ = 1000 Kg /m³

hydraulic / propulsion force, F = ρVg

where;

ρ is the density of the fluid (water)

V is the volumetric flow rate of water

g is acceleration due to gravity

propulsion force, F = ρVg

propulsion force, F = 1000 x 0.005 x 9.8

propulsion force, F = 49 N      

Therefore, the propulsion force at the moment of departure, is 49 N

The position x, in meters, of an object is given by the equation:
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The SI units of A, B and C are :

m,\ m/s\ and\ m/s^2                  

Explanation:

The position x, in meters, of an object is given by the equation:

x=A+Bt+Ct^2

Where

t is time in seconds

We know that the unit of x is meters, such that the units of A, Bt and Ct^2 must be meters. So,

  • A=m
  • bt=m

b=\dfrac{m}{s}=m/s

  • Ct^2=m

C=m/s^2

So, the SI units of A, B and C are :

m,\ m/s\ and\ m/s^2

So, the correct option is (B).
