Question:
How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?

Answer:
<span>
Continental glaciers are thicker, much more expansive sheets. Mountain glaciers flow downhill as a result of gravity acting on the mass of ice. Continental glaciers move in response to pressure from the weight of material in their thick midsections.

One mole of iron (6 x 10^23 atoms) has a mass of 56 grams, and its density is 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter, so the center-to-

choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

length l = 2.3 m

a = 0.12 cm = $0.12 \times 10^{-2} \ m$

$x = 1.17 \ cm = 1.17 \times 10^{-2}\ m$

m = 149 kg

$\delta = 7.87 \ g/cm^3$

$da = 2.28 \times 10^{-10}\ m$

$F_{net} = F-mg\\ \\0 = F - mg \\ \\ F = mg \\ \\ k_sx = mg \\ \\$

∴

$k_s = \dfrac{149(9.8)}{1.17 \times 10^{-2}} \\ \\ k_s = 124803.42 \ N /m$

$N_{chain} = \dfrac{A_{wire}}{A_{atom}} = \dfrac{A_w}{da^2}$

$N_{chain} = \dfrac{(a)^2}{(da)^2} = (\dfrac{a}{da})^2$

$N_{chain} = (\dfrac{0.12 \times 10^{-2} }{2.28 \times 10^{-10}})^2$

$N_{chain} = 2.77 \times 10^{13}$

$N_{bond} = \dfrac{L}{da} \\ \\ = \dfrac{2.3}{2.28 \times 10^{-10}} \\ \\ N_{bond} = 1.009 \times 10^{10}$

$\text{Finally; the stiffness of a single interatomic spring is:}$

$k_{si} =\dfrac{N_{bond}}{N_{chain}}\times k_s$

$k_{si} =\dfrac{(1.009 \times 10^{10})}{2.77*10^{13}}}\times (124803.42)$

$\mathbf{k_{si} =45.46 \ N/m}$

Answer:

1 million dollars once

Explanation:

Well, both would be nice. In total, you will get more from the million dollars because it takes over 2,739 years to get 1 million dollars worth of pennies.(if you get 1 a day that is)

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 $m/ s^{2}$

$F - w = ma \\$

$F = w + ma$

$F = m ( a +g )$

$F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\$

$F = 75 ( 11.5 )$

$F = 862.5 N$

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction. Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.
