What area of earth contains semi-solid rock and lava?

Below the crust is the mantle, a dense, hot layer of semi-solid rock approximately 2,900 km thick. The mantle, which contains more iron, magnesium, and calcium than the crust, is hotter and denser because temperature and pressure inside the Earth increase with depth.

Hope this helped! :)

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power $P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt$

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2$

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2$

$I=534.375\ kg m^2$

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2$

$K.E=46880620.9\ J$

$K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J$

$K.E =46.88\ MJ$

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}$

$t=4189.45\ sec$

$t=1.163\ hours$

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth ... Select one: a. varies inversely with the distance from the center of Earth. by. v

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

b. varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

Explanation:

Comparing the Newton's law of universal gravitation and second law of motion;

from Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma ............. 1

from New ton's law of universal gravitation,

F = $\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }$ ........... 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

mg = $\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }$

g = $\frac{GM}{r^{2} }$

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity near Earth, g, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?

Doss [256]

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).
