The boundary between the crust and mantle is marked by a seismic-velocity discontinuity is called Mohorovicic discontinuity.

Mohorovicic discontinuity was discovered by Andrija Mohorovicic in 1909 who was a Croatian seismologist. He realized that the velocity of a seismic wave is related to the material's density where it is moving through. He decoded that the acceleration of the seismic waves that are observed within outer shell of the earth is a compositional change. Thus, the acceleration should be caused by a material of higher density.

A roller coaster car of mass m= 300 kg is released from rest at the top of a 60 m high hill (position A), and rolls with a negli
Andrews [41]

Answer: The principle of conservation of energy, angular speed and centripetal force

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .

in a softball game, a batter hits the ball at the velocity of 27m/s and angle of 40 shown below. What is the maximum range of th
Nata [24]

Answer:

R = 73.25 m

Explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of the ball is 27 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 40 degrees

The maximum range of the ball is given by :

R=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plugging all the values we get :

R=\dfrac{(27)^2\sin2(40)}{9.8}\\R=73.25\ m

So, the maximum range of the ball is 73.25 m

(a) find the magnitude of the gravitational force between a planet with mass 7.50 3 1024 kg and its moon, with mass 2.70 3 1022
anzhelika [568]
<span>The magnitude of the gravitational force between two bodies is the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them. So we have F = M1*M2 / r^2. M1 = 7.503 * 10e24 and M2 = 2.703 * 10e22 and r= 2.803 * 10e8; r^2 = 5.606 *10e16. So we have 7.503 *2.703 *10^(24+22) = 20.280 * 10^(46). Then we divide our answer by 5.606 * 10e16 which is the distance ; then we have 3.6175 * 10 e (46- 16) = 3.6175 * 10e30. To find the acceleration we use Newton's second law F = ma. F is 3.6175 * 10e30 and M is 7.503 * 10e24 so a = F/M and then we have 3.6175/7.503 * 10e (30-24) = 0.48 * 10e6. Similarly for moon, we have a = 3.6715/2.703 * 10e(30-22). = 1.358 * 10e8</span>
