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 plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m

Korolek [52]

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement $s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2$ , u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 $m/s^2$

$1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds$

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0 $m/s^2$

So $s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m$

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.

Please help me it's URGENT (#10 btw and also how do I solve for time

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

t = 12s

Explanation:

Given:

v-initial = 0 m/s

x = 360 m

a = 5.0 m/s^2

Solve:

x = (v-initial)t + 1/2(a*t^2)

360 = 0t + 1/2 (5.0t^2)

360 = 2.5 t^2

144 = t^2

t = sqrt(144) = 12

Therefore, it takes 12 seconds.

A wire carries a steady current of 2.20

alina1380 [7]

By definition we know that the force is the vector product of the vector of the current by the length with the magnetic field vector. The current in this case goes in a positive "Y" direction. If we assume that the magnetic field goes in the positive "K" direction, then the result will be in the positive "X" direction. Attached solution.
