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.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.368kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of cop
Katarina [22]
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.

Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.

A very light ping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a very heavy stationary bowling ball. The Ping-Pong ba
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows or

which means (1) so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2) therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:
