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.

PLZZZZZ ANSWER Which example describes a nonrenewable resource?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

I believe that the answer is D. There are drilling platforms all along the coast that are used to drill for natural gas that can be used to generate electricity.

Explanation:

Solar panels use the sun, and that is renewable.

The power plant uses tides and waves, they are renewable.

Windmills use wind, that is renewable.

So, the answer is D.

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>

If the opening to the harbor acts just like a single-slit which diffracts the ocean waves entering it, what is the largest angle
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The angle that the wave would be \theta = sin ^{-1}\frac{2 \lambda}{D}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  the  opening to  the  harbor acts just like a single-slit so a boat in the harbor that at angle equal to the second diffraction minimum would be safe and the  on at angle greater than the diffraction first minimum would be slightly affected

  The minimum is as a result of destructive interference

       And for single-slit this is mathematically represented as

               D sin \ \theta =m \lambda

where D is the slit with

          \theta is the angle relative to the original direction of the wave

         m is the order of the minimum j

        \lambda is the wavelength

Now since in the question we are told to obtain the largest angle at which the boat would be safe

      And the both is safe at the angle equal to the second minimum then

    The the angle is evaluated as

           \theta = sin ^{-1}[\frac{m\lambda}{D} ]

Since for second minimum m= 2

The  equation becomes

               \theta = \frac{2 \lambda}{D}
