What elements make up most of the mantle?

Physics
2 answers:
olchik [2.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: 44% oxygen, 22% magnesium and 21% silicon.

Explanation:

Mantle covers vast majority of the earth's volume. Movement or convection in this layer is responsible for the seismic activity.The structure and composition of the mantle is either the result of geophysical investigation or rocks derived from mantle.

The constituents of mantle are 44% oxygen, 22% magnesium and 21% silicon. There is some amount of iron, aluminium, potassium and sodium in mantle.

I think the mantle is mostly made up of silicon. I am not sure of the answer.

Water, initially saturated vapor at 4 bar, fills a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 360°C.
salantis [7]

Explanation:

Using table A-3, we will obtain the properties of saturated water as follows.

Hence, pressure is given as p = 4 bar.

u_{1} = u_{g} = 2553.6 kJ/kg

v_{1} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg

At state 2, we will obtain the properties. In a closed rigid container, the specific volume will remain constant.

Also, the specific volume saturated vapor at state 1 and 2 becomes equal. So, v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg

According to the table A-4, properties of superheated water vapor will obtain the internal energy for state 2 at v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg and temperature T_{2} = 360^{o}C so that it will fall in between range of pressure p = 5.0 bar and p = 7.0 bar.

Now, using interpolation we will find the internal energy as follows.

 u_{2} = u_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}} + (\frac{v_{2} - v_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}{v_{\text{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - v_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}})(u_{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - u_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}})

     u_{2} = 2963.2 + (\frac{0.4625 - 0.6173}{0.4397 - 0.6173})(2960.9 - 2963.2)

                   = 2963.2 - 2.005

                   = 2961.195 kJ/kg

Now, we will calculate the heat transfer in the system by applying the equation of energy balance as follows.

      Q - W = \Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E ......... (1)

Since, the container is rigid so work will be equal to zero and the effects of both kinetic energy and potential energy can be ignored.

            \Delta K.E = \Delta P.E = 0

Now, equation will be as follows.

           Q - W = \Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E

           Q - 0 = \Delta U + 0 + 0

           Q = \Delta U

Now, we will obtain the heat transfer per unit mass as follows.

          \frac{Q}{m} = \Delta u

         \frac{Q}{m} = u_{2} - u_{1}

                      = (2961.195 - 2553.6)

                      = 407.595 kJ/kg

Thus, we can conclude that the heat transfer is 407.595 kJ/kg.

A uniform meterstick in static rotational equilibrium when a mass of 220 g is suspended from the 5.0 cm mark, a mass of 120 g is
KatRina [158]

Answer:

m = 170 g

Explanation:

Meter stick is suspended at 40 cm mark

So here the torque due to additional mass and torque due to weight of the spring must be counter balanced

given that

1) 220 g is suspended at x = 5 cm

2) 120 g is suspended at x = 90 cm

3) mass of the scale is acting at its mid point i.e. x = 50 cm

now with respect to the suspension point the torque must be balanced

so we have

220(40 - 5) = m(50 - 40) + 120(90 - 40)

220(35) = 10 m + 6000

by solving above equation we have

m = 170 g

Charcoal appears black in color because it
steposvetlana [31]
C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.
