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.

The atlas stone’s is a strong man competition where athletes have to load 5 stones of masses 100kg, 120kg, 140kg, 160kg and 180k
lyudmila [28]

Answer: 6250 joules

Explanation:

The work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to:

w = M*g*H

where h = 10m/s^2

then the total work that he did is equal to the sum of the work for every stone:

W = (100kg*g*H) + (120kg*g*H) + (140kg*g*H) + (160kg*g*H) + (180kg*g*H)

 = (100kg + 120kg + 140kg + 160kg + 180kg)*g*H

= (500kg)*g*H

and now we can repalce g by 10m/s^2 and H by 125cm

But you can notice that we have two different units of distance, so knowing that 100cm = 1m

we can write H =  125cm = (125/100) m = 1.25 m

Then we have:

H = 500kg*10m/s^2*1.25m = 6250 J

Suppose I have a vector that is 7 units long and that makes an angle of +30 degrees from the positive x-axis. I want to add to t
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Explanation:

We have given first vector which has length of 7 units and makes an angle of 30° with positive x-axis

So x component of the vector =7cos30^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06

y component of the vector =7sin30^{\circ}=7\times 0.5=3.5

So vector will be 6.06i+3.5j

Now other vector of length of 7 units and makes an angle of 120° with positive x-axis

So x component of vector  =7cos120^{\circ}=7\times -0.5=-3.5i

y component of the vector =7sin120^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06j

Now sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j
