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.

Which is not a simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) (a) Simple Pendulum (b) Projectile motion (c) None (d) Spring motion
Scrat [10]

Answer:

b) Projectile MOTION

Explanation:

SHM is periodic motion or to and fro motion of a particle about its mean position in a straight line

In this type of motion particle must be in straight line motion

So here we can say

a) Simple Pendulum : it is a straight line to and fro motion about mean position so it is a SHM

b) Projectile motion : it is a parabolic path in which object do not move to and fro about its mean position So it is not SHM

d) Spring Motion : it is a straight line to and fro motion so it is also a SHM

So correct answer will be

b) Projectile MOTION

How are cactus adapted to survive in deserts?
andreev551 [17]

1. They have evolved their leaves into spikes for minimum water loss through transpiration.

2. They have a waxy layer for minimum water loss.

3. They have thick walls for minimum water loss.

4. They can take water from atmosphere.

5. They change the photo energy from Sun into an intermediate stage and store it, so that they can make food even in night.

A 3.0 kg object moving 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = M) ini
finlep [7]
<h2>Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Let the mass of object be m and M.

Initial velocity object 1 be u₁,  object 2 be u₂

Final velocity object 1 be v₁,  object 2 be v₂

Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s

Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

We have

            Initial momentum = Final momentum

            24 = 3v₁ + 6M

            v₁ + 2M = 8

             v₁ = 8 - 2M

            Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

            96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

            v₁² + 12 M = 64

Substituting  v₁ = 8 - 2M

           (8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64    

           64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64    

            4M² = 20 M

               M = 5 kg

Option 2 is the correct answer.

Westkost [7]
The correct one is A. Technician Only.
The distribution of service information is regulated by <span>United States Environmental Protection Agency.
According to the rules,  all vehicle manufacturers are required to make their service information available for everyone online for 'reasonable prices'.
Because of this, vehicle manufacturers started discontinuing the paper format.</span>
