Convection currents generated within the asthenosphere push magma upward through volcanic vents and spreading centres to create new crust. Convection currents also stress the lithosphere above, and the cracking that often results manifests as earthquakes.

What ethical concepts inform your personal code of ethics? How has it changed, if at all, from Unit 1? Explain.
musickatia [10]
A code of ethics is a set of principles and rules used by individuals and organizations to govern their decision making process, as well as to distinguish right from wrong. These codes are often more complex and contextual than simple morality, acknowledging specific situations and providing guidance. Many codes of ethics also specify penalties for violations. Professional and personal codes of ethics ensure that adherents are behaving in a socially acceptable manner. Organizations with an established code of ethics usually have review processes and appeal procedures in place to guard against malicious or self-serving use of the code.

2. How have human activities and natural processes influenced the gradual or sudden change in global temperature? (You need a mi
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Human activities and natural processes have influenced the change in the global temperature by the following processes

1) Green house gas such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels the use of  industrial chemicals, the production of coal, and natural gas

2) Deforestation which reduces the natural process of conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen, thereby, increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

3) The accumulation of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in the trapping of heat in the atmosphere, causing the atmospheric temperature to rise

4) Changes in the amount of energy produced by the Sun can result in an increase or decrease in the atmospheric temperature

5) Volcanic activity that occurs at a sufficiently large scale can produce sulfur dioxide that blocks the rays of the Sun from reaching the Earth, resulting in a change of atmospheric temperature.

What is the mechanical work done by the initial load placed on a fiber if the fiber is linearly deformed by 3 nm?
algol [13]

Answer:

W=4.5\ k\times 10^{-18}\ J

Explanation:

The mechanical work done by the load placed on a fiber if the fiber deforms by 3 nano-meter can be given in relation to the energy stored in a stretched fiber.

  • We know according to the Hooke's law within the elastic limit the stress is directly proportional to the strain. The constant introduced is called stiffness constant defined as the magnitude of load applied for the deformation of one unit in the dimension of the object.

<u>The energy stored in a stretched fiber is equal to the work done:</u>

W=\frac{1}{2} k.\Delta x^2

where:

k = stiffness constant

\Delta x= deformation in the fiber = 3\times 10^{-9}\ m

W=4.5\ k\times 10^{-18}\ J

Please help me with my physics! Provide work please. <br><br> Question #5
Murljashka [212]

#4 is correct.
For #5, don't get all tangled up. Just close your eyes, breathe deeply, and murmur "F equals M A. Force equals mass times acceleration."

The force is 15N. The mass is 12kg. You really shouldn't have any trouble calculating the acceleration.
