Hello There!

The mantle is the layer located directly under the sima. It is the largest layer of the Earth, 1800 miles thick. The mantle is composed of very hot, dense rock. This layer of rock even flows like asphalt under a heavy weight. This flow is due to great temperature differences from the bottom to the top of the mantle. The movement of the mantle is the reason that the plates of the Earth move! The temperature of the mantle varies from 1600 degrees Fahrenheit at the top to about 4000 degrees Fahrenheit near the bottom!

Hope This helped!

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.

The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik I, launched October 4, 1957. The mass of Sputnik I was 83.5 kg, an
9966 [12]

Answer:

-4.941*10^8J.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to gravitational potential energy, as well as the concept of perigee and apogee of a celestial body.

By conservation of energy we know that,

\Delta U = \Delta_{perogee}-\Delta_{Apogee}

Where,

U= \frac{-GmM_e}{r}

Replacing

\Delta U = \frac{-GmM_e}{r_p}- \frac{-GmM_e}{r_a}

\Delta U = GmM_e (\frac{1}{r_A}-\frac{1}{r_p})

Our values are given by,

m = 85.5Kg

M_e = 5.97*10^{24}Kg

r_A = 7330Km

r_p = 6610Km

G = 6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg^2

Replacing at the equation,

\Delta U = (6.67*10^{-11})(85.5)(5.97*10^{24}) (\frac{1}{7330}-\frac{1}{6610})

\Delta U = -4.941*10^8J

Therefore the Energy necessary for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee was -4.941*10^8J.

A bicycle rider travels 50.0 km in 2.5 hours. What is the cyclists speed
krek1111 [17]
Hi,
Recall the formula V=d/t, where V stands for velocity or speed, d stands for distance and t stands for time. By substituting your values you get: V=50.0km/2.5h, which equals to 20km/h.
