Why does lithostatic pressure increase more rapidly with depth than hydrostatic pressure?

Physics
1 answer:
Rudiy273 years ago
3 0
<span>Answer: Because rock is more dense than water

Lithostatic pressure is pressure caused by soil or rock. It similar to hydrostatic pressure, the pressure caused by water. Pressure is force per area and force is dependent on the mass. Rock is denser than water, thus having more mass and more force.</span>

Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic field acting perpendicul
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The radius of coil 2 = 2.7 cm

Explanation:

The number of coils = 2

It is given that both carry equal current and rotates in the magnetic field.

The given radius of coil 1 = 4.0 cm

Coil 1 rotates = 0.21 T field

Coil 2 rotates = 0.45 T filed.

The radius of coil 2 need to be calculated.

Torque action on dipole is given byT =NIABsinθ

here T1 = T2

r1^{2} \times  B1 = r2^{2} \times B2 \\r2^{2} = 0.04 \times 0.04 \times \frac{0.21}{0.45} \\r2 = 0.027m   \ or \ 2.7 cm \\

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on hi
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.

If a population is growing what can you conclude about the ammount of resources available
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Generally speaking, as the human population grows, our consumption of natural resources increases. More humans consume more freshwater, more land, more clothing, etc. ... For example, natural gas plants have become increasingly more efficient, thus humans are able to obtain more energy out of the same amount of gas.

Rapid population growth is detrimental to achieving economic and social progress and to sustainable management of the natural resource base. But there remains a sizeable gap between the private and social interest in fertility reduction, and this gap needs to be narrowed.
