In which layer of Earth’s interior does convection occur?

Physics
2 answers:
Tresset [83]2 years ago

<u>Answer: </u>

Earth convection occurs at the mantle layer

<u>Explanation: </u>

The movement of less dense material  above the more dense material  is called as convection.  The mantle is the layer that lies between the core and the crust of the earth. The mantle is composed of rocks containing silicon, magnesium, oxygen,  aluminium, iron and other minerals.

The heat energy of the core is transmitted  to the rock in the lower mantle.  This makes the rock with less temperature that lies  in  upper mantle to move down slowly.  Now the rocks that are pushed up  is eventually cooled and again pushed down by the hotter rock  from the lower mantle. This is called as convection in earth’s mantle .

If the frog lands with a velocity equal to its average velocity and comes to a full stop 0.25s later, what is the frog’s average
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Average accelation = -4V

Explanation:

a=\frac{V-V0}{t}

V=0 m/s (because the frog stopped)

V0 = V (average velocity)

t= 0,25 s

So;

a=\frac{V-V0}{t}=\frac{0-V}{0.25}=-4V

Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
