HELP ASAP What happens when the mantle melts?

2 answers:

6 0

With convection, hot mantle material rises closer to the Earth's surface, raising the geothermal gradient in the area. This causes the temperature in the earth's mantle to rise, which causes the mantle to partially melt. The partial melt contains both liquid and crystals that need a higher temperature to melt.

Partial melting is an important process in geology with respect to the chemical differentiation of crustal rocks. On the Earth, partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges produces oceanic crust, and partial melting of the mantle and oceanic crust at subduction zones creates continental crust.

Which element is the biggest contributor to Climate Change?

sergey [27]

Answer:

carbon dioxide (CO2)

Explanation:

the burning or combustion of these fossil fuels creates gases that are released into the atmosphere. Of these gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common and is the gas most responsible for exacerbating the green- house effect that is changing global climate patterns.

Q7:<br> A 4 kg toy is lifted off the ground and falls at 3 m/s. What is the toy's energy?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The toy's energy is 18 J.

Explanation:

We have, a 4 kg toy is lifted off the ground and falls at 3 m/s. It is required to find toy's energy.

The toy will have kinetic energy due to its motion. The energy is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 3^2\\\\E=18\ J$

So, the toy's energy is 18 J.

Tres móviles, A, B y C, con las mismas características tienen los siguientes estados: A se encuentra inicialmente en reposo y ca

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

La respuesta es sí, hay una fuerza que actúa sobre el móvil A y es la única fuerza ya que A cae libremente bajo la influencia de la fuerza.

Explanation:

Según la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, un cuerpo continuará en su estado de reposo o en un movimiento uniforme en línea recta a menos que actúen sobre él fuerzas impresas.

Dado que el móvil A cae libremente, desde su estado de reposo inicial, según la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, experimenta una fuerza que actúa sobre él para hacer que caiga y continúe en caída libre.

El móvil B se mueve con una velocidad constante, por lo tanto, de acuerdo con la primera ley de movimiento de Newton, no hay fuerzas impresas que actúen sobre él.

El móvil C está completamente en reposo en el suelo, por lo tanto, tampoco hay fuerzas que actúen sobre él.

La respuesta es sí, hay una fuerza actuando sobre el móvil A y es la única fuerza cuando A cae libremente bajo la influencia de la fuerza.

A particle moving along the x-axis has a position given by m, where t is measured in s. What is the magnitude of the acceleratio

8090 [49]

Question:

A particle moving along the x-axis has a position given by x=(24t - 2.0t³)m, where t is measured in s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at the instant when its velocity is zero

Answer:

24 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

x=(24t - 2.0t³)m

First find velocity function v(t):

v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 2*3t²

v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 6t²

Find the acceleration function a(t):

a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -6*2t

a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -12t

At acceleration = 0, take time as T in velocity function.

0 =v(T) = 24 - 6T²

Solve for T

$T = \sqrt{\frac{-24}{6}} = \sqrt{-4} = -2$

Substitute -2 for t in acceleration function:

a(t) = a(T) = a(-2) = -12(-2) = 24 m/s

Acceleration = 24m/s

In a tank full of water, the pressure on a surface 2 meters below the water level is 1.5 kPA. What's the pressure on a surface 6

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

P = 40.7kPa

Explanation:

To find the pressure on a surface 6 meter below you use the following formula, which takes into account the heights in which pressures are measured and also the density of the fluid and the gravitational acceleration:

$P_2-P_1=-\rho g(y_2-y_1)$ (1)

P2: pressure for a height of -6 m = ?

P1: pressure for a height of -2 m = 1.5kPa = 1500 Pa

ρ: density of water = 1000kg/m^3

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 ms^2

y2: -6m

y1: -2m

(the height is measure from the water level, because of that, the heights are negative)

You solve the equation (1) for P1:

$P_1=P_2-\rho g(y_2-y_1)$ (2)

Next, you replace the values of all variables in equation (2):

$P_2=1500Pa-(1000kg/m^3)(9.8m/s^2)(-6-(-2))m=40700Pa\\\\P_2=40.7kPa$

hence, the pressure on a surface 6 m below the water level is 40.7kPa
