scientists have determined the composition of the lithosphere and asthenosphere but have struggled to discover much about the lo

wer mantle (mesosphere). what are the compositions of the upper two parts of the mantle? why is it difficult for scientists to learn about the mesosphere? How could they try to gather more information about it?

Explanation:

The lithosphere is composed of the crust and a  portion of the upper mantle. the athenosphere is partially molten upper mantle material that behaves plasticly & can flow.

It is harder to work on the lower layers because its gets extremely hot & sometimes it can get so hot that it melts tools used  to research these layers.

A rocket is launched upward with a constant acceleration of 165 m/s^2. After 8.00 seconds of ascension a passenger on the rocket
Novay_Z [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the linear kinematic movement. We will start by finding the speed of the body from time and the acceleration given.

Through the position equations we will calculate the distance traveled.

Finally, using this same position relationship and considering the previously found speed, we can determine the time to reach your goal.

For time (t) and acceleration (a) we have to,

t = 8s, a = 165m/s^2

The velocity would be,

u = a*t \\u = 165*8\\u = 1320m/s

Now the position is,

h= \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = \frac{1}{2} 165*8^2

h = 5280m

Now with the initial speed and position found we will have the time is,

h=ut +\frac{1}{2} at^2

-5280=1320t - \frac{1}{2} 9.8t^2

4.9t^2-1320t-5280=0

Solving the polynomian we have,

t = 273.33s = 4.56minutes

Therefore  the rocket will take to hit the ground around to 4.56min

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.

A 0.25 kg mass is placed on a vertically oriented spring that is stretched 0.56 meters from its equilibrium position. If the spr
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The speed of the ball when it reaches equilibrium position is 3.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 0.25 kg

initial displacement of the object, h₁ = 0.56 m

spring constant, k = 105 N/m

displacement at equilibrium position, h₂ = 0

initial velocity of the object, v₁ = 0

velocity of the object at equilibrium position = v₂

The change in gravitational potential energy at the equilibrium position is given as;

ΔP.E = mg(h₂ - h₁)

The change in kinetic energy of the object at the equilibrium position is given as;

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(v₂² - v₁²)  

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy;

ΔK.E  +  ΔP.E = 0

¹/₂m(v₂² - v₁²)  +  mg(h₂ - h₁) = 0

¹/₂m(v₂² - 0)  +  mg(0 - h₁) = 0

¹/₂mv₂²  -  mgh₁  =  0

¹/₂mv₂²  = mgh

¹/₂v₂² = gh

v₂² = 2gh

v₂ = √2gh

v₂ = √(2 x 9.8 x 0.56)

v₂ = 3.31 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it reaches equilibrium position is 3.31 m/s
