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.

1. What is the average velocity of a car that moved 40 km East and 80 km West in 2 hours?
irina [24]

The average velocity is 20 km/h west

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is given by:

velocity = \frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

The displacement of an object is a vector connecting the initial position and the final position of motion.

In this problem, the car moved

40 km East

80 km West

Therefore, the displacement is given by (taking West as positive direction)

d=80 km - 40 km = 40 km West

The time elapsed is

t = 2 h

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{40 km}{2h}=20 km/h in the West direction.

Our atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lb/in2. What is the force on one square foot of the earth’s surface caused by the atmos
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The force on one square foot of the earth’s surface caused by the atmosphere is 101.4 kN.

Explanation:

To force is given by:

F = P*A   (1)

Where:

P: is the pressure = 14.7 lb/in²

A: is the area = 1 m²

By entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

F = P*A = 14.7 \frac{lb}{in^{2}}*\frac{4.45 N}{1 lb}*\frac{1550 in^{2}}{1 m^{2}}*1 m^{2} = 101.4 kN                  

Therefore, the force on one square foot of the earth’s surface caused by the atmosphere is 101.4 kN.

I hope it helps you!
