It is powered by the Earth's rotation and the moon gives a little boost.
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.</u>
- <u>2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.</u>
Explanation:
Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.
The gravitational <em>potential energy </em>is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the <em>position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.</em>
Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,
Answer:
D. Asthenosphere
Explanation:
The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.
Answer:
9.412 rad/s.
Explanation:
Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position.
V = x/t
Where x is the distance in m
= 2.4 m
t is time taken in s
= 8.5 s
V = 2.4/8.5
= 0.2824 m/s.
Equating linear velocity and angular velocity,
V = ω*r
Where,
ω Is the angular speed in rad/s
r is the radius of the circle in m
= 3 cm
= 3cm * 1m/100 cm = 0.03 m
ω = V/r
= 0.2824/0.03
= 9.412 rad/s.
