Answer:

a. by moving the book without acceleration and keeping the height of the book constant

Explanation:

FOR CONSTANT KINETIC ENERGY:

The kinetic energy of a body depends upon its speed according to its formula:

ΔK.E = (1/2)mΔv²

So, for Δv = 0 m/s

ΔK.E = 0 J

So, for keeping kinetic energy constant, the books must be moved at constant speed without acceleration.

FOR CONSTANT POTENTIAL ENERGY:

The potential energy of a body depends upon its height according to its formula:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

So, for Δh = 0 m/s

ΔP.E = 0 J

So, for keeping potential energy constant, the books must be moved at constant height.

So, the correct option is:

<u>a. by moving the book without acceleration and keeping the height of the book constant</u>

Answer:

Distance is 100m, displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is how much you travelled in total (100m)

Displacement is when you compare your final and initial positions.

It is usually Final position - Initial position.

Since you start and finish at the same point, it would be 0 - 0 = 0m

So the displacement is 0m.

What is the name of the theory describing how the lithosphere is broken into segments, or plates, which "float" on the asthenosp

kogti [31]

Answer:

C. Plate Tectonics

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics is when the lithosphere is separated into plates. These plates move over or float over the asthenosphere. The movement of these plates cause earthquakes and can interact with the volcanic activity.

Rank the deformations of the following rods in terms of the magnitude of the average normal strain: (a) The length of a 1-m-long

kipiarov [429]

To solve this problem we will consider the concepts related to the normal deformation on a surface, generated when the change in length is taken per unit of established length, that is, the division between the longitudinal fraction gained or lost, over the initial length. In general mode this normal deformation can be defined as

$\epsilon = \frac{\delta}{l} = \frac{l_0-l}{l}$

Here,

$\delta$ = Change in final length $(l_0)$ and the initial length $l$

PART A)

$\epsilon = \frac{\delta_1}{l}$

$\epsilon = \frac{l_0-l}{l_0}$

$\epsilon = \frac{1.02-1}{1}$

$\epsilon = 0.01961$

PART B)

$\epsilon = \frac{\delta_1}{l}$

$\epsilon = \frac{l_0-l}{l_0}$

$\epsilon = \frac{2-1.05}{2}$

$\epsilon = 0.475$

PART C)

$\epsilon = \frac{\delta_1}{l}$

$\epsilon = \frac{l_0-l}{l_0}$

$\epsilon = \frac{3.07-3}{3}$

$\epsilon = 0.0233$

Therefore the rank of this deformation would be B>C>A
