Before comparing and contrasting these layers of Earth, we first define what lithosphere and asthenosphere are.
Lithosphere primarily consists of the outermost layers of the Earth, which are the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle. Simply, the ground you stepped on is part of earth's lithosphere. On the other hand, asthenosphere comprises of hot and partially molten rock just located at the upper portion of the mantle but just below the lithosphere. Both have similarities and differences, which are as follows:
SIMILARITIES:
- Both are the passageways of earthquakes P-waves (Primary waves) just before it reaches the earth's surface.
- Both are made of the same material (Silicon oxide rocks, which are rich in iron and magnesium)
DIFFERENCES:
- Rocks in lithosphere can bend (it deforms, resulting in fault formations), however, rocks in the asthenosphere, not only bend but also flow (plastic in nature).
- Lithosphere has relatively low temperatures compared to asthenosphere.
- Due to its depth, pressure against rocks in asthenosphere is comparatively higher compared to lithosphere.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of cannon and cart is 
Spring constant 
mass of Projectile 
Launch Velocity of cannon 
Launch angle 
As the External Force is zero therefore we can conserve momentum
Initially both Projectile and cannon is at rest
Conserving momentum in horizontal direction




i.e. cannon is moving in opposite direction of Projectile
Answer:
a) 145.6kgm^2
b) 158.4kg-m^2/s
c) 0.76rads/s
Explanation:
Complete qestion: a) the rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its axis of rotation
(b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the child, while running, about the axis of rotation of the merry-go-round and
(c) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and child after the child has jumped on.
a) From I = MK^2
I = (160Kg)(0.91m)^2
I = 145.6kgm^2
b) The magnitude of the angular momentum is given by:
L= r × p The raduis and momentum are perpendicular.
L = r × mc
L = (1.20m)(44.0kg)(3.0m/s)
L = 158.4kg-m^2/s
c) The total moment of inertia comprises of the merry- go - round and the child. the angular speed is given by:
L = Iw
158.4kgm^2/s = [145kgm^2 + ( 44.0kg)(1.20)^2]
w = 158.6/208.96
w = 0.76rad/s
Stars are located at a distance which are measured in terms of light years. Light year is an Astronomical unit used to measure distance between distant Celestial bodies.
1 light year = 9460730472580<span>800 metres
But no star is located at a distance of 1 light year. Some stars are located at millions of light years and light travels ~ 3 x 10</span>⁸ m/s. Thus light takes time to reach our atmosphere.
