Answer:

material near the core heats up, warming up the bottom layer of the mantle. Density begins to decrease due to particles moving more rapidly. The mantle's material then rises starting a convection current.

Answer:

Convection currents within Earth's mantle form as material near the core heats up. As the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, particles move more rapidly, decreasing its density and causing it to rise. The rising material begins the convection current.Feb 24, 2012

A car travels eastwards at 60km/h for 2h, then travels northwards at 20km/h for 8h. Find,

sveta [45]

Answer:

$a) Average\ Speed=28\ km/h\\b) Average\ Velocity= 20\ km/h$

Explanation:

$We\ are\ given\ that,\\Velocity\ of\ the\ car\ Eastwards=60\ km/h\\Time\ taken\ by\ the\ car\ Eastwards=2\ h\\Velocity\ of\ the\ car\ Northwards=20\ km/h\\Time\ taken\ by\ the\ car\ Northwards=8\ h\\Hence,\\As\ we\ know\ that,\\Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Distance= Speed* Time\\Now,\ lets\ find\ the\ distance\ covered\ by\ the\ car\ in\ both\ the\ cases.$

$Hence,\\Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Eastward\ Journey=60*2=120\ km\\Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Northward\ Journey=20*8=160\ km\\Now,\\As\ we\ know\ that\ Average\ Speed=\frac{Total\ Distance}{Total\ Time} \\Here,\\Total\ distance\ of\ the\ car=Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Northward\ Journey+Distance\ Covered\ During\ its\ Eastward\ Journey\\Hence,\\Total\ distance\ of\ the\ car=120+160=280\ km\\Total\ time\ taken\ by\ the\ car=8+2=10\ hours\\Hence,\\$ $Average\ Speed\ Of\ the\ Car\ throughout\ its\ journey=\frac{280}{10}=28\ km/h$

$Now,\\For\ Average\ Velocity\ we\ need\ to\ consider\ displacement\ as:\\Average\ Velocity\ =\frac{Total\ Displacement}{Total\ Time} \\Now,\\As\ we\ already\ know\ that\ displacement\ is\ the\ shortest\ distance\\ from\ the\ initial\ to\ the\ final\ point.\\We\ observe\ that, \\The\ car\ forms\ a\ right\ triangle\ during\ its\ complete\ journey.\\Hence,\\As\ we\ already\ know\ that,\\Distance\ travelled\ Eastwards= 120\ km\\Distance\ travelled\ Northwards= 160\ km\\Hence,\\$ $We\ may\ apply\ Pythagoras\ Property\ to\ find\ the\ net\ displacement.\\Hence,\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\120^2+160^2=c^2\\14400+25600=c^2\\40000=c^2\\c=\sqrt{40000}\\c=200\\Hence,\\Total\ displacement=200\ km\\Total\ Time\ taken=2+8=10\ hours\\Hence,\\Average\ Velocity\ Of\ the\ Car=\frac{200}{10}=20\ km/h$

What types of cuts do jig saw sanders make?

LuckyWell [14K]

The jigsaw can be used to make both straight and curved cuts in a wide variety of materials, including wood, particleboard, plywood, plastic, metal, even ceramic tile. There is also way more than those, but those are just the basics or common things. Hope this helps!

For a two-level system, the weight of a given energy distribution can be expressed in terms of the number of systems, N, and the

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

W = N!/(n0! * n1!)

Explanation:

Let n0 = number of particles in the lowest energy state

n1 = number of particles in the excited energy state.

Using this, we can say that N = n0 + n1

From this we can then express the weight, W of the close system by finding the factorials of each particles
