The mantle<span> is heated in the core, where it is hotter it is more buoyant, whereas in areas where it is cooler it is less buoyant. This results in</span>convection<span> cells in the </span>mantle<span>, and produces horizontal motion of </span>mantle<span> material close to the Earth surface.</span>

A point on a wheel of radius 40 cm that is rotating at a constant 5.0 revolutions per second is located 0.20 m from the axis of
Margarita [4]

Answer:

197.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of a point moving by circular motion is given by:

a=\omega^2 r

where

\omega is the angular velocity

r is the distance from the axis of rotation

The point on the wheel makes 5.0 revolutions per second, so the frequency is

f=\frac{5}{1}=5 Hz

and the angular velocity is

\omega=2\pi f = 2\pi (5)=31.4 rad/s

While the distance of the point from the axis of rotation is

r=0.20 m

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=(31.4)^2(0.20)=197.2 m/s^2

Answer:

(1) 1×10⁻⁴

Explanation:

From the question,

α = (ΔL/L)/(ΔT)............. Equation 1

Where α = linear expansivity of the metal plate, ΔL/L = Fractional change in Length, ΔT = Rise in temperature.

Given: ΔL/L = 1×10⁻⁴, ΔT = 10°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

α  = 1×10⁻⁴/10

α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹ .

β = (ΔA/A)/ΔT................... Equation 2

Where β = Coefficient of Area expansivity, ΔA/A = Fractional change in area.

make ΔA/A the subject of the equation

ΔA/A = β×ΔT.......................... Equation 3

But,

β = 2α.......................... Equation 4

Substitute equation 4 into equation 3

ΔA/A = 2α×ΔT................ Equation 5

Given: ΔT = 5°C, α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹

Substitute into equation 5

ΔA/A = ( 2)×(1×10⁻⁵)×(5)

ΔA/A  = 10×10⁻⁵

ΔA/A  = 1×10⁻⁴

Hence the right option is (1) 1×10⁻⁴

How would the atmosphere of earth differ if the earth was much larger
Juli2301 [7.4K]
If the earth just doubles its size in an instant, the oxygen present in the atmosphere could be much larger. Due to these, we could theorize that insects could grow much larger because the size of their body is heavily dependent on the maximum amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere. Air pressure also increases thus those aerial enthusiasts would enjoy their professions.
