<h2>Answer:</h2>

There would be 2 layers: lithosphere and asthenosphere

Explanation:

They contradict each other because the lithosphere consists of the crust as well as the portion of the upper mantle, which acts as a brittle, rigid solid. the asthenosphere is a partially molten upper mantle material that acts plastically and can flow.

<h3>Or you can think of it as:</h3>

The lithosphere is the brittle crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a solid but it can flow, like toothpaste. The lithosphere rests on the asthenosphere.

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?​
murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

or

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at a constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcyc
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.807 s

(b) 145.581 m

Explanation:

Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.

The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at v_c = 23m/s speed is

s_c = \Delta t v_c = 23\Delta t

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after Δt (seconds) at m_m = 23 m/s speed and acceleration of a = 8 m/s2 is

s_m = \Delta t v_m + a\Delta t^2/2

s_m = 23\Delta t + 8\Delta t^2/2 = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

We know that the motorcycle catches up to the car after Δt, so it must have covered the distance that the car travels, plus their initial distance:

s_m = s_c + 58

23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2 = 23\Delta t + 58

4 \Delta t^2 = 58

\Delta t^2 = 14.5

\Delta t = \sqrt{14.5} = 3.807s

(b)

s_m = 23 \Delta t + 4 \Delta t^2

s_m = 23*3.807 + 58 = 145.581 m

When you strike two tuning forks simultaneously, you hear three beats per second. The frequency of the first tuning fork is 440
tekilochka [14]

Answer:4

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of beats is 3 beats per second

Frequency of first tuning fork is f_1=440\ Hz

Beat frequency is difference in the frequency of tuning forks i.e.

either f_1-f_2 or f_2-f_1 =3

so f_2=3+440=443\ Hz

or

f_2=440-3=437\ Hz

so there is not enough information given to decide.
