<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.

 In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

B) Electrons and protons  

Explanation:

Each proton has a positive charge, and each electron has a negative charge. If the atom is electrically neutral, there must be the same number of electrons and protons.

A) and C) are wrong. Neutrons have no charge, so they can't counteract that of the protons or the electrons.

D) is wrong. The atomic number is the number of protons, and the mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons. The neutrons can't  counteract the charge of the protons,

Amazon rectangular bar of low carbon steel A-36 is exposed to an axial strees of 150 MPa. What is the original length of the bar
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.8m

Explanation:

Let the Elastics of the steel ASTM-36 E = 200000 MPa

The strain of the bar when subjected to 150 MPa is

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{150}{200000} = 0.00075

Therefore, if the bar elongates by 1.35 mm, then the original length L would be:

\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}

L = \frac{\Delta L}{\epsilon} = \frac{1.35}{0.00075} = 1800 mm or 1.8m

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = \dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}= 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

What is the Sl unit for speed
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.

If the primary to secondary voltage ratio is 4:1 for a transformer, what is the secondary voltage if the primary voltage is 460
Vesnalui [34]
<h2>The secondary voltage is 115 V.</h2>

Explanation:

The primary to secondary voltage ratio is given as 4:1 .

That is

                 \frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{4}{1}=4

We need to find what is the secondary voltage if the primary voltage is 460 volts.

That is

                    V_p=460V

Substituting in ratio equation

                    \frac{V_p}{V_s}=4\\\\\frac{460}{V_s}=4\\\\V_s=\frac{460}{4}\\\\V_s=115V

The secondary voltage is 115 V.
