_____ is why the earth's interior is layered

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid, and the mantle is solid/plastic. This is due to the relative melting points of the different layers (nickel–iron core, silicate crust and mantle) and the increase in temperature and pressure as depth increases.

Explanation: I just did a quiz with this question

Water is discharged from a pipeline at a velocity v (in ft/sec) given by v = 1306p(1/2), where p is the pressure (in psi). If th

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

$acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\$ .

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

$\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\$

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

$a=653*0.1667*0.354\\$

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\ a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

An enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

t = 0.437 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is a constant that is worth v = 343 m / s

v = d / t

t = d / v

the time it takes for the sound to reach Clark at d = 150 m is

t = 150/343

t = 0.437 s

This same sound takes much longer to reach you

t₂ = 127 10³/343

t₂ = 370 s

A ray is incident on a film of thickness t and the index of refraction n=1.6 at an angle θ = 35 degrees. Find the angle of refra

lidiya [134]

Answer

Given,

refractive index of film, n = 1.6

refractive index of air, n' = 1

angle of incidence, i = 35°

angle of refraction, r = ?

Using Snell's law

n' sin i = n sin r

1 x sin 35° = 1.6 x sin r

r = 21°

Angle of refraction is equal to 21°.

Now,

distance at which refractive angle comes out

d = 2.5 mm

α be the angle with horizontal surface and incident ray.

α = 90°-21° = 69°

t be the thickness of the film.

So,

$tan \alpha = \dfrac{t}{d/2}$

$tan 61^0 = \dfrac{t}{2.5/2}$

t = 2.26 mm

Hence, the thickness of the film is equal to 2.26 mm.
