Hich of these best describes Earth’s mantle?

Physics
1 answer:
Neko [114]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases

Explanation:

The Earth's mantle is the middle layer of the earth. It is the largest layer of the earth consisting of about 83 % of the earth's volume and continues to a depth of 2900 km. Also, the mantle is hot and made of solid rock. It is hot since it is close to the core and its pressure and density increases with depth causing it to be more solid.

So, the Earth's mantle is the middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases.

Two capacitors, a 15 micro F and a 25 micro F, are connected in parallel to a 60 Hz source. The total capacitive reactance is :_
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em> 3980.89 ohms</em>

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance is expressed as;

X_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}

f is the frequency

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Given

f = 60H

C = C1+C2 (parallel connection)

C = 15μF + 25μF

C = 40μF

C = 40 * 10^{-6}F

Substitute into the formula:

X_c = \frac{1}{2(3.14)*60*40*10^{-6}}\\X_c =  \frac{1}{0.0002512}\\X_c = 3,980.89

<em>Hence the  total capacitive reactance is 3980.89 ohms</em>

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km

A 975-kg sports car (including driver) crosses the rounded top of a hill at determine (a) the normal force exerted by the road o
iVinArrow [24]
There are missing data in the text of the problem (found them on internet):
- speed of the car at the top of the hill: v=15 m/s
- radius of the hill: r=100 m

Solution:

(a) The car is moving by circular motion. There are two forces acting on the car: the weight of the car W=mg (downwards) and the normal force N exerted by the road (upwards). The resultant of these two forces is equal to the centripetal force, m \frac{v^2}{r}, so we can write:
mg-N=m \frac{v^2}{r} (1)
By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find N:
N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(975 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(975 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=7371 N

(b) The problem is exactly identical to step (a), but this time we have to use the mass of the driver instead of the mass of the car. Therefore, we find:
N=mg-m \frac{v^2}{r}=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)-(62 kg) \frac{(15 m/s)^2}{100 m}=469 N

(c) To find the car speed at which the normal force is zero, we can just require N=0 in eq.(1). and the equation becomes:
mg=m \frac{v^2}{r}
from which we find
v= \sqrt{gr}= \sqrt{(9.81 m/s^2)(100 m)}=31.3 m/s
