Answer:

Crust sitting on top of molten rock of the mantle

Explanation:

Earth's crust is the geological name for what we usually call the <em>surface</em> of the planet, and it is immediately above the molten rock of the mantle, the next layer of the planet.

The crust happens to be fragmented in large pieces or tectonic plates, that can be seen as "drifting" on the mantle's molten rock, also known as magma.

In some areas tectonic plates are drifting away, allowing magma to reach the surface (volcanoes for example), or the seabed (forming mid-oceans crests).

In other areas tectonic plates are crashing each other, causing earthquakes, tidal waves, mountain formation and other relevant geological events.

Which type of energy is associated with electric currents?
zalisa [80]
B. Electrical energy

 Among the choices given, the type of energy associated with electric currents is electrical energy. By its definition, electric current is the flow of charged particles through a conductor or a conduction medium, for example, a wire. Basically, it involves electricity. It is similar to water current but instead of water molecules, charged particles move down a conductor. These charged particles are mostly electrons which move freely and at random. When all the free electrons move in the same direction, a current is created.

A 0.60-kilogram softball initially at rest is hit with a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 0.20 second and leaves the
Furkat [3]

Answer:

75 Newtons.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion,

F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1

Where F = force exerted by the ball on the bat, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time

Given: m = 0.6 kilogram, u = 0 meter per seconds (at rest), v = 25 meters per seconds, t = 0.2 seconds.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.6(25-0)/0.2

F = 3(25)

F = 75 Newton.

Hence the magnitude of the average force exerted by the ball on the bat = 75 Newtons.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

864 KN

Explanation:

(Absolute pressure) = (Atmospheric pressure) + (Gauge Pressure)

Atmospheric pressure = 95 KPa = 95000 Pa

Gauge Pressure = ρgh

ρ = density of the fluid = 1000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = depth below the fluid level that the object is at = 5 m

Gauge Pressure = 1000 × 9.8 × 5 = 49000 Pa

Absolute pressure = 95000 + 49000 = 144000 Pa.

Pressure = (Hydrostatic force)/(Area perpendicular to the force)

Hydrostatic force = (Pressure) × (Area perpendicular to the force)

Area perpendicular to the force = 2 × 3 = 6 m²

Hydrostatic force on the top of the plate = 144000 × 6 = 864000 N = 864 KN

Hope this Helps!!!
