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.

An aluminum wing on a passenger jet is 35 m long when its temperature is 17°C. At what temperature would the wing be 3 cm (0.03

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

53.32°C

Explanation:

Length of the aluminium wing = 35 m

Change in length of aluminium wing = 0.03 m

The linear expansion coefficient of aluminium $\alpha =23.6\times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$

We know that change in length is given by $\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T$

So $0.03=35\times 23.6\times 10^{-6}\Delta T$

$\Delta T=36.32^{\circ}C$

So final temperature $=T_I+\Delta T=17+36.32=53.3196^{\circ}C$

As the metal expands as does the road bed so neither really effevts those foing over the bridge. as it is hot the metal will expand and so will most tarmac on roads.

A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising th

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

25032.47 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of doing work, hence,

P = Work done(non conservative) / time

Work done (non conservative) is given as:

W = total K. E. + total P. E.

Total K. E. = 0.5mv²- 0.5mu²

Where v (final velocity) = 7.0m/s, u (initial velocity) = 0m/s

Total P. E. = mgh(f) - mgh(i)

Where h(f) (final height) = 7.2m, h(i) (initial height) = 0 m

=> W = 0.5mv² - mgh(f)

P = [0.5mv² - mgh(f)] / t

P = [(0.5*790*7²) - (790*9.8*7.2)] / 3

P = (19355 + 55742.4) / 3 = 75097.4/3

P = 25032.47 W
