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.

You are designing a flywheel. It is to start from rest and then rotate with a constant angular acceleration of 0.200 rev/s^2. Th

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

I = 8.75 kg m

Explanation:

This is a rotational movement exercise, let's start with kinetic energy

K = ½ I w²

They tell us that K = 330 J, let's find the angular velocity with kinematics

w² = w₀² + 2 α θ

as part of rest w₀ = 0

w = √ 2α θ

let's reduce the revolutions to the SI system

θ = 30.0 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 60π rad

let's calculate the angular velocity

w = √(2 0.200 60π)

w = 8.683 rad / s

we clear from the first equation

I = 2K / w²

let's calculate

I = 2 330 / 8,683²

I = 8.75 kg m

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north

Two blocks of ice, one four times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person pushes each block the same dista

qaws [65]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object is 4m

mass of lighter object is m

A person pushes each block with same force F

According to Work Energy theorem Change in kinetic energy of object is equal to Work done by all the object

As launching velocity is same for both the object so heavier mass must possess greater kinetic energy . For same force heavier mass must be pushed 4 times farther than the light block .

$\Delta (K.E.)_H=\frac{1}{2}(4m)v^2$

$\Delta (K.E.)_L=\frac{1}{2}(m)v^2$

$\Delta K.E.=F\times d$

So the correct option is b
