Describe the formation of the land, the atmosphere, and the oceans of earth

1 answer:

7 0

Land: Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills. Erosion by water and wind can wear down land and create landforms like valleys and canyons. ... Landforms can exist under water in the form of mountain ranges and basins under the sea.

Atmosphere: (4.6 billion years ago)
As Earth cooled, an atmosphere formed mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today's atmosphere. After about half a billion years, Earth's surface cooled and solidified enough for water to collect on it.

Ocean: After the Earth's surface had cooled to a temperature below the boiling point of water, rain began to fall—and continued to fall for centuries. As the water drained into the great hollows in the Earth's surface, the primeval ocean came into existence. The forces of gravity prevented the water from leaving the planet.

Find the velociity of a car which travels 35 m to the right over a period of 40 seconds

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

the velocity of the car is 0.875 m/s

Explanation:

$v = d \div t \\ v = 35m \div 40sec = 0.875 \: m \: per \: sec$

therefore the V of car is 0.875 m

f your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here ,the table of data is missing which is as attached herewith.

From the maximized equation of the utility function it is evident that

$Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}$

For the equity, here as

$Weight$ is percentage of the equity which is to be calculated
${E_M-r_f}$ is the Risk premium whose value as seen from the attached data for the period 1926-2015 is 8.30%
$A$ is the risk aversion factor which is given as 4.
$\sigma_M$ is the standard deviation of the portfolio which from the data for the period 1926-2015 is 20.59

By substituting values.

$Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}\\Weight=\frac{8.30\%}{4(20.59\%)^2}\\Weight=0.4894 =48.94\%$

So the weight of equity is 48.94%.

Now the weight of T bills is given as

$Weight_{T-Bills}=1-Weight_{equity}\\Weight_{T-Bills}=1-0.4894\\Weight_{T-Bills}=0.5105=51.05\%\\$

So the weight of T-bills is 51.05%.

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

A 5 newton force and a 7 newton force act concurrently on a point. As the angle between the forces is increased from 0 to 180 th

Reika [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}$

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function $cos \theta$ . The value of $cos \theta$ are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B$

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

$R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B$

How did scientists discover the Earth had a liquid outer core and solid inner core?

viktelen [127]

Dr. Inge discovered the make up of the earths inner core by studying how an earthquakes waves bounced off the core. And Inge Lehmann was studying the waves of a 1929 earthquake when she found them acting inconsistently with solid mantle crust
