What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?

Physics

The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

A 20 liter cylinder of helium at a pressure of 150 atm and a temperature of 27ÁC is used to fill a balloon at 1.00 atm and 37ÁC.
djyliett [7]

<u>Answer</u>

D) 3100 Liters


<u>Explanation</u>

To get the volume if the balloon you need to use the combined equation of the low of gases.

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

(20×150)/(27+273) = (1×V₂)/(37+273)

3000/300 = V₂/310

10 = V₂/310

V₂ = 10 × 310

    = 3100 Liters

A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along
storchak [24]

Answer:

v = \frac{kQ}{a}  

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

     Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

dv = \frac{kdq}{r}

          where k is the coulomb's constant

                     r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}  

v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq

v = \frac{kQ}{a}     Potential at the center of the semicircle

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]

What is the frequency of this wave?
Anastasy [175]
In telecommunication systems, Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: ... The frequency of the unmodulated electromagnetic wave at the output of a conventional amplitude-modulated (AM-unsupressed carrier), or frequency-modulated (FM), or phase-modulated (PM) radio transmitter.
