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

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2
qaws [65]

Answer:

r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}

now we know that

m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J

now we have

6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}

now we have

r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m

A vertical spring withk= 245N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 19.2cm when 0.457kg hangs from it. The mass posses through the e
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

 y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm

Explanation:

The spring mass system is an oscillatory movement that is described by the equation

      y = yo cos (wt + φ)

Let's look for the terms of this equation the amplitude I

     y₀ = 19.2 cm

Angular velocity is

     w = √ (k / m)

     w = √ (245 / 0.457

     w = 23.15 rad / s

The φ phase is determined for the initial condition   t = 0 s ,  the velocity is negative v (0) = -vo

The speed of the equation is obtained by the derivative with respect to time

     v = dy / dt

     v = - y₀ w sin (wt + φ)

For t = 0

     -vo = -yo w sin φ

The angular and linear velocity are related v = w r

      v₀ = w r₀

      v₀ = v₀ sinφ

      sinφ = 1

      φ = sin⁻¹ 1

      φ = π / 4    rad

Let's build the equation

      y = 19.2 cos (23.15 t + π/ 4)

Let's use the trigonometric ratio π/ 4 = 90º

      Cos (a +90) = cos a cos90 - sin a sin sin 90 = 0 - sin a

       y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm

One cycle of the power dissipated by a resistor ( R = 800 Ω R=800 Ω) is given by P ( t ) = 60 W , 0 ≤ t < 5.0 s P(t)=60 W, 0≤
OLga [1]

Answer:

42.5W

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must go back to the calculations of a weighted average based on the time elapsed thus,

Power_{avg} = \frac{P_1(t_1)+P_2(t_2)}{t_1+t_2}

We need to calculate the average power dissipated by the 800\Omega resistor.

Our values are given by:

P(t)=60 W, 0\leq t

P(t)=25 W, 5.0\leq t

Aplying the values to the equation we have:

Power_{avg} = \frac{P_1(t_1)+P_2(t_2)}{t_1+t_2}

Power_{avg} = \frac{60(5-0)+25(10-5)}{(5-0)+(10-5)}

Power_{avg} = 42.5W
