The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)

Define scalar and vector

Andreas93 [3]

The quantity is either a vector or a scalar. These two categories can be distinguished from one another by their distinct definitions: Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone. Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

During a tornado in 2008 the Peachtree Plaza Westin Hotel in downtown Atlanta suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Time = t = 6.62 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 215 m

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = 0 m/s

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time = t = ?

According to second equation of motion

$h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero.

$h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

t² = $\frac{2h}{g}$

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

t = $\sqrt{\frac{(2)(215) }{9.8} }$

t = 6.62 s

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

a stone is projected vertically up from the top of a tower 73.5m with velocity 24.5 m/s . find the time taken by the stone to re

hoa [83]

The stone's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity. The stone reaches the ground when $y=0$ :

$0=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=7.11\,\rm s$
