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 :)

Spacetime interval: What is the interval between two events if in some given inertial reference frame the events are separated b
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

  • a. \Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2
  • b. \Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2
  • c. \Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

Explanation:

The spacetime interval \Delta s^2 is given by

\Delta s ^2 = \Delta (c t) ^ 2 - \Delta \vec{x}^2

please, be aware this is the definition for the signature ( + - - - ), for the signature (- + + + ) the spacetime interval is given by:

\Delta s ^2 = - \Delta (c t) ^ 2 + \Delta \vec{x}^2.

Lets work with the signature ( + - - - ), and, if needed in the other signature, we can multiply our interval by -1.

<h3>a.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (7.5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 5,625 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 3 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (899,377,374 \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2 - 5,625 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2

<h3>b.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 0.58 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (173,879,625.6 \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2 - 2,500 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2

<h3>c.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 58 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (1.73879 \ 10^{10} \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2 - 2,500 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

A 60cm long string of an ordinary guitar is tuned to produce the note a4 (frequency 440hz) when vibrating in its fundamental mod
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem, we have

f=440 Hz is the frequency

v = 344 m/s is the speed of sound in air

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{344 m/s}{440 Hz}=0.78 m

A 50 kg runner runs up a flight of stairs. The runner starts out covering 3 steps every second. At the end the runner stops. Thi
nadezda [96]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts of kinematic equations of motion and the work done by a body.

In the case of work, we know that it is defined by,

W = F * d

Where,

F= Force

d = Distance

The distance in this case is a composition between number of steps and the height. Then,

d=h*N, for h as the height of each step and N number of steps.

On the other hand we have the speed changes, depending on the displacement and acceleration (omitting time)

V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X

Where,

V_f = Final velocity

V_i = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

\Delta X = Displacement

PART A) For the particular case of work we know then that,

W = F*d

W = m*g*(h*N)

W = 50*9.8*(0.3*30)

W = 4.41kJ

Therefore the Work to do that activity is 4.41kJ

PART B) To find the acceleration (from which we can later find the time) we start from the previously given equation,

V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X

Here,

V_i = \frac{0.3*3}{1} = 0.90m/s\rightarrow3 steps in one second

v_f = 0

Replacing,

V_f^2-V_i^2 = 2a\Delta X

0-0.9^2=2a(30*0.3)

Re-arrange for a,

a = -\frac{0.9^2}{2*30*0.3}

a = -45*10^{-3}m/s^2

At this point we can calculate the time, which is,

t = \frac{\Delta V}{a}

t = \frac{0-0.9}{-45*10^{-3}}

t = 20s

With time and work we can finally calculate the power

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{4.41}{20}

P = 0.2205kW

Can you please tell me what this is
Anna [14]

Answer:

200000 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

KE => is the kinetic energy.

m =>is the mass of the object

V => it the velocity of the object.

With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²

KE = 500 × 400

KE = 200000 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.
