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 :)

1) See three Kepler laws below

2a) Acceleration is 2.2 m/s^2

2b) Tension in the string: 27.4 N

3a) Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, potential energy is the energy due to the position

3b) The kinetic energy of the object is 2.25 J

Explanation:

1)

There are three Kepler's law of planetary motion:

  1. 1st law: the planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one of the 2 focii
  2. 2nd law: a segment connecting the Sun with each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. A direct consequence of this is that, when a planet is further from the sun, it travels slower, and when it is closer to the sun, it travels faster
  3. 3rd law: the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Mathematically, T^2 \propto r^3, where T is the period of revolution and r is the semi-major axis of the orbit

2a)

To solve the problem, we have to write the equation of motions for each block along the direction parallel to the incline.

For the block on the right, we have:

M g sin \theta - T = Ma (1)

where

Mg sin \theta is the component of the weight of the block parallel to the incline, with

M = 8.0 kg (mass of the block)

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

\theta=35^{\circ}

T = tension in the string

a = acceleration of the block

For the block on the left, we have similarly

T-mg sin \theta = ma (2)

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of the block)

\theta=35^{\circ}

From (2) we get

T=mg sin \theta + ma

Substituting into (1),

M g sin \theta - mg sin \theta - ma = Ma

Solving for a,

a=\frac{M-m}{M+m}g sin \theta=\frac{8.0-3.5}{8.0+3.5}(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ})=2.2 m/s^2

2b)

The tension in the string can be calculated using the equation

T=mg sin \theta + ma

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of lighter block)

g=9.8 m/s^2

\theta=35^{\circ}

a=2.2 m/s^2 (acceleration found in part 2)

Substituting,

T=(3.5)(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ}) +(3.5)(2.2)=27.4 N

3a)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion. It is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field. For an object near the Earth's surface, it is given by

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

3b)

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the object in this problem,

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

v = 3 m/s

Substituting, we find its kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.5)(3)^2=2.25 J

Which of the following describes a chemical change?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

D. Burning paper

Explanation:

physical change is just changing the way it looks

chemical change is changing the properties of the object or thing

melting ice is just changing the way it looks it still has the same atoms and elements.

when you burn something it will change the properties of the atoms in the object

iragen [17]

Answer:

it have Potential energy

Explanation:

given data

Drag the pendulum to an angle 30∘

to find out

what form of energy does it have

solution

we know that pendulum start no kinetic energy when it release from any rest position then in starting it have potential energy only so that when pendulum is angle 30∘ at some height from ground so when it start it have potential energy same as in starting.

we know that the total energy is always conserve  

so it have potential energy
