According to the Theory of Plate Tectonics, which of the following statements is correct?

Physics
1 answer:
kramer3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It's D. The geothermal energy from Earth's core loses most of its heat before reaching the outer layer. The plates on the outer layer have been proven to be moving due to evidence such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon
dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m

Mass of the sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

T^2\propto a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3

T=3.74\times 10^8\ s

(b) We know that,

1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s

or

1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year

3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

A) Show that the surface temperature of a star can be inferred from measurements of blackbodyfluxes at two different frequencies
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answers to the questions have been solved in the attachment.

Explanation:

The answers to part a to e are all contained in the attachment. For answer part b, temperature and frequency were assumed to be fixed or constant. V² is directly proportional to T telling us that variation in T gives us a square in the frequency variation. This tells us why it is difficult when both frequencies are on this side of the black body.

A(n) 0.5 kg soccer ball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 10.6 m/s. The player illegally strikes the ball with he
Llana [10]

Answer: - 25.2 kgm/s

Explanation: The mass of the ball is 0.5kg, and the initial velocity = 10.6m/s.

The final velocity is in opposite direction of the initial hence final velocity (v) = - 19.9 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.

Final momentum = mass × final velocity

Final momentum = - 19.9 × 0.5

Final momentum = - 9.95 kgm/s

Initial momentum = mass × initial velocity

Initial momentum = 0.5 × 10.6 = 5.3kgm/s

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = - 19.9 - 5.3

Change in momentum = - 25.2 kgm/s

The negative sign implies that the change in momentum is the opposite direction relative to the first.

Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a hori
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sam mass=75kg

Height is 50m

20° frictionless slope

Horizontal force on Sam is 200N

According to the work energy theorem, the net work done on Sam will be equal to his change in kinetic energy.

Therefore

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

Note initial the body was at rest at top of the slope.

Then, ∆K.E is K.E(final) - K.E(initial)

K.E Is given as ½mv²

Since initial velocity is zero then, K.E(initial ) is zero

Therefore, ∆K.E=½mVf²

Wg is work done by gravity and it is given by using P.E formulas

Wg=mgh

Wg=75×9.8×50

Wg=36750J

Ww is work done by wind and it's is given by using formulae for work

Work=force × distance

Ww=horizontal force × horizontal distance

Using Trig.

TanX=opposite/adjacent

Tan20=h/x

x=h/tan20

x=50/tan20

x=137.37m

Then,

Ww=F×x

Ww=200×137.37

We=27474J

Now applying the formula

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

36750 - 27474 =½×75×Vf²

9276=37.5Vf²

Vf²=9275/37.5

Vf²= 247.36

Vf=√247.36

Vf=15.73m/s

water wood neon gas arrange the substances in the table from the most to the least ordered particle arrangement. a) wood, water,
mojhsa [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The correct arrangement of the substances according to the <span>most to the least ordered particle arrangement should be wood, water and neon gas. Wood should be the first since it is solid which has the most ordered structure as compared to the liquid and a gas. The neon gas is the last since as a gas it has the least ordered structure.</span>
