Complete option to the question:

A. The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

B. Convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

C. Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable.

D. The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.

Answer: The correct option is A (The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.)

Explanation:

Among the components that makes up the earth crust are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.

The LITHOSPHERE is the outer layer of the earth structure which consists of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.

The ASTHENOSPHERE is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. It is denser and weaker layer of the upper mantle which permits the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable. And the convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust. But it is not broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

When antimatter interacts with an equal mass of ordinary matter, both matter and antimatter are converted completely into energy
Ilya [14]

Answer:

  v = 5.88 10⁷ m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relation

          E = m c²

also indicate that all energy is converted into kinetic energy

          E = K = ½ (M-2m) v²

where m is the mass of antimatter and M is the mass of the ship's mass. Factor two is due to the fact that equal amounts of matter and antimatter must be combined

we substitute  

         m c² = ½ (M-2m) v²

        v² = 2 \frac{m}{M+2m} \ c^2

         

let's calculate

        v = \sqrt{2 \  \frac{4 \ 10^4 }{2 \ 10^6 + 2 \ 4 \ 10^4} \ (3 \ 10^8)^2}

         v = \sqrt{ 34.615 \ 10^{14}}

        v = 5.88 10⁷ m / s

Astronomers observe two separate solar systems each consisting of a planet orbiting a sun. The two orbits are circular and have
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(D) 3

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}

Thus, the magnitude of the angular momenta of both solar systems are given by:

L_1=Rm_1v_1=Rm_1(\omega R)=R^2m_1(\frac{2\pi}{T_1})=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{T_1}\\\\L_2=Rm_2v_2=2\pi R^2\frac{m_2}{T_2}

where we have taken that both systems has the same radius.

By taking into account that T1=3T2, we have

L_1=2\pi R^2\frac{m_1}{3T_2}=\frac{1}{3}2\pi R^2\frac{1}{T_2}m_1=\frac{1}{3}\frac{L_2}{m_2}m_1

but L1=L2=L:

L=\frac{1}{3}L\frac{m_1}{m_2}\\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=3

Hence, the answer is (D) 3

In designing structures in an earthquake-prone region, how should the natural frequencies of oscillation of a structure relate t
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Natural frequencies of oscillation and typical earthquake frequencies should be different.

Damping on the structure should be large.

Explanation:

The natural frequency of the structure must be different from the typical earthquake frequency, the more different the better. This is because if both frequencies were the same or similar there is a risk that the building will <u>resonate </u>and collapse.

As for the damping, it must have a high value. This so that the building resists earthquakes better and prevents it from moving dangerously, thus damping on the structure should be large.

A cart of mass M = 2.40 kg can roll without friction on a level track. A light string draped over a light, frictionless pulley c
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Part a)

a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}

Part b)

a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}

Part c)

a = \frac{mg}{M + m}

Part d)

a = 1.35 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

For hanger we know that it will have tension force upwards while it has downwards its weight so we will have

mg - T = ma

so we have

a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}

Part b)

now for car that is rolling on the floor the net force is given as

F = Ma

T = Ma

a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}

Part c)

now we know that the cart and the hanger both are connected to each other

so they must have same acceleration

so we will have

T = Ma

mg - Ma = ma

a = \frac{mg}{M + m}

Part d)

now we know that

M = 2.40 kg

m = 0.50 kg

so we will have

a = \frac{0.50(9.81)}{2.40 + 0.50}

a = 1.35 m/s^2
