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.

Answer:

<em>Correct choice: b 4H</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of the mechanical energy</u>

The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):

E = U + K

The GPE is calculated as:

U = mgh

And the kinetic energy is:

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

Where:

m = mass of the object

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:

U_1 = mgH

When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:

\displaystyle U_2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2

\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2    \qquad\qquad [1]

For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:

\displaystyle mgH'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2

Operating:

\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]

Dividing [2] by [1]

\displaystyle \frac{mgH'}{mgH}=\frac{4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}{\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{H'}{H}=4

Thus:

H' = 4H

Correct choice: b 4H

V125BC [204]

Answer:

M = ρ V = 9 gm/cm^ 3 * cm^3 = 27 gm

a = (V2 - V1) / t = (6 - 2) m/s / 12 s = 1/3 m/s^2     the acceleration

F = M a = 27 gm * 1/3 m/s^2 = 9 dynes      net force applied
