The layers that make up the upper mantle are the following.

The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
The lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
The rocky outer part of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
It is very rigid, solid, and it is not as hot as the other parts.
According to scientists, its thickness is about 90 to 100 kilometers from the surface of the earth.
The layer of the Earth that moves the lithospheric plates is called the asthenosphere.
Lithospheric plates are 60 miles long on average and are composed of continental crust.

We conclude that the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle. The new lithosphere is being created at oceanic ridges due to plate tectonics. Yes, planet Earth is getting larger constantly.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

The equation T^2=A^3 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

D. 2^(3/2)

Explanation:

Given that

T² = A³

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet Y be x

Therefore,

T(Y)² = x³

T(Y) = x^(3/2)

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet X be x/2

Therefore,

T(Y)² = (x/2)³

T(Y) = (x/2)^(3/2)

The factor of increase from planet X to planet Y is:

T(Y) / T(X) = x^(3/2) / (x/2)^(3/2)

T(Y) / T(X) = (2)^(3/2)

At a particular instant, a proton at the origin has velocity < 5e4, -2e4, 0> m/s. You need to calculate the magnetic field

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$9.7\times 10^{-5} T$

Explanation:

Velocity = $5\times 10^4i-2\times 10^4j$

r= $0.03i+0.05j$

r= $\mid r\mid=\sqrt{(0.03)^2+(0.05)^2}=0.058$

v= $\mid V\mid=\sqrt{(5\times 10^4)^2+(-2\times 10^{4})^2}=5.39\times 10^{2}$

We know that

$B=\frac{mv}{qr}$

Where q= $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27} kg$

Using the formula

$B=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 5.39\times 10^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.058}$

$B=9.7\times 10^{-5} T$

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.
