The Earth gets hotter as one travels towards the core, known as the geothermal gradient. The geothermal gradient is the amount that the Earth's temperature increases with depth. ... On average, the temperature increases by about 25°C for every kilometer of depth.

Please can some one explaine fore me What is work done

olga nikolaevna [1]

In Physics, 'work' has a very clear definition:

It's (strength of a force) times (distance through which the force acts).

'Work' has the units of Energy.

If you push against a shopping cart with 30 newtons of force, and
you keep pushing while the cart moves 4 meters, then you have
done (30 x 4) = 120 newton-meters of work = 120 "Joules".

The distance, x, covered by a particle in time, t, is given as x=a +bc+ct^2 +dt^3

Sav [38]

Answer:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

Explanation:

Since the expression for the distance is:

$x = a+b\,t+c\,t^2+d\,t^3$

then:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance. So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.

The source of a sound moves away from the listener. The listener has the impression that the source is __________.

prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

As the source of sound waves approaches you the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound. The opposite happens when the source of sound waves moves away from you

Suppose that you make a series RC circuit with a capacitor and a known resistor that has a 5% tolerance: R= 5.20 ± 0.26kΩ. You p

Masja [62]

Answer:

correct answer is C

Explanation:

The time constant of an RC circuit is

τ = RC

so to find the capacitance

C = τ/ R

C = 2.150 / 5.20 10³

C = 4.13 10⁻⁴ F

to find the error we use the worst case

ΔC = | $|\frac{dC}{d \tau }| \ \Delta \tau + | \frac{dC}{dR} | \ \Delta R$

the absolute value guarantees that we find the worst case, we evaluate the derivatives

ΔC = 1 /R Δτ + τ/R² ΔR

the absolute values of the errors are

Δτ = 0.002 s

ΔR = 0.3 kΩ

we substitute

ΔC = 0.002 /5.20 10³ + 2.150/(5.20 10³)² 0.3 10³

ΔC = 3.8 10⁻⁷ + 1.74 10⁻⁵

ΔC = 1.77 10⁻⁵ F

the uncertainty or error must be expressed with a significant figure

ΔC = 2 10⁻⁵ F

the percentage error is

Er% = $\frac{\Delta C}{C} \ 100$

Er% = $\frac{2 \ 10^{-5} }{ 4.13 \ 10^{-4} } \ 100$

Er% = 4.8%

the correct answer is C
