Explain mantle convection.

Physics
1 answer:
inysia [295]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle.

Interactive LearningWare 4.1 reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A 1800-kg car is traveling with a speed of
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

F= 4788 N

Explanation:

Because the car moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula:

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (1)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

v₀: initial speed in m/s    

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

d=36.9 m

v₀=14.0 m/s m/s    

vf= 0  

Calculating of the acceleration of the car

We replace dta in the formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d

(0)²=(14)²+2*a*(36.9)

-(14)²= (73.8) *a

a= - (196) /  (73.8)

a= - 2.66 m/s²

Newton's second law of the car in direction  horizontal (x):

∑Fx = m*ax Formula (2)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in direction x-axis (N)

m : mass (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Data

m=1800 Fkg

a= - 2.66 m/s²

Magnitude of the horizontal net force (F) that is required to bring the car to a halt in a distance of 36.9 m :

We replace data in the formula (2)

-F= (1800 kg) * ( -2.66 m/s² )

F= 4788 N

In a hot water heating system, room temperature is controlled by a device called a
erik [133]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Thermostat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A thermostat is a device that exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature.
  • Thermostat automatically regulates temperature, or that activates a device when the temperature reaches a certain point.

In order to induce electrical energy into a conductor or generator, what three factors must be present?
salantis [7]
The electricity produced by a generator works through the concepts of the following three factors; magnetic field, voltage and current. When a conductor with current flowing in it is placed in a magnetic field, it will cause the electrons to move in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. When working with generators, the guide for this direction is Fleming's Right Hand Rule. Since the electron move in perpendicular motion with magnetic field all the time, it would cause it to spin in a helical direction. These turns would then induce voltage and create electricity.

A 50.0-kg skater begins a spin with an angular speed of 4.0 rad/s. By changing the position of her arms, the skater decreases he
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The Skater's final angular speed =8rad/s

Explanation:

Let initial momentum of inertia be I1

Let final momentum of inertia be I2

But I2= I1/2

It is decreased by one-half

There is no external torque on the system, therefore

I1w1=I2w2

I1×4=(I1/2)×w2

Dividing through by I1 on both sides leaves you with:

4=w2/2

Cross multiply

W2=4×2=8rad/s
