The Earth (geosphere) comprises several major layers, differing in chemical and mineral composition, material strength, and other physical properties. Which of the layers listed below constitutes the largest proportion of Earth's volume?
a) Lithosphere
b) Crust
c) Outer core ·
d) Inner core
e) Mantle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option E:

The mantle

Explanation:

The earth's mantle is the mushy, semi-solid portion of the earth that makes up most of the earth's volume. The mantle extends for a depth of about 2800km downwards into the earth, making it the largest internal portion of the earth.  It makes up about 84 percent of the earth's structure, leaving the core and the crust with 15 percent and 1 percent respectively.

Due its nature, convection currents are set up predominantly in the mantle of the earth, which leads to movements in the upper layers of the earth (the crust).

The mantle is large enough for the lighter crust to float on its surface.

Answers

Both of the above! :)

Answer:

b) stopping the object

Explanation:

Friction always slows a moving object down. ... Friction can be a useful force because it prevents our shoes slipping on the pavement when we walk and stops car tyres skidding on the road. When you walk, friction is caused between the tread on shoes and the ground. This friction acts to grip the ground and prevent sliding

So, m has no dimension

The volume of a solid object tends to increase as its temperature increases. Which quantities determine how large the change in volume is

Answers

Answer:

I. The change in temperature of the object.

II. The initial volume of the object.

Explanation:

Generally, the volume of a solid object tends to increase as its temperature increases and this phenomenon is known as thermal expansion.

Hence, the quantities which determine how large the change in volume of a solid object is includes;

I. The change in temperature of the object.

II. The initial volume of the object.

This ultimately implies that, when a solid object is heated, the atoms of the object vibrate rapidly about their fixed points and thus, causing an increase in the volume of the object.

In conclusion, this scientific phenomenon known as thermal expansion is valid and true for all the three (3) states of matter;

Solid. Liquid. Gas.

A child is twirling a 0.0113-kg ball on a string in a horizontal circle whose radius is 0.147 m. The ball travels once around the circle in 0.388 s. (a) Determine the centripetal force acting on the ball. (b) If the speed is doubled, by what factor does the centripetal force increase

Answers

Answer:

0.435 N

The centripetal force increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Let the centripetal force be F

F =mv^2/r

m= mass of the object

v = linear velocity of the object

r = radius of the circular path

but v = 2πr/T = 2 * 3.142 * 0.147 / 0.388

v = 2.38 m/s

F = 0.0113 * (2.38)^2/0.147

F= 0.435 N

if v= 2v

Then;

F = m(2v)^2/r

F = m4v^2/r

F= 4mv^2/r

The centripetal force increases by a factor of 4

When catching a baseball, a catcher's glove moves by 11 cm along the line of motion of the ball. If the baseball exerts a force of 464 N on the glove, how much work is done by the ball

Answers

Answer:

51.04 joules

Explanation:

The movement by the gloves = 11cm

Force by the baseball = 464N

First of all we are going to convert cm to metres

11cm = 11/100 meters = 0.11m

The formula for workdone is given as:

W = f x d

W = workdone

F = force

D = distance

Workdone = 464 x 0.11

= 51.04 joules

The workdone by the ball is 51.04 joules

A hockey puck slides across the ice and eventually comes to a stop. Why did the puck stop?

Answers

Answer: the total energy of the puck, ice surface, and surrounding air decreases to zero

Explanation:

A hockey puck slides across the ice and eventually comes to a stop because of friction between surface of the puck and ice surface.

What is Friction ?

Friction is a resistance to motion of the object. for example, when a body slides on horizontal surface in positive x direction, it has friction in negative x direction and that measure of friction is a frictional force. frictional force is directly proportional to the Normal(N). i.e. [tex]F_{fri}[/tex] ∝ N

[tex]F_{fri}[/tex] = μN where μ is called as coefficient of the friction. It is a dimensionless quantity.

When a body is kept on horizontal surface, its normal will be straight upward which is reaction of mg. i.e. N=mg.

Frictional force is equal to

[tex]F_{fri}[/tex] = μmg

When hockey puck slides across the ice, friction between surface of puck and surface of ice produces resistance to the motion of the puck, due to resistance puck slow down slowly and eventually come to a stop. Motion and frictional force are opposite to each other. we can calculated the exact value of frictional force when we know the coefficient of friction between puck and ice surface.

hence due to friction, puck come to a stop

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

[tex] Momentum = Mass * Velocity [/tex]

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Padded dashboards in cars are safer in an accident than non-padded ones because an occupant hitting the dashboard of an automobile car has an increased time of impact and a decreased impact force because the force or shock experienced is high and happens rapidly over a short period of time, thus, the occupant has less time and velocity while absorbing the momentum of the car in the course of the collision.

Answers

Answer:

maximum height = 0.1225 m

Explanation:

given data

H = 2m

t = 1 sec

solution

we consider here velocity of pot at lower side is u

and final velocity is v with acceleration a

time take is t/2

so

height h = u × [tex]\frac{t}{2}[/tex]  - 0.5 × g × [tex](\frac{t}{2})^2[/tex]     .................1

here

u = [tex]\frac{2}{t} \times ( h + \frac{gt^2}{8} )[/tex]

and

v = u +a t/2      .........................2

v = u + g t/2

v = [tex]\frac{2h}{t} + \frac{gt}{4} - \frac{gt}{2}[/tex]

v = [tex]\frac{2h}{t} - \frac{gt}{4}[/tex]

so that

maximum height is  = [tex]\frac{v^2}{2g}[/tex]

maximum height = [tex]\frac{(\frac{2h}{t} - \frac{gt}{4})^2}{2g}[/tex]

put here value of h and t

maximum height =  [tex]\frac{(\frac{2(2)}{1} - \frac{g(1)}{4})^2}{2g}[/tex]

maximum height = 0.1225 m

A 5kg box is sliding down a ramp with a rough surface as seen below. The height of the ramp is 20m and the distance the box travels down the ramp (from A to B) is 15m. At point A the velocity of the box is 8 m/s. If the velocity at point B is 3m/s, what was the impulse caused by friction? If the force of friction is 5N, how long did it take the box to slide the 15 m?

Answers

Answer:

A Impulse = – 25 Ns

B. Time = 5 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) = 5 Kg

Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3 m/s

Impulse (I) =?

Time (t) =?

A. Determination of the Impulse.

Mass (M) = 5 Kg

Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3 m/s

Impulse (I) =?

I = Ft = M(v – u)

I = M(v – u)

I = 5 (3 – 8)

I = 5 × – 5

I = – 25 Ns

NOTE: the negative sign indicates that the net force is acting in the negative direction.

B. Determination of the time.

Impulse (I) = 25 Ns

Force (F) = 5 N

Time (t) =?

I = Ft

25 = 5 × t

Divide both side by 5

t = 25 / 5

t = 5 s

Thus, it will take 5 s for the box to slide through the 15 m long ramp.

B. Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the opposite direction of travel as before the collision.
C. Ball will travel at a speed greater than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.
D. Ball Y motion cannot be predicted because the impulse on it is not known.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Ball Y will travel at a speed greater than 5 m/s in the opposite direction of travel as before the collision.

The ball Y  will travel at a speed greater than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.

The given parameters;

mass of ball X = 1 kgmass of ball Y = 0.5 kgspeed of the two balls after collision, v = 5 m/sforce exerted by ball Y, = 40 Ntime, t = 1/6 s

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum. The total momentum of the balls before collision must equal total momentum after collision.

[tex]m_xv_x_1 + m_yv_y_1 = m_x v_x_2 + m_yv_y_2\\\\m_xv_x_2 - m_xv_x_1 = -(m_yv_y_2 - m_yv_y_1)\\\\\Delta P_x = - \Delta P_y[/tex]

The impulse experienced by ball Y is calculated as follows;

[tex]\Delta P_y = m_yv_y_2- m_yv_y_1 = Ft = 40 \times \frac{1}{6} = 6.67 \ kgm/s[/tex]

The final speed of ball Y is calculated as follows;

[tex]m_yv_y_2 - m_yv_y_1 = 6.67 \\\\m_yv_y_2 = 6.67 + m_yv_y_1\\\\0.5(v_y_2) = 6.67 + (0.5 \times 5)\\\\0.5(v_y_2) = 9.17\\\\v_y_2 = \frac{9.17}{0.5} \\\\v_y_2 = 18.34 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the ball Y  will travel at a speed greater than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.
