What is the name of the theory describing how the lithosphere is broken into segments, or plates, which "float" on the asthenosphere, and associates the interactions between these plates with earthquakes and volcanic activity and the formation of mid-ocean ridges, trenches, mountains, and chains of volcanic islands?

A. Conservation of Matter
B. Big Bang Theory
C. Plate Tectonics
D. Theory of Evolution

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Plate Tectonics

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics is when the lithosphere is separated into plates. These plates move over or float over the asthenosphere. The movement of these plates cause earthquakes and can interact with the volcanic activity.

What happens when a moving object experiences no net force?

Answers

Answer:

An object with no net forces acting on it which is initially at rest will remain at rest. If it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity. Forces are "pushes" or "pulls" on the object, and forces, like velocity and acceleration are vector quantities.

coefficient of viscosity of a glycerine is 8.4 poison explain

Answers

Answer:

coefficient of viscosity of 8.4 poison denotes that the tangential frictional force acting per unit area when divided by the velocity gradient as a result of streamline flow conditions gives 8.4.

Explanation:

Viscosity is defined as the extent to which a fluid can resist flow when a force is applied to it.

Now, coefficient of viscosity is the term in which viscosity is calculated. It is basically the tangential frictional force acting per unit area which is divided by the velocity gradient as a result of streamline flow conditions.

Thus, coefficient of viscosity of 8.4 poison denotes that the tangential frictional force acting per unit area when divided by the velocity gradient as a result of streamline flow conditions gives 8.4.

In which scenario is the greatest amount of work done on a wagon?

A force of 55 N moves it 8 m.
A force of 60 N moves it 6 m.
A force of 50 N moves it 5 m.
A force of 40 N moves it 10 m.

Answers

Answer:

The first scenario!

Explanation:

W=F*d

a) 55*8= 440J

b) 60*6= 360J

c) 50*5= 250J

d) 40*10= 400J

The scenario with the greatest amount of work done on a wagon is "A force of 55 N moves it 8 m" and the Work done is 440N.m.

What is Work done?

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

W = F × d

Where F is force applied and d is distance travelled.

From the question;

A force of 55 N moves it 8 m

W = 55N×8m = 440N.m

A force of 60 N moves it 6 m.

W = 60N×6m = 360N.m

A force of 50 N moves it 5 m.

W = 50N×5m = 250N

A force of 40 N moves it 10 m.

W = 40N×10m = 400N.m

Therefore, the scenario with the greatest amount of work done on a wagon is "A force of 55 N moves it 8 m" and the Work done is 440N.m.

When you are driving on the freeway and following the car in front of you, how close is too close? Let's do an estimation.
1. Pick a car model (preferably the one you drive, but can also be any car of your dream), and find its stopping distance at highway speeds (you can usually find this type of data online).
2. Assuming that the car in front of you suddenly does a hard brake. For simplicity, assume that its braking performance is about the same as yours. Then also assume a reasonable amount of reaction time on your part (the time delay between seeing the brake lights lit up and applying your own brake). In order for you not to run into the car your are following, what's the closest distance you need to keep between the two cars?
3. Redo the same calculation if the vehicle in front of you is a typical big-rig truck. Find its braking data online.
4. There is a rule of thumb which says that you must stay one car length behind the car in front of you for every 10 mi/h of driving speed. From your calculation, does this rule make sense?

Answers

Answer:

1) v= 90km/h  d = 70 m,  2)  x₁ = v t_r,  x₁ = 6.25 m, 3) x₁=6.25 no change

4) x = 22 m

Explanation:

1) for the first part, you are asked to find the minimum safety distance with the vehicle in front

The internet is searched for the stopping distance for two typical speeds on the highway

v (km/ h)      v (m/s)      d (m)

90                  25           70

100                 27.78      84

the safe distance is this distance plus the distance traveled during the person's reaction time, which can be calculated with infirm movement

              v = x / t_r

               x₁ = v t_r

the average reaction time is t_r = 0.25s for a visual stimulus and t_r 0.17 for an auditory stimulus

therefore the safe distance is

              x_total = x₁ + d

2) The distance is the sum of the distance traveled in the reaction

              x₁ = v t_r

for v = 90 km / h

              x₁ = 25 0.25

              x₁ = 6.25 m

for v = 100 km / h

              x₁ = 27.78 0.25

              x₁ = 6.95 m

the total distance is

               x_total = x₁ + d

for v = 90 km / h

             x_total = 25 0.25 + 70

             x_total = 76.25 m

this is the distance until the cars stop and do not collide

3) the stopping distance of a truck is

   v = 90 km / h       d = 100 m

in this case we see that the braking distance is much higher,

the safe distance is given by the distance traveled during the reaction, as the truck brakes slower than the car this distance does not change

4) let's analyze the empirical rule: maintain the length of a car for each increase in speed of v = 10 m / h = 4.47 m / s

for the car case at v = 90km / h = 25 m / s

according to this rule we must this to

           x = 25 / 4.47 = 5.6 cars

each modern car is about 4 m long so the distance is

           x = 22 m

we see that this distance is much greater than the reaction  distance so it does not make much sense

Answers

Answer: Option b, the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.

Explanation:

Here we will use the conservation of the total momentum of a system.

This means that the total momentum at the beginning must be the same as the final momentum.

Where momentum is:

P = M*v

Initially, we have two cars, both with the same mass M, and only one of them has a velocity v.

Then the initial momentum is:

P = M*v + M*0 = M*v

After the collision, the two cars move together. Then the total mass that is moving is equal to the sum of the masses of the cars, this is 2*M

and we can suppose that the two cars move at a final velocity v'

Then the final momentum is:

P' = (2*M)*v'

Now we use the conservation of momentum, then:

P = P'

M*v = (2*M)*v'

Now we need to solve this for v'

(M*v)/(2*M) = v'

v/2 = v'

This means that the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.

Then the correct option is option b.

g Design an experiment you can use to determine the mass of the metal cylinder. When you explain your experiment, be sure to mention: What is the underlying model (equation) that you can use to determine the mass from your measurements

Answers

Answer:

m = [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex] x,

graph of x vs m

Explanation:

For this exercise, the simplest way to determine the mass of the cylinder is to take a spring and hang the mass, measure how much the spring has stretched and calculate the mass, using the translational equilibrium equation

              F_e -W = 0

              k x = m g

              m = [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex] x

We are assuming that you know the constant k of the spring, if it is not known you must carry out a previous step, calibrate the spring, for this a series of known masses are taken and hung by measuring the elongation (x) from the equilibrium position, with these data a graph of x vs m is made to serve as a spring calibration.

  In the latter case, the elongation measured with the cylinder is found on the graph and the corresponding ordinate is the mass

a rugby player passes the ball 5.34 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. at what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 7.7 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used

Answers

Answer:

[tex]31.035^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

x = Displacement in x direction = 5.34 m

t = Time taken to travel the displacement

y = Displacement in y direction = 0

u = Initial velocity of ball = 7.7 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

Displacement in x direction is given by

[tex]x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{5.34}{7.7 \cos\theta}[/tex]

Displacement in y direction is given by

[tex]y=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81 (\dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta})^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta-4.905\times \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin\theta \cos\theta-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\dfrac{\sin2\theta}{2}-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin2\theta-4.905\times5.34\times 2\\\Rightarrow \sin2\theta=\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}\\\Rightarrow 2\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that a tank is is half full of oil that has a density of 900 kg/m3. Find the work W required to pump the oil out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Assume r = 15 m and h = 5 m.) W = 1.59 J

Solution

Since the tank is half full, the height = 2.5m

Pressure = density × gravity × height

Pressure = 900 × 9.8 × 2.5

Pressure = 22050 Pascal

The cross sectional area of the pump will be area of a circle.

A = πr^2

A = π × 15^2

A = 706.858 m^2

Using the formula

Density = mass/volume

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 900 × 706.86 × 2.5

Mass = 1590.435

Energy = mgh

Energy = 1590.435 × 9.8 × 2.5

Energy = 38965657.8 J

Since the work done = energy

Therefore, the work done = 3.9 × 10^7 J

Due to historical difficulty in delivering supplies by plane, one of your colleagues has suggested you develop a catapult for slinging supplies to affected areas, similar to the electromagnetic lift catapults used to launch planes from aircraft carriers. This catapult is located at a fixed point 400 meters away and 50 meters below the target site. The catapult is capable of launching the payload at 67 meters per second and an initial launch angle of 50 degrees. Using your knowledge of kinematics equations, determine whether this would be sufficient to deliver the payload to the drop site.

Answers

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

We can take the initial velocity vector, which magnitude is a given (67 m/s) and project it along two directions perpendicular each other, which we choose horizontal (coincident with x-axis, positive to the right), and vertical (coincident with y-axis, positive upward).Both movements are independent each other, due to they are perpendicular.In the horizontal direction, assuming no other forces acting, once launched, the supply must keep the speed constant.Applying the definition of cosine of an angle, we can find the horizontal component of the initial velocity vector, as follows:

       [tex]v_{avgx} = v_{o}*cos 50 = 67 m/s * cos 50 = 43.1 m/s (1)[/tex]

Applying the definition of average velocity, since we know the horizontal distance to the target, we can find the time needed to travel this distance, as follows:

       [tex]t = \frac{\Delta x}{v_{avgx} } = \frac{400m}{43.1m/s} = 9.3 s (2)[/tex]

In the vertical direction, once launched, the only influence on the supply is due to gravity, that accelerates it with a downward acceleration that we call g, which magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.Since g is constant (close to the Earth's surface), we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the vertical displacement at the same time t that we found above, as follows:

       [tex]\Delta y = v_{oy} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (3)[/tex]

In this case, v₀y, is just the vertical component of the initial velocity, that we can find applying the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

       [tex]v_{oy} = v_{o}*sin 50 = 67 m/s * sin 50 = 51.3 m/s (4)[/tex]

Replacing in (3) the values of t, g, and v₀y, we can find the vertical displacement at the time t, as follows:

       [tex]\Delta y = (53.1m/s * 9.3s) - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(9.3s)^{2} = 53.5 m (5)[/tex]

Since when the payload have traveled itself 400 m, it will be at a height of 53.5 m (higher than the target) we can conclude that the payload will be delivered safely to the drop site.

D. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the north.
E. The wreckage after collision is motionless.

Answers

Answer:

The reckage after collision is motionless (E)

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

The kind of collision described in the question above is known as a perfectly inelastic collision, and in this type of collision, the maximum kinetic energy is lost because the objects moving in opposite directions have a resultant momentum that is equal, but in opposite directions hence they cancel each other out.

The calculation is as follows:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where:

m₁ = m₂ = 1000kg

v₁ = 20 m/s

v₂ = -20 m/s ( in the opposite vector direction)

∴ resultant momentum = (1000 × 20) + (1000 × -20)

= 20000 - 20000 = 0

∴ The reckage after collision is motionless

The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.
