The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. Which is NOT true about the role of the asthenosphere in plate tectonics?

Answers

Answer 1

Complete option to the question:

A. The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

B. Convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

C. Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable.

D. The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.

Answer: The correct option is A (The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.)

Explanation:

Among the components that makes up the earth crust are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.

The LITHOSPHERE is the outer layer of the earth structure which consists of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.

The ASTHENOSPHERE is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. It is denser and weaker layer of the upper mantle which permits the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable. And the convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust. But it is not broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

What is trip?

A trip is a journey or excursion to some destination, usually for a specific purpose. It can be as short as a day trip or as long as a round-the-world adventure. A trip typically involves travel by foot, car, railroad, boat, or airplane and often involves multiple destinations. It may also involve activities such as camping, hiking, sightseeing, and other leisure activities. Travelers usually plan trips in advance to ensure they have enough time to see and do the things they want to. Trips can also be spontaneous, with travelers deciding on the fly where to go and what to do.

B. Semiconductor, insulator, conductor
C. Insulator, semiconductor, conductor
D. Semiconductor, conductor, insulator ​

Help me pls!

Answers

Answer: Conductor, semiconductor, insulator

Explanation:

Just did the quiz

The correct option is option A.

The descending order in which electrons flow easily is:

Conductor, semiconductor, insulator

Conductivity and flow of electrons:

The correct order for materials by their ability to allow the flow of electrons, from most easily to least easily is Conductor, semiconductor, insulator.

Conductors are generally metals, they have plenty of free electrons due to which the electron flow is easy. Also, the conduction band and valance band in a conductor overlap, so they can conduct at room temperature.

In the case of semiconductors, the band gap between the conduction band and valance band is almost 1eV, so a little energy is enough to make the flow of electrons possible

Whereas, in insulators, the band gap is quite high and electrons can not jump from the conduction band to the valence band due to which the flow of electrons is not possible.

Let's calculate the equivalent resistances on both circuits.

On Diagram A we have a series connection of the resistors. The equivalent resistance will be the sum of all resistances:

[tex]R_{eq}=1+1+1\\\\\boxed{R_{eq}=3\Omega}[/tex]

On diagram B we have a parallel connection of the resistors. The reciprocal of the equivalent resistance will be the sum of the reciprocals of all the resistances:

[tex]\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{1} +\frac{1}{1} +\frac{1}{1} \\\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=3\\\\\boxed{R_{eq}=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Therefore, the larger resistance occurs on diagram A.

For the current, recall

[tex]V=IR[/tex]

Where [tex]I[/tex] stands for current [tex]R[/tex] is the resistance and [tex]V[/tex] is the voltage. Rearranging the equation we have

[tex]I = \frac{V}{R}[/tex]

We can see that the larger the resistance, the smaller the current gets. So the larger current must happen in the diagram with smaller resistance. Therefore, the larger current occurs on diagram B.

The answer is "Location Y"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attachment.

As we show in the graph when the marble rolling with the full force it will stop on the y location because it is curved, and the marble can't move to another location, that's why the maximum kinetic energy of the marble is at the y location.

Rodney hits a 0.060 kg tennis ball straight up with a speed of 15 m/s from a height of 2.2 m above the ground. How fast is the ball going when it is 9.5 m above the ground?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the tennis ball is  [tex]m = 0.060 \ kg[/tex]

    The speed is  [tex]u = 15 \ m/s[/tex]

    The initial height of the ball is  [tex]h_o = 2.2 \ m[/tex]

     The height considered is  [tex]h = 9.5 \ m[/tex]

Generally the time taken to reach the considered height is mathematically evaluated from the equation of motion as follows

           [tex]h = h_o + ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2[/tex]

=>         [tex]9.5 = 2.2 + 15t - \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 t^2[/tex]

=>         [tex]7.3 = 15t - 4.9t^2[/tex]

=>          [tex]4.9t^2 -15t + 7.3[/tex]

solving the above equation using quadratic formula

           [tex]t= 0.6070 \ s[/tex] and  [tex]t_1 = 2.454 \ s[/tex]

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

        [tex]v = u - gt[/tex]

=>     [tex]v= 15 - 9.8 * 0.6070[/tex]

=>      [tex]v= 9.0514 \ m/s[/tex]

Note if we had used the second values of time the velocity at 9.5 \ m would have been negative which is not correct given that at maximum height velocity is zero

A large ball of Play-Doh with a mass of 0.04kg is launched from a catapult with an initial
speed of 5m/s and an
initial height of 1.0m. What is the final speed of the ball right before it strikes the ground? Draw a picture!

Answers

Answer:

  ≈ 6.68 m/s

Explanation:

A suitable formula is ...

  vf^2 -vi^2 = 2ad

where vi and vf are the initial and final velocities, a is the acceleration, and d is the distance covered.

We note that if the initial launch direction is upward, the velocity of the ball when it comes back to its initial position is the same speed, but in the downward direction. Hence the problem is no different than if the ball were initially launched downward.

Then ...

  vf = √(2ad +vi^2) = √(2·9.8 m/s^2·1.0 m+(5 m/s)^2) = √44.6 m/s

  vf ≈ 6.68 m/s

The ball hits the ground with a speed of about 6.68 meters per second.

__

We assume the launch direction is either up or down.
