Answer:

Oceanic crust is about 6 kilometers thick. It's composed of several layers, not including the overlying sediment. The topmost layer, about 500 meters thick, includes lavas made of basalt (that is, rock material consisting largely of feldspar and pyroxene).

Explanation:

The oceanic crust, which constitutes 55% of Earth's surface is largely made up of basalt, a type of volcanic rock. It forms from the cooling of lava and primarily includes elements such as silicon, oxygen, iron, aluminum, and magnesium. Conversely, the continental crust is mainly made up of a different kind of volcanic rock called granite.

The oceanic crust, which covers 55% of Earth's surface, is principally composed of a type of rock called basalt. Basaltic rocks are volcanic in nature, formed from the cooling of lava, and primary constituents include silicon, oxygen, iron, aluminum, and magnesium. The oceanic crust is mainly submerged under the oceans and averages about 6 kilometers in thickness.

On the contrary, the continental crust is predominantly made up of granite, a different variety of volcanic rocks, and it covers the remaining 45% of the Earth's surface. Both the oceanic and continental crusts exhibit a density approximately 3 g/cm³.

It's interesting to note that all volcanically produced rocks, including basalt and granite, are classified as igneous rocks, which are created when molten material solidifies. Additionally, the oceanic crust is among the youngest features on our planet due to the continuing seafloor spreading process which basically renews the oceanic crust over approximately 100 million years.

A) Peak wavelength: 1.07 mm

The peak wavelength of the Cosmic Background Radiation can be found by using Wien's displacement law:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{b}{T}[/tex]

where

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the peak wavelength

[tex]b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3}m\cdot K[/tex] is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature

For the Cosmic Background Radiation,

T = 2.7 K

So the peak wavelength is

Explanation:

Answer:

To your left

Explanation:

The direction of the force exerted on charged particle due to a magnetic field is given by the right-hand-rule, where:

- The index finger indicates the direction of motion of the electron

- the middle finger gives the direction of the magnetic field

- the thumb gives the direction of the force if the particle is positively charged - otherwise, the direction is reversed

in this case, we have an electron (so, a negatively charged particle):

- The direction of motion (index finger) is horizontal, toward you

- The electron begins to curve upward as it enters the field, so this means that the force exerted on the electrons is upward --> the thumb must point downward (because the electron is negatively charged)

- The index finger gives us the direction of the magnetic field: therefore, to your left.

The farthest major planet from the sun is Neptune

Answer:

I believe the answer is B, the paths of the planets follow an elliptical orbit around the sun.

Answer:

B. Paths of the planets follow an elliptical orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

As per Copernicus model of the universe he explained that all planets revolves around the sun in circular orbit with sun at the center of the of the path.

Now as per his theory Radius of orbit of all planets are different and the centripetal force provided by the sun for the circular path of the planets

Now as per his theory all planets must have to move with uniform speed around the sun but this was not true as we can see that the speed of all planets are different at different positions.

So here in order to correct his theory Kepler gives his law of planetary motion that all planets revolves around the sun in elliptical orbit with position of sun as one of its focus.

This path verify all the experimental results of planetary motion and hence correct answer will be

B. Paths of the planets follow an elliptical orbit around the sun.

Using the given equation you get:

E = 1.99x10^-25 / 9.0x10^-6

Divide 1.99 by 9.0: 1.99/9.0 = 0.22

For the scientific notation, when dividing subtract the two exponents:

25 -6 = 19

So you now have 0.22 x 10^-19

Now you need to change the 0.22 to be in scientific notation form:

2.2 x 10^-20

the hot chocolate in the large pot has more therma energy than the hot chocolate in the mug

Answer:

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more thermal energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

The hot chocolate in the large pot has more average kinetic energy than the hot chocolate in the mug.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is defined as the energy posses by an object because of kinetic energy of atoms present in it.

These atoms moves in a great pace or more rapidly when heat is transferred to them hence more the heat more will be the kinetic energy of the material.

In this case, hot chocolate is in large pot and thus has more temperature than the other mug.

Which explains it has more kinetic energy as well as more thermal energy.

Answer:

1.25 focal lengths

Explanation:

The lens equation states that:

[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}[/tex]

where

f is the focal length

p is the object distance

q is the image distance

In this problem, the image is 4 times as far from the lens as is the object: this means that

[tex]q=4p[/tex]

If we substitute this into the lens equation and we rearrange it, we get

[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{4p}=\frac{4+1}{4p}=\frac{5}{4p}\\p=\frac{5}{4}f=1.25 f[/tex]

so, the object distance measured in focal lengths is

Answer:

0.0129 V

Explanation:

The magnitude of the induced emf in the circuit is given by:

[tex]\epsilon = \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}[/tex]

where

[tex]\Delta \Phi[/tex] is the change in magnetic flux through the coil

[tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the time interval

To find the change in magnetic flux, we need to find the initial flux and the final flux.

The area of the coil is

[tex]A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 m)^2=0.385 m^2[/tex]

The initial magnetic field is

[tex]B_i = 0.50 T[/tex]

so the initial flux is

[tex]\Phi_i = B_i A = (0.50 T)(0.385 m^2)=0.193 Wb[/tex]

While the final flux is zero, since the coil is completely out of the magnetic field:

[tex]\Phi_f = 0[/tex]

so the magnitude of the change in flux is

[tex]\Delta \Phi = |\Phi_f - \Phi_i|=|0-0.193 Wb|=0.193 Wb[/tex]

While the time interval is

[tex]\Delta t = 15 s[/tex]

so the induced emf is

[tex]\epsilon = \frac{0.193 Wb}{15 s}=0.0129 V[/tex]

The correct answer is B)

Final answer:

To double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, the momentum must be increased by a factor of square root of 2 (B) √2.

Explanation:

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum, the answer is B) √2. Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the equation KE = ½mv², where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the molecule. Since momentum (p) is the product of mass and velocity (p = mv), we can express kinetic energy in terms of momentum as KE = p² / (2m).

Therefore, to double the kinetic energy (2KE), the equation becomes 2(½mv²) = mv², which implies that the new momentum (p') squared would be twice the original momentum squared (2p²). Taking the square root on both sides results in p' = p√2, so the momentum must be increased by a factor of the square root of 2 to double the kinetic energy of the molecule.

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule ([tex]H_{2}O[/tex]) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can  stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.  

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

If water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other, several important properties of water would be affected. These properties include the ability of water to form hydrogen bonds, its high boiling point, high surface tension, and its ability to dissolve substances. The polar nature of water molecules is essential for many of the unique properties and functions of water in biological systems and the environment.

If water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other, several important properties of water would be affected. One of these properties is the ability of water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other. These hydrogen bonds allow water to have a high boiling point, high surface tension, and the ability to dissolve many substances. Without the polar nature of water molecules, these properties would be significantly altered.

For example, if water molecules were not polar, they would not be able to form hydrogen bonds, which are responsible for water's high boiling point. This means that water would evaporate more easily and at lower temperatures, making it difficult for organisms to survive in aquatic environments. Additionally, water's ability to dissolve other substances, such as salts and nutrients, would be reduced or eliminated altogether.

a) zinc

The equation of the photoelectric effect is:

[tex]E=\phi + K[/tex] (1)

where

E is the energy of the incident light

[tex]\phi[/tex] is the work function

[tex]K[/tex] is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

Here the wavelength of the incident light is

[tex]\lambda=200 nm = 2\cdot 10^{-7} m[/tex]

so the energy of the light is

[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2\cdot 10^{-7} m}=9.95\cdot 10^{-19} J[/tex]

Converting into electronvolts,

[tex]E=\frac{9.95\cdot 10^{-19}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.22 eV[/tex] (2)

The stopping potential is the potential needed to stop the photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energy: so, the electrical potential energy corresponding to the stopping potential (V=1.93 V) must be equal to the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons,

[tex]U=q V = K[/tex]

and since the charge of the electron is

1 q = 1 e

We have

[tex]K=(1 e)(1.93 V)=1.93 eV[/tex] (3)

Combining (1), (2) and (3), we find the work function of the material:

[tex]\phi = E-K=6.22 eV-1.93 eV=4.29 eV[/tex]

So, the cathode is most likely made of zinc, which has a work function of 4.3 eV.

b) The stopping potential does not change

As we said in part A), the stopping potential is proportional to the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, K.

The intensity of light is proportional to the number of photons that hit the surface of the metal. However, the energy of these photons does not depend on the intensity, but only on the frequency of the light.

Therefore, the energy of the photons (E) does not change when the intensity of light is doubled. Also, the work function [tex]\phi[/tex] does not change: this means that the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, K, does not change, and so the stopping potential remains the same.

If the intensity of light is doubled, the stopping potential is still  1.93 V.

The term photoelectric effect refers to the fact that electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal when it is irradiated with light of the appropriate frequency.

Now;

Kinetic energy = Energy of photon - work function

Energy of the photon = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/200 * 10^-9

= 9.9 * 10^-19 J

For the stopping potential or kinetic energy;

1 ev = 1.6 * 10^-19 J

1.93 eV = 1.93eV *  1.6 * 10^-19 J/1 ev = 3.1 * 10^-19 J

Work function of the metal = 9.9 * 10^-19 J - 3.1 * 10^-19 J

= 6.8 * 10^-19 J or 4.25 eV

The metal is zinc

We know that the stopping potential is independent of the light intensity hence if the intensity of light is doubled, the stopping potential is still  1.93 V.

39.05 pounds at [tex]60.19^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the resultant force, we need to decompose each vector along the x- and y- directions. Let's do it:

Vector 1:

[tex]A_x = 25 \cdot cos 10^{\circ}=24.62[/tex]

[tex]A_y = 25 \cdot sin 10^{\circ}=4.34[/tex]

Vector 2:

[tex]B_x = 30 \cdot cos 100^{\circ}=-5.21[/tex]

[tex]B_y = 30 \cdot sin 100^{\circ}=29.54[/tex]

Resultant components:

[tex]R_x = A_x + B_x =24.62+(-5.21)=19.41[/tex]

[tex]R_y = A_y + B_y = 4.34+29.54 =33.88[/tex]

So the magnitude of the resultant is

[tex]R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(19.41)^2+(33.88)^2}=39.05[/tex]

And the direction is

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{R_y}{R_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{33.88}{19.41})=60.19^{\circ}[/tex]

The resultant force is found by summing the horizontal and vertical components of the two forces and then calculating the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector using the Pythagorean theorem and inverse tangent function respectively.

We can calculate the resultant force by breaking down each force into its horizontal and vertical components, summing these components and then calculating the magnitude and direction of the resultant force by applying principles of trigonometry and vector addition.

The first force of 25 pounds can be broken down into its horizontal and vertical components as follows: the horizontal component will be 25*cos(10°) and the vertical component will be 25*sin(10°).

Similarly, the second force of 30 pounds acts at an angle of 100°. Its components will be: the horizontal component as 30*cos(100°), and the vertical component as 30*sin(100°).

Now, the resultant force will have a horizontal component equal to the sum of the horizontal components of the two forces, and a vertical component equal to the sum of the vertical components of the two forces. Therefore, the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant force can be calculated as the sum of the respective components of the individual forces.

The magnitude of the resultant force can then be found by using the Pythagorean theorem, i.e., the square root of the sum of the squares of the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant force. The direction of the resultant force can be found using the inverse tangent function (atan or tan⁻¹) applied to the ratio of the vertical component to the horizontal component of the resultant force.

Answer: 405 J

Explanation:

i got it right on my exam

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the  wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.

Formed where mantle erupts through crust

Answer:

The Hawaiian Islands were formed where mantle erupts through crust.

Explanation:

All the Hawaiian Islands were formed by the action of volcanoes that arose from the bottom of the sea, from a source of magma (hot spot).

Hawaii's hot spot theory holds that the tectonic plate under the Pacific moves, while the hot spot stands still, creating new volcanoes. For this reason, the volcanoes of the southern half of the island of Hawaii remain active today.

The oldest islands have inactive volcanoes, but in the newest ones volcanoes still active. The island of Hawaii has five volcanoes, and one of them is one of the most active in the world, the Kīlauea.

Based on the given answer choices, answer choices A, C, and D does not describe an object either gaining speed or losing speed; however, object B states this. For this reason, answer choice B is the correct answer.

Answer

b. ac car slowing down on a sharp curve

Final answer:

Acceleration is any change in the velocity of an object, which includes speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The example of a car slowing down on a sharp curve is a clear illustration of acceleration.

Explanation:

The question: Which is an example of acceleration? involves understanding the concept of acceleration in physics. Acceleration refers to any change in the velocity of an object, which includes speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. Therefore, the correct answer is b. a car slowing down on a sharp curve. This example perfectly illustrates acceleration because the car is changing its speed (slowing down) as it moves around the curve, which is a change in velocity. The other options, such as a pickup driving a constant distance in a specific time, an airplane traveling at a constant speed, or an 18 wheeler driving west at a constant speed, do not necessarily imply a change in speed or direction, and thus, do not serve as clear examples of acceleration.

i think it’s asking for ultraviolet

Answer:

Ultraviolet Light

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford was a British physicist and chemist of New Zealand origin, who conducted a series of experiments together with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden; where the result led him to propose a new atomic model.

It should be noted that at that time, the "accepted" atomic model was Thomson's raisin pudding atomic model (electrons with negative charge immersed an the atom of positive charge that counteracted the negative charge of the electrons, like raisings embedded in a pudding), who discovered the electron and formerly was a professor of Rutherford.  

Now, the experiment conducted under the direction of Ruherford at the laboratories of the University of Manchester during the year 1911; was for the purpose of corroborating Thomson's atomic model. To achieve this, a thin metal sheet was bombarded with alpha particles (nuclei of helium gas).

The idea was that these alpha particles, having positive electric charge, were attracted by the atom's negative charges and repelled by the positive charges, and it was expected that they would pass through the thin sheet without hardly deviating. Then, to observe the crash site of the particle, a phosphorescent screen was placed behind and on the sides of the metal sheet.

For according to Thomson's atomic model the positive and negative charges were evenly distributed, the sphere (the atom) had to be electrically neutral, and the alpha particles would pass through the sheet without deviating.

However, the results were surprising:

As expected, most of the particles went through the sheet without deviating.

That is:

These facts could not be explained by Thomson's atomic model, so Rutherford developed another, suggesting that:

This new model could explain the proven fact in his experiments that some particles bounced in the direction opposite to the incident particles, because the electrical charge of this nucleus was positive, equal to the electrical charge of the alpha particles.

This is how Rutherford proposed a new atomic model and discovered the existence of the nucleus. However, this was not the definitive model, because on 1913 it was replaced by Bohr's.
