The layer of the Earth that is composed of large plates that interlock and move over time is the _______.asthenosphere
lithosphere
outer core
upper mantle

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The layer of the Earth that is composed of large plates that interlock and move over time is the LitosphereLitosphere consist of several tectonic plates. The top part of the litosphere is Chemically reacts with the atmosphere in a soil forming process. IT's located between 0 - 6,500 Kilometers on the bottom of the surface
Answer 2
Answer:

In the video this question was provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The lithosphere is a rigid shell made up of plates. In order to understand what the plates are like, imagine taking a hard-boiled egg and cracking it all over. Do not peel it; just crack it. It is still all together on the outside of the egg, but it is broken into "plates." The plates of the lithosphere move slowly about on the plastic, formless asthenosphere beneath."

Answer: Lithosphere

Unit Cell

Explanation:

  • A unit cell is the smallest fundamental particle of a crystal structure that represents the structure of a crystal.
  • Long-range, three-dimensional repetitiveness of this unit cell forms a crystal. A unit cell is composed of ions or atoms in a particular arrangement forming a well-defined structure.
  • Crystal have a sharp melting and boiling point and when cut using a tool, they give a sharp edge on the pieces.

Which of the following is most closely related to an activated complex?a. rate limiter
b. energy barrier
c. collision group
d. transition state

Answers

Among the choices above, the one that is most closely related to an activated complex is the transition state. The answer is letter D. This formation forms quickly and does not stay in a way compound is. It usually forms during the enzyme – substrate reaction.

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 80 kg, are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 360 N. How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

Answers

The amount of thermal energy that is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent is 19680 Joules.

Given the following data:

  • Total mass = 80 kg
  • Tension = 360 Newton
  • Height = 30 meters
  • Displacement = 120 meters

To find the amount of thermal energy that is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent:

By applying the Law of Conservation of Energy:

Work\;done = K.E + P.E + T.E

Where:

  • K.E is the kinetic energy.
  • P.E is the potential energy.
  • T.E is the thermal energy.

Since the rider and his tube are pulled at a constant speed, K.E is equal to zero (0).

Therefore, the formula now becomes:

Work\;done = 0 + P.E + T.E\n\nT.E = Work\;done-P.E

For the work done:

Work\;done = Tensional\;force * displacement\n\nWork\;done = 360 * 120

Work done = 43,200 Joules.

For P.E:

P.E = mgh\n\nP.E = 80*9.8*30

P.E = 23,520 Joules.

Now, we can find the amount of thermal energy:

T.E = Work\;done-P.E\n\nT.E =43200-23520

T.E = 19680 Joules.

Answer:

E_(th) = 19680 J

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Total mass ( rider  + his tube) = 80 kg

tension  Force = 360 N

height of slope  =  30 m

length of slope = 120 m

we know that thermal energy is given as

E_{th}  = W- Ug

W= F*d = (360N*120m)= 43200 J        

Ug= m*g*h = (80kg*9.8m/s2*30m) = 23520 J

E_(th) = 43200J - 23520 J

E_(th) = 19680 J
