C) The mantle's particles will become more dense and rise as a result of the core heat, causing the lithosphere's plates to move in the opposite direction of the convection current.
How does the mantle's density change as it heats up?Convection Currents The lithosphere becomes denser than the surrounding magma and sinks back toward the core as the heated mantle transfers heat energy to it.
How does heat travel from the core to the crust in the mantle?Conduction from the core directly heats the lower mantle. As atoms collide, heat is transferred in conduction. Convection is the movement of warm and cool materials upward and downward. Material that is hot rises to the surface through conduction.
When the mantle rises, what takes place?“hot spots," which are non-plate tectonic volcanic regions, are probably caused by mantle plumes. A diapir is formed when a mantle plume reaches the upper mantle. Volcanic eruptions are sparked by the heat generated by this molten material in the asthenosphere and lithosphere.

Batman shoots a grappling hook
34.6 m/s at an 80.2° angle. What is the magnitude only (no direction) of the velocity of the hook 1.09 s later?
(Unit = m/s)
Answer:
24.132 m/s
Explanation:
Note
[tex]U[/tex] = Initial Velocity
[tex]U_x[/tex] = Initial Horizontal Velocity
[tex]U_y[/tex] = Initial Vertical Velocity
[tex]V[/tex] = Final Velocity
[tex]V_x[/tex] = Final Horizontal Velocity
[tex]V_y[/tex] = Final Vertical Velocity
[tex]B[/tex] = launch angle
[tex]g[/tex] = gravity
[tex]t[/tex] = time
[tex]U_x=U*cos(B)[/tex]
[tex]U_y=U*sin(B)[/tex]
The horizontal component of the velocity is constant throughout the flight. So [tex]U_x=V_x[/tex] It can be defined as
[tex]V_x=U*cos(B)[/tex]
We can use the kinematics equation
[tex]V=U+at[/tex]
Gravity is acting downwards; gravity would be negative
[tex]V_y=U_y-gt[/tex]
The magnitude of the velocity can be defined as
[tex]V=\sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2}[/tex]
Inserting some of the other equations gives us an equation at a given time (t).
[tex]V=\sqrt{(U*cos(B))^2+(U*sin(B)-gt)^2}[/tex]
[tex]V=\sqrt{(UcosB)^2+(UsinB)^2+(gt)^2-2gtU*sinB[/tex]
[tex]V=\sqrt{U^2+g^2*t^2-2*t*g*U*sinB}[/tex]
[tex]V(t)=\sqrt{U^2+g^2t^2-2tgUsinB}[/tex]
We are given
[tex]U=34.6[/tex]
[tex]B=80.2[/tex]
[tex]t=1.09[/tex]
[tex]g=9.81[/tex]
[tex]V(1.09)=\sqrt{34.6^2+9.81^2*1.09^2-2*1.09*9.81*34.6*sin80.2}[/tex]
[tex]V(1.09)=\sqrt{34.6^2+114.338-2*1.09*9.81*34.6*sin80.2}[/tex]
[tex]V(1.09)=\sqrt{34.6^2+114.338-739.94868*sin80.2}[/tex]
[tex]V(1.09)=\sqrt{34.6^2+114.338-729.151}[/tex]
[tex]V(1.09)=\sqrt{1197.16+114.338-729.151}[/tex]

A group of students wants to determine the internal resistance of a battery. They connect the battery to a variable resistor. The students measure the potenial differnce across the battery as a function of the current throught the battery as they vary the resistance. Which of the following analyses of the data could be used to determine the internal resistance of the battery?
A. Divide the potential difference across the battery by the current through it for each data point. The average of these calculations gives the internal resistance of the battery.
B. Graph the potential difference across the battery as a function of the current through it. Extrapolate to find the y- intercept and divide this by the average of the current measurements to find the internal resistance of the battery.
C. Find the best-fit straight line for a graph of potential difference across the battery as a function of the current through it. The absolute value of the slope represents the internal resistance of the battery.
D. This data cannot be analyzed to give the internal resistance of the battery, because the potential difference across the battery does not depend on the current.
Answer:
The answer is "Option C"
Explanation:
Ohm's Rule we remember [tex]V = I\times R[/tex]
It looks like the sample is drawn y=mx while m is curve slope
The slope of the graph is its resistance if they draw a graph v vs I.
However, the internal battery presence resistance can be modified as the straight line equation
[tex]y = mx -c[/tex]
where c is y-intercept:
[tex]E = I(R+r) \\\\ E = IR+ Ir\\\\E = V + Ir\\\\V = E- Ir\\\\V = -Ir+E[/tex]
R is really the internal battery resistance to draw graph V vs I, the slope is internal resistance to the negative slope cure.

Answer:
x₁ = 0.62 m
Explanation:
In this exercise the force is electric, given by Coulomb's law
F =[tex]k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]
This force is a vector, since the three charges are in a line we can reduce the vector sum to a scalar sum.
For the sense of force let us use that charges of the same sign repel and charges of the opposite sign attract.
∑ F = F₁₂ - F₂₃
They ask us to find the point where the summaries of the force is zero.
F₁₂ - F₂₃ = 0
F₁₂ = F₂₃
let's fix a reference system located in the first charge (more to the left), the distance between the two charges is d = 1.5 m and x is the distance to the location of the second sphere
k q₁q₂ / x² = k q₂q₃ / (d-x) ²
q₁ (d-x) ² = q₃ x²
let's solve
d² - 2 x d + x² = [tex]\frac{q_3}{q_1}[/tex] x²
x² (1 - [tex]\frac{q_3}{q_1}[/tex]) - 2x d + d² = 0
we substitute the values
x² (1- 4/2) - 2 1.5 x + 1.5² = 0
x² (-1) - 3.0 x + 2.25 = 0
x² + 3 x - 2.25 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
x = [-3 ± [tex]\sqrt{ 3^2 + 4 \ 2.25}[/tex]] / 2
x = [-3 ± 4.24] / 2
x₁ = 0.62 m
x₂ = 3.62 m
since it indicates that the charge q₂ e places between the spheres, the correct solution is
x₁ = 0.62 m
Most stars are main-sequence stars, a group of stars for which size, mass, surface temperature, and radiated power are closely related. The sun, for instance, is a yellow main sequence star with a surface temperature of 5800 K. For a main-sequence star whose mass M is more than twice that of the sun, the total radiated power, relative to the sun, is approximately P/Psun = 1.5(M/Msun)3.5. The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8Msun and radius 3.1Rsun. What is the surface temperature of Regulus A?
Answer:
the surface temperature of Regulus A is 11724.13 K
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Sun's surface temperature T = 5800 K
total radiated power, relative to the sun is; P/P[tex]_{sun[/tex] = [tex]([/tex] 1.5(M/M[tex]_{sun[/tex] [tex])^{3.5[/tex]
The star Regulus A is a bluish main-sequence star with mass 3.8M[tex]_{sun[/tex] and radius 3.1R[tex]_{sun[/tex] .
First, we determine the value power emitted by the sun or sun as follows;
P = eσAT⁴
where P is the power, e is surface emissivity, σ is Stefan Boltzmann, A is area and T is temperature.
so, lets assume emissivity of star and sun is same;
let p be power related to star and p[tex]_{sun[/tex] be power related sun.
Ratio of power radiated by star and power radiated by sun;
P/P[tex]_{sun[/tex] = eσAT⁴ / eσA[tex]_{sun[/tex]T[tex]_{sun[/tex]⁴
we know that AREA A = πR²
we input the formula for area
P/P[tex]_{sun[/tex] = eσ(πR²)T⁴ / eσ(π(R[tex]_{sun[/tex])²)T[tex]_{sun[/tex]⁴
such that we now have;
P/P[tex]_{sun[/tex] = R²T⁴ / R[tex]_{sun[/tex]²T[tex]_{sun[/tex]⁴
given that P/P[tex]_{sun[/tex] = [tex]([/tex] 1.5(M/M[tex]_{sun[/tex] [tex])^{3.5[/tex], we substitute
[tex]([/tex] 1.5(M/M[tex]_{sun[/tex] [tex])^{3.5[/tex] = R²T⁴ / R[tex]_{sun[/tex]²T[tex]_{sun[/tex]⁴
we find temperature of the star T
T = 5800 × [tex][[/tex] 1.5[tex]([/tex]M/M[tex]_{sun[/tex][tex])^{3.5[/tex] (R[tex]_{sun[/tex]²/R²)[tex]]^{1/4[/tex]
Given that; mass M is 3.8M[tex]_{sun[/tex] and radius R is 3.1R[tex]_{sun[/tex] .
we substitute
T = 5800 × [tex][[/tex] 1.5[tex]([/tex]3.8M[tex]_{sun[/tex]/M[tex]_{sun[/tex][tex])^{3.5[/tex] (R[tex]_{sun[/tex]²/( 3.1R[tex]_{sun[/tex] )²)[tex]]^{1/4[/tex]
T = 5800 × [tex][[/tex] 1.5[tex]([/tex]3.8[tex])^{3.5[/tex] ( 1/( 3.1)²)[tex]]^{1/4[/tex]
T = 5800 × [tex][[/tex] 1.5( 106.9652 ) ( 1/(9.61) [tex]]^{1/4[/tex]
T = 5800 × [tex][[/tex] 16.69592 [tex]]^{1/4[/tex]
T = 5800 × 2.02140152
T = 11724.13 K
Therefore, the surface temperature of Regulus A is 11724.13 K

Mass [tex]m=0.144kg[/tex]
Initial Speed [tex]v_1=14.9m/s[/tex]
Final speed [tex]v_2=10.5[/tex]
a)The direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball Is opposite the direction of the balls motion
b)
Generally the equation for impluse magnitude is mathematically given by
[tex]I=m(v_1-v_2)[/tex]

Scientists use relative and absolute dating to determine age of rocks.
Scientists can organize the rocks layers based on their age on the geologic time scale.
The type of rocks and the fossils in the rock layers tell scientists about Earth’s history.
By contrasting a fossil with related rocks and fossils of known ages, relative dating can estimate the fossil's age.
By utilising radiometric dating to track the isotope decay inside the fossil or, more frequently, the rocks it is linked with, absolute dating may pinpoint an object's exact age.
What are the benefits of using relative and absolute dating of rocks?It is possible to identify whether one artefact, fossil, or stratigraphic layer is older than another using relative dating, which does not provide particular dates.
Absolute dating techniques offer more precise dates and times of origin, such as a range in age in years.

1. As air in Earth's atmosphere is heated by
the Sun, the warmer air expands and
becomes less dense than the cooler air. As a
result, the warmer air rises and the cooler
air sinks. What is the cycle of warm air
rising and cool air sinking called?
tidal current
surface current
deep current
convection current
The correct answer is D) convection current.
Convection currents are the cycle of warm air rising and cool air sinking that occurs in Earth's atmosphere (as well as in other fluids) as a result of temperature differences. When a fluid (such as air) is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. When the warmer fluid cools, it contracts and becomes denser, causing it to sink. This cycle of rising and sinking creates a circular flow known as a convection current.

The same resultant force acts on objects 1 and 2. Object 1 accelerates at 2m/s² and Object 2 accelerates at 5m/s². Which object has the greater mass?
Answer:
Object 1
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma, therefore m = F/a
This shows that mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. Because the resultant force (F) is held constant in this problem, the lower the acceleration, the greater the mass. Therefore, the object that accelerates at 2 m/s² has the greater mass. In other words, if the net force on both objects is the same, the object with the slower acceleration has the greater mass.

A stronger force can cause a greater change in an object's velocity. The correct option is yes
What caused the pod to change direction?The force exerted by the thrusters caused the pod to change direction. The thrusters on the ACM pod exerted the same strength force as thrusters on other pods on other missions. If the same strength force is exerted on two objects but the objects have different masses the object with less mass will have a greater change in velocity.
Therefore pod would have had to have a lighter mass meaning a smaller amount of force would have had to be exerted onto the pod making it move in the opposite direction.

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 15,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in N, due to the presence of the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 1020 kg and the mass of Sally is 68 kg. For calculation purposes, assume the two objects to be point masses.
The gravitational force that is acting on the masses is 1.73 * 10^-2 N.
What is the force?We know that the force of gravity is that kind of force that is going to act on any two of the objects that we have on the earth. This force as we know it is attractive force. The implication of this is that any two masses that we find on the earth are the forces that would have to be attracted to each other.
Let us note that we would have the masses that we have of the asteroid and that of sally as m1 and m2 while we have the force as;
F = G m1m2/r^2
G = gravitational constant
F = magnitude of the force
m1 and m2 = masses
r = distance of separation.
We then have;
