Answer:
P and S waves slow down when they reach this layer. The asthenosphere, also known as the magma chamber, is the uppermost component of the mantle. This layer is partially molten and is a ductile zone in a tectonically poor state.
It's almost hard and seismic waves move through the asthenosphere at a slow rate. The fragile lithosphere and the uppermost portion of the asthenosphere are assumed to be rigid.
seismic waves travel more quickly through denser materials and therefore generally travel more quickly with the depth it moves more slowly through a liquid than a solid. Molten areas within the Earth slow down P waves and stop S waves because their shearing motion cannot be transmitted through a liquid. Partially molten areas may slow down the P waves and attenuate or weaken S waves.
hope this helps...
S and P wave slow down and stop in the uppermost part of the mantle. - For this, scientists have concluded that the uppermost part of the mantle is partially-molten.
What is mantle?A planetary body's mantle is a layer that is surrounded by the crust on top and the core underneath. The largest and most substantial layer of a planetary body, mantles are often comprised of rock or ice. Planetary bodies that have undergone density differentiation typically have mantles. Mantles are found on all terrestrial planets (including Earth), many asteroids, and a few planetary moons.
Between the crust and the outer core, there is a silicate rock layer known as the Earth's mantle. Despite being mostly solid, it behaves like a viscous fluid over geological time. Oceanic crust is created by the partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges, and continental crust is created by the partial melting of the mantle at subduction zones.

On the map, which major plate is flanked by the red sea rift and the Minor Arabian Plate?
A:#1 North American Plate
B:#3 South American Plate
C:#5 Eurasian Plate
D:#2 African Plate
Answer:
D:#2 African Plate
Explanation:
The African Plate is flanked by the Red sea rift and the minor African plate.
The Red sea rift is a small part of a greater line of rifts known as the Great African Rift Valley. The rift valley is making several small lakes all through Africa and it will eventually split up the African continent.
The Red sea lift is the divergent boundary between the African plate and the Arabian plate. It means that the two plates are moving apart or spreading apart.

A copper wire of resistivity 2.6 × 10-8 Ω m, has a cross sectional area of 35 × 10-4 cm2
. Calculate
the length of this wire required to make a 10 Ω coil.
Answer:
the length of the wire is 134.62 m.
Explanation:
Given;
resistivity of the copper wire, ρ = 2.6 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm
cross-sectional area of the wire, A = 35 x 10⁻⁴ cm² = ( 35 x 10⁻⁴) x 10⁻⁴ m²
resistance of the wire, R = 10Ω
The length of the wire is calculated as follows;
[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\L = \frac{RA}{\rho} \\\\L= \frac{10 \times (35\times 10^{-4}) \times 10^{-4}}{2.6 \times 10^{-8}} \\\\L = 134.62 \ m[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the wire is 134.62 m.

Answer:
Some plains form as ice and water erodes, or wears away, the dirt and rock on higher land. Water and ice carry the bits of dirt, rock, and other material, called sediment, down hillsides to be deposited elsewhere. As layer upon layer of this sediment is laid down, plains form. Volcanic activity can also form plains.

A 20 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the wall at time t=0 and slides away from the wall at a rate of 2ft/sec. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at time t=1.
Answer: 0.516 ft/s
Explanation:
Given
Length of ladder L=20 ft
The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s
after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall
So, the other end of the ladder is at
[tex]\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft[/tex]
Also, at any instant t

A 101 kg basketball player crouches down 0.380 m while waiting to jump. After exerting a force on the floor through this 0.380 m, his feet leave the floor and his center of gravity rises 0.920 m above its normal standing erect position. (a) Using energy considerations, calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. m/s (b) What average force (in N) did he exert on the floor
Answer:
[tex]4.25\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
[tex]3391.22\ \text{N}[/tex]
Explanation:
y = Height of compression = 0.38 m
m = Mass of basketball player = 101 kg
h = Height of center of gravity after jump = 0.92 m
g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]
Energy balance of the system is given by
[tex]mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.92}\\\Rightarrow v=4.25\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
The velocity of the player when he leaves the floor is [tex]4.25\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
[tex]Fy=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{y}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{101\times 9.81\times 0.38+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 101\times 4.25^2}{0.38}\\\Rightarrow F=3391.22\ \text{N}[/tex]
The force exerted on the floor is [tex]3391.22\ \text{N}[/tex].

16. Two electric bulbs marked 100W 220V and 200W 200V have tungsten
filament of same length. Which of the two bulbs will have thicker
filament?
Answer:
The second bulb will have thicker filament
Explanation:
Given;
First electric bulb: Power, P₁ = 100 W and Voltage, V₁ = 220 V
Second electric bulb: Power, P₂ = 200 W and Voltage, V₂ = 200 V
Resistivity of tungsten, ρ = 4.9 x 10⁻⁸ ohm. m
Resistance of the first bulb:
[tex]P = IV = \frac{V}{R} .V = \frac{V^2}{R} \\\\R = \frac{V^2}{P} \\\\R_1 = \frac{V_1^2}{P_1} = \frac{(220)^2}{100} = 484 \ ohms[/tex]
Resistance of the second bulb:
[tex]R_2 = \frac{V_2^2}{P_2} = \frac{(200)^2}{200} = 200 \ ohms[/tex]
Resistivity of the tungsten filament is given by the following equation;
[tex]\rho = \frac{RA}{L}[/tex]
where;
L is the length of the filament
R is resistance of each filament
A is area of each filament
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
where;
r is the thickness of each filament
[tex]\rho = \frac{R (\pi r^2)}{L} \\\\\frac{\rho L}{\pi} = Rr^2 \\\\Recall ,\ \frac{\rho L}{\pi} \ is \ constant \ for \ both \ filaments\\\\R_1r_1^2 = R_2r_2^2\\\\(\frac{r_1}{r_2} )^2 = \frac{R_2}{R_1} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{R_2}{R_1} } \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{200}{484} } \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = 0.64\\\\r_1 = 0.64 \ r_2\\\\r_2 = 1.56 \ r_1[/tex]
Therefore, the second bulb will have thicker filament

. Estimate the buoyant force that air exerts on you. (To do this, you can estimate your volume by knowing your weight and by assuming that your weight density is a bit less than that of water.)
Answer:
[tex]0.886[/tex] N buoyant force is exerted by air
Explanation:
My weight is [tex]75[/tex] Kg
Weight = mass * gravity
As we know
Buoyant Force is equal to the product of density * acceleration due to gravity and volume of the body
Assuming weight density is a bit less than that of water or equal to water i.e [tex]997.77[/tex] kg/m3
Volume is equal to mass / density
[tex]= 75[/tex] Kg * g/[tex]997.777[/tex]
[tex]= 0.0751[/tex] * g
Buoyant Force
= Volume * g * density
[tex]= 0.0751 * 9.8 * 1.2041[/tex]kg/m3
[tex]= 0.886[/tex] N

why the speed of light decreases as it passes from air into another substance?
Answer:
If light enters any substance with a higher refractive index (such as from air into glass) it slows down. The light bends towards the normal line. If light travels enters into a substance with a lower refractive index (such as from water into air) it speeds up. The light bends away from the normal line.
