lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a) Gravity pulling the older and denser lithosphere downward.

Explanation:

Earth's crust is made of plates which float on mantle . Plates are of two types

1 ) oceanic plates which are older and heavier 2 ) continental plates which are lighter . Continents are situated on continental plates. Due to relative motion , oceanic plate, because of its  heavy weight,  goes under lighter continental plate . This is called subduction.

El. A horizontally directed force of 40 N is used to pull a box a distance of 2.5 m across a tabletop. How much work is done by
PIT_PIT [208]

The same formula of work can be applied to all the questions. The answers are:

E1. 100J

E2. 40N

E3. 5m

E4. a.) 360 J           b.) 240 J               c.) 120 J

El. If a horizontally directed force of 40 N is used to pull a box a distance of 2.5 m across a tabletop. The formula to get the much work that will be done by the 40 - N force will be

Work done = force x distance

Work done = 40 x 2.5

Work done = 100 J

E2. If a woman does 160 J of work to move a table 4 m across the floor. We will use the same formula to calculate the magnitude of the force that the woman applied to the table assuming the force is applied in the horizontal direction.

Work done = force x distance

160 = 4F

F = 160/4

Force F = 40 N

E3. Given that a force of 60 N used to push a chair across a room does 300 J of work. Same formula to get how far the chair move in this process.

Work done = force x distance

300 = 60 x distance

distance = 300/60

Distance = 5 m

Therefore, the chair moved 5m away.

E4. Given that a rope applies a horizontal force of 180 N to pull a crate a distance of 2 m across the floor. And a frictional force of 120 N opposes this motion.

a. The work done by the force applied by the rope can  be found by

W = F x S

W = 180 x 2

W = 360 J

b. What is the work done by the frictional force?

W = F_{r} x s

W = 120 x 2

W = 240 J

c. What is the total work done on the crate?

W = (F - F_{r}) x distance

Where  F_{r}  = frictional force

Substitute all the parameters

W = (180 - 120) x 2

W = 60 x 2

W = 120 J

Find acceleration. Will give brainliest!
zalisa [80]

Answer:

16200 km/s

270 km/min

4.5 km/h

Explanation:

Acceleration Formula: Average Acceleration = Δv/Δt (change in velocity over change in time)

Simply plug in our known variables and solve:

a = (45.0 - 0)/10

a = 45.0/10

a = 4.5 km/h

An object with a mass of 5kg accelerates at 2m/s2. How much force in Newtons(N) is needed to cause this to happen??
Reptile [31]

Answer: The formula of Newtons second law of motion is F=MA so therefore it would be written like this Force = Mass X Acceleration

F = 5 x 2

F = 10 N
