If the seafloor is spreading why isn't earth getting bigger?

1 answer:

7 0

Well there are areas of the seafloor that are spreading due to tectonic plates moving apart but there are also places where these plates meet and one slides under the other (subduction zones) as a result, the earth is not getting bigger since these two actions cancel each other out.

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2$

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².
