<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is</u><u> (B)mantle convection</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Tectonic plates at the earth's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. this heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell and producing a movement called mantle convection which is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate.

A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The force that cause the centripetal acceleration is the static friction, and the briefcase begin to move if the force of centripetal acceleration exceeds the force due to the static friction

Explanation:

Given data:

r = radius = 54.5 m

v = speed of the car = 12.4 m/s

The force due to the static friction that is exerted on the curve in the road is what causes the centripetal acceleration. If the force due to centripetal acceleration is greater than the force of static friction, then the briefcase will begin to roll.

Si un auto se mueve en rapidez constante de 25,0m/s a lo largo de 2500 m en línea recta, ¿cuál es la magnitud de la fuerza resul
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

F= 0

Explanation:

This exercise we use Newton's second law,

            F = m a

in this case as the speed is constant the acceleration is zero therefore the force is zero.

Change we can solve it using Newton's first law, which states that every vehicle remains still or with constant speed if there is no extensive outside acting on it

We see that with any of the two forms the sum of the applied forces is zero

                     ∑ F = 0

Winding roads are made on hills, why?​
FromTheMoon [43]
Answer.

The road on the hills goes upward with the increasing length of the road.That's why we make a winding roads because it reduces the allover surface inclination in every portion of the road which is suitable for driving the vehicles.
