Answer:

C. Downward force from rocks in the crust

Explanation:

Diamonds are different forms of element carbon. Diamonds are formed in Mantle and they require large amount of temperature and pressure for their formation. These come up in higher layers due to volcanic eruptions. The pressure is caused by the downward force from the rocks in the crust. The pressure is not constant everywhere because the thickness of the layer varies. Thus, diamonds are not that common.

Answer:

d = 2.54 [m]

Explanation:

Through the theorem of work and energy conservation, we can find the work that is done. Considering that the energy in the initial state is only kinetic energy, while the energy in the final state is also kinetic, however, this is zero since the body stops.

$E_{k1}+W=E_{k2}\\$

where:

W = work [J]

Ek1 = kinetic energy at initial state [J]

Ek2 = kinetic energy at the final state = 0.

We must remember that kinetic energy can be calculated by means of the following expression.

$\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}-W=0\\W= \frac{1}{2} *4*(5)^{2}\\W= 50 [J]$

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

$W=F*d$

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

But the friction force is equal to the product of the normal force (body weight) by the coefficient of friction.

$f=m*g*0.5\\f = 4*9.81*0.5\\f = 19.62 [N]$

Now solving the equation for the work.

$d=W/F\\d = 50/19.62\\d = 2.54[m]$

3) A driver in a 1000-kg car traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefticient of friction between

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A) 37 m

Explanation:

The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2ad$ (1)

where

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the length of the skid

We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:

$F=ma=-\mu mg$

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

$\mu = 0.80$ is the coefficient of friction

a is the deceleration of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:

$a=-\mu g$
