The weight of an ice sheet can cause continental lithosphere to sink into the underlying asthenosphere due to ____.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: Isostatic rebound

The weight of an ice sheet imposed on lithosphere in the continental block will cause the continent to sink in the asthenosphere due to isostatic rebound. The thickness of the ice sheet change with time as the sea level rise and the sinking of the lithosphere will continue until isostatic equilibrium is reached.

-- Use the formula D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²) to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters

A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 27 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 80 N hori

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:0.302

Explanation:

Given

mass of crate m=27 kg

Force required to set crate in motion is 80 N

Once the crate is set in motion 56 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 80 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 56 is the kinetic friction force

thus
