The deeper you go, the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up.

Answer:

Pressure is force per unit area. In this case the force is primarily the weight of the overlying rock. So , in very simple terms, the deeper you go the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up. It is basically the same thing that happens in the ocean and in the atmosphere.

You are pulling a suitcase through the airport at a constant speed by exerting a force of 28.0 N at an angle 30.0° from the hori

forsale [732]

The force of friction that is acting on the suitcase is the force that opposes the motion of the suitcase.

<h3>What is friction?</h3>

The force that resists the motion between two bodies in contact. There are some materials that reduces friction such as oil in a car engine reduces friction. In this example, friction creates between the motion of suitcase and with the ground.

So we can conclude that the force of friction that is acting on the suitcase is the force that opposes the motion of the suitcase.
