The plates make up Earth's outer shell, called the lithosphere. (This includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle.) Churning currents in the molten rocks below propel them along like a jumble of conveyor belts in disrepair. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or divide.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Newtons first law states that:

If a body is in rest or motion in a straight line, it remains at rest or at motion in a straight line with constant speed until and unless and external unbalanced force acts on it.

'This law is also known as the law of Inertia.'

A 20-lb force acts to the west while an 80-lb force acts 45° east of north. The magnitu 80 lb 70 lb 067 lb 100 lb

natulia [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

force act on west = 20 lb

force act at 45° east of north = 80 lb

magnitude of force = ?

∑ F y = 80 cos 45⁰

F y = 56.57 lb

magnitude of forces in x- direction

∑ F x = -20 + 80 sin 45⁰

= 36.57 lb

net force

F = $\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

F = $\sqrt{56.57^2+36.57^2}$

F = 67.36 lb≅ 67 lb

hence, the correct answer is option C

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?

yan [13]

The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg
