When two oceanic plates meet, the process of subduction occurs. During this, the denser plate slips underneath the lighter one, creating a subduction zone. In these subduction zones, a trench is formed.
Trenches are deep crevices on the ocean floor and are home to many different marine species.<span />
Answer:
Explanation:
The centripetal force acting on the car must be equal to mv²/R, where m is the mass of the car, v its speed and R the radius of the curve. Since the only force acting on the car that is in the direction of the center of the circle is the frictional force, we have by the Newton's Second Law:
But we know that:
And the normal force is given by the sum of the forces in the vertical direction:
Finally, we have:
So, the minimum value for the coefficient of friction is 0.27.
The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.
a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar
0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>
b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg
0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>
