Answer: Viscous property

Explanation: The asthenosphere is the layer that lies below the crust. This layer is generally viscous, where the rocks floats due to deformation. It is the top part of the mantle and generation of convection current pushes the materials to move, thereby breaking the crust, causing it to move in convergent or divergent direction or slide past each other. The composition is same for both the lithosphere and the asthenosphere but it has its viscous property.

A motorcycle is traveling along a highway at 26 m/s. How far does the motorcycle travel in 15 s?​
leva [86]
26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.

Question 10 of 34
labwork [276]

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4  \ block /min

Hence option B is correct.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY PHYSICS QUESTIONS? I NEED CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY!

<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />

According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.  

Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}  

Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.

Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely  true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:

If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
