Answer:

lithosphere and asthenosphere

Explanation:

Lithosphere is the part of the earth surface which is rigid and hard. It consists of whole crust and the upper mantle.It comprises of number of plates called plate tectonic.

The asthenosphere is the Earth's upper mantle's extremely viscous, mechanically fragile and ductile area. This sits below the lithosphere, some 80 to 200 km below the ground at depths. The boundary between lithosphere and asthenosphere is commonly referred to as LAB.

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.
