Not exactly forces but because they are floating on the liquid mantle

<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

A ball is shot straight up from the surface of the
koban [17]
A ) The displacement:
d = v o t - (gt²) / 2 = 
= 19.6 m/s × 1 s - ( 9.8 m/s² x 1 s² ) / 2 = 
= 19.6 m - 4.9 m = 14.7 m
b ) v = v o - g t
0 = 19.6 m/s - 9.8 t    ( when the ball is at the highest point )
9.8 t = 19.6
t = 19.6 : 9.8
t = 2 s
h = v o t - (gt²)/2 = 19.6 x 2 - ( 9.8 x 4 ) / 2 = 39.2 - 19.6
h = 19.6 m
c ) h = gt² / 2
19.6 = 9.8 t²/2
9.8 t² = 39.2
t² = 39.2 : 9.8
t² = 4
t 2 = 2 s   ( and we know that t 1 = 2 s )
t = t 1 + t 2 = 2 s + 2 s = 4 s

A bicyclist of mass 60kg supplies 340W of power while riding into a 5 m/s head wind. The frontal area of the cyclist and bicycle
NikAS [45]

Answer:

87.1 mph

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m=60 kg

Power,P=340 W

Speed,v=5 m/s

Area,A=0.344 m^2

Drag coefficient,C_d=0.88

Coefficient of rolling resistance,\mu_r=0.007

Friction force,f=\mu_rmg=0.007\times 60\times 9.8=4.1 N

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Let speed of cyclist=v'

Drag force,F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho_{air}AC_dv^2

Density of air,\rho_{air}=1.225 kg/m^3

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.225\times 0.344\times 0.88(5)^2=4.635N

Power,P=(F_d+f)\times v'

340=(4.1+4.635) v'=8.735v'

v'=\frac{340}{8.735}=38.9m/s

v'=87.1 mph

1 m=0.00062137 miles

1 hour=3600 s
