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.

Answer:

SKID

Explanation:

In general, airplane tracks are flat, they do not have cant, consequently the friction force is what keeps the bicycle in the circle.

Let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis.

Y axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = W

X axis (radial)

        fr = m a

the acceleration in the curve is centripetal

         a = \frac{v^2}{r}

the friction force has the expression

        fr = μ N

we substitute

       μ mg = m v²/r

       v = \sqrt{\mu g r}

we calculate

      v = \sqrt{0.1 \ 9.8 \ 3}

      v = 1,715 m / s

to compare with the cyclist's speed let's reduce to the SI system

        v₀ = 18 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 5 m / s

We can see that the speed that the cyclist is carrying is greater than the speed that the curve can take, therefore the cyclist will SKID

__________ is a developmental defect in which a portion of the spinal cord protrudes outside the vertebrae.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Spina bifida

Explanation:

Spina bifida is a developmental defect in which a portion of the spinal cord protrudes outside the vertebrae.

Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when there is improper formation of the spine and spinal cord. It's a type of neural tube defect. The structure in a developing embryo that eventually becomes the baby's brain, spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them is the neutral tube.
