Answer:

False

Explanation:

Balanced forces result in a net force of 0N. This means no direction or acceleration change will be applied to the object. A torque may be applied, but with no other external forces, the object will not move.

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

$W=-Fd$

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

$F=\mu mg$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

$W=-\mu mg d$ (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$ (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

$-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d$

And solving for $\mu$ , we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

$\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767$

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges. Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
