Why does lithostatic pressure increase more rapidly with depth than hydrostatic pressure?

Physics

<span>Answer: Because rock is more dense than water

Lithostatic pressure is pressure caused by soil or rock. It similar to hydrostatic pressure, the pressure caused by water. Pressure is force per area and force is dependent on the mass. Rock is denser than water, thus having more mass and more force.</span>

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

A car travels along a clear 10.0 km section of motorway in 6.0 minutes. It then drives through 3.0 km of roadwork in 3.0 minutes
Charra [1.4K]
  • 6min=1/10h=0.1h
  • 3min=1/20h=0.05h

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{Total\:Displacement}{Total\:Time}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{10+3}{0.1+0.05}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{13}{0.15}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=86.6km/h

Feng and Isaac are riding on a merry-ground. Feng rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far from
kogti [31]

Answer: The question is incomplete or missing details. here is the remaining part of the question ;

1. impossible to determine

2. half of Isaac’s

3. the same as Isaac’s

4. twice Isaac’s

The angular speed of feng will be the same as that of Isaac. Hence the answer is option 3

Explanation:

Since we have been told that both feng and isaac are riding on a merry go round i.e in a circular motion, irrespective of how fast one ride above the other, the angular speed will be constant since they are riding on a merry go round, as such both feng and isaac will maintain equal angular speed, hence the angular speed of feng will be the same as that of Isaac.
