Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2
Explanation:
When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:
W = g*m
where:
m = mass of the man
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:
824N = m*9.8m/s^2
824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg
Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.
Then the new weight is calculated as:
W = m*(g + a)
and we know that in this case:
W = 932N
g = 9.8m/s^2
m = 84.1 kg
Then we can find the value of a if we solve:
932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)
932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a
11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2
The correct option is C
Answer:
D. Asthenosphere
Explanation:
The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.
