Hello, for this use the <u>2nd law of Newton:</u>
F = ma
Replacing:
4200 N = m * 60 m/s^2
Resolving:
4200 N / 60 m/s^2 = m
70 kg = m
The mass is <u>70 kg</u>
Answer: 184,615,384.6 years
Explanation:
This problem can be solve by the following equation:
(1)
Where:
is the spreading rate of the seafloor, its velocity
is the distance the Africa's west coast moved at this rate
is the time it took to the coast to move the descibed distance
Isolating
from (1):
(2)
(3)
Finally:
This is the time it took to the Africa's west coastto move away from the Mid atlantic ridge.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
Given the information from the exercise we can calculate the work done by the elevator using the following formula:

a) Considering you and your belongings as a system we know that the elevator is applying a Normal reaction force of:

Since the force applied and the displacement is in the same direction, the work done by the elevator is positive

b) The reaction force applied by the elevator is the same as the weight of the person

Since the force applied and the displacement is in opposite direction, the work done by the elevator is negative

D. an outside or unbalanced force acts upon the object.
