Answer:

Option E:

The mantle

Explanation:

The earth's mantle is the mushy, semi-solid portion of the earth that makes up most of the earth's volume. The mantle extends for a depth of about 2800km downwards into the earth, making it the largest internal portion of the earth.  It makes up about 84 percent of the earth's structure, leaving the core and the crust with 15 percent and 1 percent respectively.

Due its nature, convection currents are set up predominantly in the mantle of the earth, which leads to movements in the upper layers of the earth (the crust).

The mantle is large enough for the lighter crust to float on its surface.

A jumbo jet weighing 65,000 kg Is accelerating at 3 m/s^2 while its jet engines are putting out 200000 N of thrust.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Fa = 5000 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Let's assume that the movement of the plane is to the right, any movement or force to the right will be marked with a positive sign, while any force or movement to the left, will be taken as negative.

The force of the turbine drives the plane to the right, therefore it is positive, the acceleration is constant and keeps the movement to the right, therefore it is positive, the wind drag force tries to prevent the movement of the plane to the left therefore it is negative, with this analysis we deduce the following equation.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 65000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 3 [m/s²]

Fa = force exerted by the air [N]

200000 - Fa = 65000*3

Fa = 200000 - (3*65000)

Fa = 5000 [N]
