The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)

What effect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?
Lady_Fox [76]
Decreasing the distance between two objects having a considerable mass would increase the attraction on gravitation. The reverse is true that if you separate or inrease the objects distance would substantially decrease their gravitational attraction. Most object in our planet is held by its gravitational force towards it's center.

Which statements describe features that maps and globes share? Check all that apply.
leonid [27]

Maps and Globes share the following features:

Both are scale Models.

Explanation:

A globe is a scale model of the Earth that presents the most accurate depiction of geographic information such as area, distance, and direction.

A map is a two dimensional representation or a drawing of the earth’s surface, or a part of it, on a flat surface, according to a scale. Thus it is also a scale model.

A globe differs from a map. It is a three dimensional sphere representing the whole Earth.

A map is usually used to represent a specific part of the Earth and is used for Navigation. It has details and symbols. However, a globe can not be used for such details.

A globe can be used to get a broad-level picture of the world.

Keywords: geography, earth, maps, globes

avanturin [10]

Answer: Tension = 53.6N

Explanation:

Given that

Height h = 1 m

Time t = 1.7 s.

Mass m = 5.1 kg 

From the equation of the motion we can get the acceleration of the elevator:

h = X0+ V0t + at2/2;

Th elevator starts from rest with a constant upward acceleration. Initial velocity Vo = 0, also Xo = 0; thus

a = 2h/t2 = 2 × 1/1.7^2

a = 0.69 m/s2.

Then we can find the tension in the cord by using the formula

T = mg + ma

= 5.1 (9.8 + 0.69)

= 5.1 × 10.5

= 53.6N
