Answer:

False

Explanation:

The outer part of the Earth that is hard and solid is termed as lithosphere. It is the outermost part of the Earth's surface. The lithosphere covered under the oceans is the oceanic lithosphere while the lithosphere comprising the continental area is the continental lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is denser than the continental lithosphere because of the thin layer of the Earth that exists under the oceans.

Answer:

(i) See attached image for the drawing

(ii) net force given in component form: (20, 20)N with magnitude: $\sqrt{800} \,\,\,N$

Explanation:

First try to write all forces in vector component form:

The force F1 acting at 45 degrees would have multiplication factors of $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ on both axes, to take care of the sine and cosine projections. Therefore, the:

x-component of F1 is $F1_x=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N$

y-component of F1 is $F1_y=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N$

As far as force F2, it is given already in x and y components, then:

x-component of F2 = 8 N

y-component of F2 = -6 N (negative meaning pointing down the y-axis)

Force F3 has only component (upwards) in the y-direction

x-component of F3 = 0 N

y-component of F3 =14 N

The additions of all these component by component, gives the resultant force (R) acting on the 5 kg mass:

x-component of R = 12 + 8 = 20 N

y-component of R = 12 + 14 - 6 = 20 N

Therefore, the acceleration that the mass receives due to this force is given in component form as:

x-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = $4\,\,\,m/s^2$

y-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = $4\,\,\,m/s^2$

Now we can calculate the components of the velocity of this mass after 2 seconds of being accelerated by this force, using the formula of acceleration times time:

x-component of the velocity is: $v_x=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s$

y-component of the velocity is: $v_y=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s$

an aeroplane moving horizontally with a speed of 180 km/hr drops a food packet while flying at a height of 490m . the horizontal

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The time the package travels horizontally is equal to the time it takes to hit the ground. This can be calculated using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²; u is 0
480 = 4.9t²
t = 9.90 seconds

Horizontal distance = horizontal speed x time
The speed will be converted to m/s from km/h
= 180 km/hr x 1000m/km x 1hr/3600 seconds x 9.90 seconds
= 495 m

How long would i t take to walk around the eath nonstop?

zaharov [31]

Divide (25,000) by (the number of miles you can walk in 1 hour).
The answer you get is the number of hours it would take you to walk around the Earth once, IF you were able to walk on water too.
