The layers that make up the upper mantle are the following.

  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
  • The rocky outer part of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
  • It is very rigid, solid, and it is not as hot as the other parts.
  • According to scientists, its thickness is about 90 to 100 kilometers from the surface of the earth.
  • The layer of the Earth that moves the lithospheric plates is called the asthenosphere.
  • Lithospheric plates are 60 miles long on average and are composed of continental crust.

We conclude that the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle. The new lithosphere is being created at oceanic ridges due to plate tectonics. Yes, planet Earth is getting larger constantly.

In a shuffleboard game, the puck slides a total of 12 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient ofkinetic friction between the
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg

Explanation:

given data

total distance = 12 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.28

solution

we will apply equation of motion that is

v² - u² = 2 × a × s    ................1

we know acceleration will be

a = \frac{-u^2}{2\times S}  

Then we have

Force = mass × acceleration   .................2

m × \frac{-u^2}{2\times S} = -μk mg

The puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg  

and frictional force is negative as it opposes the motion.

so we get initial velocity of the puck which is strike.
