Answer:
Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.
Answer:
D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact or not.
Explanation:
- The gravitational force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having mass. This force is always attractive and its magnitude is given by

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between the two masses.
- The electrical force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having electrical charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the sign of the two charges, and its magnitude is given by

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r the distance between the two charges.
Looking at both formulas, we see that the two forces are present even when the two objects are not in contact with each other (in fact, r can assume any value in the formula). They are said to be non-contact forces. Therefore, the correct option is
D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact or not.
The box is accelerated from rest to 4 m/s in a matter of 2.5 s, so its acceleration <em>a</em> is such that
4 m/s = <em>a</em> (2.5 s) → <em>a</em> = (4 m/s) / (2.5 s) = 1.6 m/s²
Then the force applied to the box has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that
<em>F</em> = (10 kg) (1.6 m/s²) = 16 N

Stress is a condition of mental strain or pressure on the body and coming about because of unfavorable or demanding conditions that the person cannot handle at that moment.</span>
The force acting on the object is constant, so the acceleration of the object is also constant. By definition of average acceleration, this acceleration was
<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / ∆<em>t</em> = (6 m/s - 0) / (1.7 s) ≈ 3.52941 m/s²
By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the force <em>F</em> is proportional to the acceleration <em>a</em> according to
<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>
where <em>m</em> is the object's mass. Solving for <em>m</em> gives
<em>m</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>a</em> = (10 N) / (3.52941 m/s²) ≈ 2.8 kg
