The total force applied by the three people is:
This force is pushing toward the direction of the motion, while the frictional force
points in the opposite direction.
We can write Newton's second law applied to the block: the resultant of the two forces must be equal to the product between the block's mass and its acceleration
We know the mass of the block, m=500 kg, and the acceleration,
, so we can find the friction:
Answer:
D. Asthenosphere
Explanation:
The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.
Answer:
a) a = 6.1 m/s^2
b) a = 0.98m/s^2
Explanation:
Mass of slab = 40kg
Mass of block = 10kg
Coefficient of static friction (Us) = 0.60
Kinetic coefficient (UK) = 0.40
Horizontal force = 100N
The normal reaction from 40kg slab on 10 kg block = 10*9.81
= 98.1N
Static frictional force = Us*R
= 98.1*0.6
= 58.86N
This is less than the force applied
If 10 kg block will slide on the 40 kg slab, net force = 100 - kinetic force
Kinetic force (Uk*R) = 0.4*98.1
= 39.28N
= 39N
Net force = 100 -39
= 61N
Recall that F = ma
For 10 kg block
a = F/m
a = 61/10
a = 6.1m/s^2
b) Frictional force on 40 kg slab by 10 kg = 98.1*0.4
= 39.24
= 39N
F = ma
a = F/m
For 40kg slab
a = 39/40
a = 0.98m/s^2
