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 :)

A 30.4-newton force is used to slide a 40.0-newton crate a distance of 6.00 meters at constant speed along an incline to a verti

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Hi there!

Since the crate is being slid at a constant speed, the forces sum to 0 N. In this instance, the following forces occur in the axis of interest:

Wsinθ = downward acceleration along incline due to gravity (N)

Fκ = kinetic friction force along incline (N)

A = applied force (N)

The acceleration due to gravity and friction force act in the same direction, so:

Wsinθ + Fκ = A

Solve for sinθ using right triangle trigonometry:

sinθ = O/H = 3/6 = 0.5

Rearrange the equation for the force of kinetic friction and solve:

Fκ = A - 0.5W

Fκ = 30.4 - 20 = 10.4 N

Now, recall that:

Work = Force × displacement (W = F × d)

Since the box's displacement is in the same axis as the force but OPPOSITE direction, we must use:

W = Fdcosθ

Angle between displacement and friction force is 180°.

cos(180) = -1

Work done by friction = -Fd = -10.4(6) = -62.4 J

A metal block has a density of 5000 kg per cubic meter and a mass of 15,000 kg. What is its volume?

Naily [24]

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of the metal block</h3>

In this case, you know that:
