What results with forces within the Earth are pulled toward each other?

Gravitational forces within the Earth pull objects toward its center. This force causes objects to have weight and creates a downward acceleration due to gravity.


What is meant by like and unlike parallel forces?

Like Parallel forces are the forces that are parallel to each other and have same direction. Unlike parallel forces are the forces that are parallel but have directions opposite to each other.


When do the smallest tidal ranges occur?

The smallest tidal ranges, known as neap tides, occur during the first and third quarters of the moon when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. This alignment causes their gravitational forces to partially cancel each other out, resulting in weaker tides.


How do these forces explain the movement of the continents?

Plate tectonics theory explains the movement of continents by the interactions of tectonic plates. The forces of divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving toward each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other) drive the movement of continents on Earth's surface. This movement leads to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift.


What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?

When crustal plates move toward each other, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity in the area.

How to make a system of forces in equilibrium just by changing the angles of forces?

To ensure a system of forces is in equilibrium by changing the angles of the forces, adjust the angles until the vector sum of all forces in the horizontal and vertical directions equals zero. This means that the forces balance each other out, leading to equilibrium. Use trigonometric functions to determine the components of each force in different directions to achieve equilibrium.


When forces pull toward each other?

Im pretty sure that is called gravity/attraction


What type of forces pull plate toward each other?

compression :)


What is the difference between opposing forces?

Opposing forces are forces that act in opposite directions or toward opposite goals. They can cancel each other out or result in a state of balance. On the other hand, conflicting forces are forces that are incompatible or contradictory, leading to tension or disagreement.

Why does gravity pulls objects to earth?

Gravity is the cause of a pair of forces that attract any two specks of mass toward each other. The forces act along the line between the centers of the objects. As long as you're anywhere near Earth, the forces of gravity pull the Earth toward the center of you, and pull you toward the center of the Earth (and they're equal).


What will be the resultant of addition of five equal forces along the sides of pentagon?

If the forces are all normal (at right angles to) the sides the resultant is 0 (they all cancel each other out ).


What effect does gravity have on objects?

Gravity causes forces that attract every two objects in the universe toward each other.


What plate boundary feature is associated with the compressive forces?

High folded mountains where two plates are pushing toward each other


The measurement of the force gravity on an object is the object's?

The strength of the mutual forces of gravity that attract two objects toward each other is called the "weight" of each object in the presence of the other one. The strength of the mutual gravitational forces that attract you and the earth toward each other is called your weight on the earth. Nobody cares about the earth's weight on you, but it's exactly the same number.

What is interacting forces?

Interacting forces are forces that act on an object simultaneously or in close succession, influencing its motion or deformation. These forces can either work in the same direction, opposing directions, or at angles to each other. The resulting effect on the object's behavior depends on the magnitude and direction of each force.
