1. friction between water molecules
2. the wave spreads out onto a larger and larger area, so per unit area, the energy of the wave goes down

Which type of listening response includes the use of head nods, facial expressions, and short utterances such as "uh-huh" that s
BARSIC [14]
This type of listening response is called back-channel signal. This allows the speaker to know that the listener is attentive or willing to engage a conversation between them. It is shown through short utterances, facial expressions, head nods and others.

In which of these samples do the molecules most likely have the most kinetic energy? (2 points)
Vinvika [58]

D, water vapor. Gaseous state would have more kinetic energy, they are moving faster. If you have to compare the same state, then higher temperature would have the higher kinetic energy. But if you have solid and liquid at the same temperature - then liquid would have more.

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 15.5 m/s from the edge of a cliff 75.0 m high .
rjkz [21]

a) 2.64 s

We can solve this part of the problem by using the following SUVAT equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the displacement of the stone

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We must be careful to the signs of s, u and a. Taking upward as positive direction, we have:

- s (displacement) negative, since it is downward: so s = -75.0 m

- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s

- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a= g = -9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

Substituting into the equation,

-75.0 = 15.5 t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-15.5t-75.0 = 0

Solving the equation, we have two solutions: t = -5.80 s and t = 2.84 s. Since the negative solution has no physical meaning, the stone reaches the bottom of the cliff 2.64 s later.

b) 10.4 m/s

The speed of the stone when it reaches the bottom of the cliff can be calculated by using the equation:

v=u+at

where again, we must be careful to the signs of the various quantities:

- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s

- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

Substituting t = 2.64 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:

v = 15.5 +(-9.8)(2.64)=-10.4 m/s

where the negative sign means that the velocity is downward: so the speed is 10.4 m/s.

c) 4.11 s

In this case, we can use again the equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the displacement of the package

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

We have:

s = -105 m (vertical displacement of the package, downward so negative)

u = +5.40 m/s (initial velocity of the package, which is the same as the helicopter, upward so positive)

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

Substituting into the equation,

-105 = 5.40 t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2 -5.40 t-105=0

Which gives two solutions: t = -5.21 s and t = 4.11 s. Again, we discard the first solution since it is negative, so the package reaches the ground after

t = 4.11 seconds.

(Thought question) At noon On June 21 will the shadow length of 42 degrees north latitude be shorter or longer than it is on Mar
g100num [7]

Answer: Shorter

Explanation: Shadow is formed when an light source is obstructed by an opaque object. The closer the source, shorter is the length of the shadow. In fact, when the source is exactly overhead, no shadow of the object is formed.

June 21 marks the Summer solstice which means the Sun passes directly overhead Tropic of cancer (23.5° N) at noon. March 21 marks the equinox which means sun passes directly overhead equator (0°).

Shadow length of an object at 42° Northern latitude will be shorter on June 21 because the Sun will be closer to this latitude as compared to March 21.
