Answer:
5. Is greater than mg, always
Explanation:
If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:
x-axis (centripetal axis):
N*sin β = m*ax where ax is the centripetal acceleration
y-axis:
N*cos β - m*g = m*ay where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.
Solving for N:

If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.
If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.
The correct anwser is in deep soil or anoxic aquatic sediment.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:
KE =
m
Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.
For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.
Thus,
KE =
x 2 x 
= 9
KE = 9.0 Joules
Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:
KE =
x 2 x 
= 16
KE = 16.0 Joules
Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.
