This is easily explained saying that the frictional force between the books and the paper isn't big enough to produce a displacement in the books. The displacement in the books doesn't happen because the frictional force between the books and the surface they are standing on is bigger than the paper's one.
Answer:
a = (v2 - v1) / t
From A to B (8 - 4) m/s / 1 s = 4 m / s^2
From A to D ( 7 - 4) m/s / 5 s = .6 m / s^2
Note these equations hold for "uniform" values
They say nothing about the acceleration at intermediate points - the equation just says that his average speed increased from 4 m/s to 7 m/s during a 5 sec period
The answer is A
Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators
