Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The component of the woman's weight along the hillside is larger than the kinetic friction between the woman and the ground

Explanation:

Given that the coefficient of static friction is always larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction, we have that before the wind blew, the component of the woman's weight along the hillside was lesser than the static friction between the woman and the ground, when the wind blew the total force of the wind and the component of the woman's weight put her into motion such that the acting frictional force was then the kinetic frictional force which was lesser than the kinetic frictional force so the woman continues to slide down the hillside without the wind.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$a=9\ cm/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Average Acceleration </u>

Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.

Note: <em>We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that. </em>

When $t_2=4\ sec$ , the graph shows a value of $v_2=36\ cm/s$

When $t_1=0\ sec$ , the object is at rest, $v_1=0$

We compute the average acceleration as

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s-0\ cm/s}{4\ sec-0\ sec}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s}{4\ s}$

$\boxed{a=9\ cm/s^2}$

Regions in the milky way where density waves have caused gas clouds to crash into each other are called clumps.Clumps are molecular clouds (interstellar clouds) with higher density,where lots of dust and gs cores resides. These clouds are the beginning of stars.

1-A train travels 100 km to reach town A in one hour and 15 min. The train stops at station A for 45 minutes. Then it travels 15

kirill [66]

Answer 1) : 62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

Explanation:

1) Displacement of the train = 100 km + 150 km = 250 km

Total time train took =1 hour 15 min+ 45 min + 2 hours = 240 min = 4 hours

Average velocity= $\frac{Displacement}{time}=\frac{250 km}{4 hour}=62.5 km/h$

62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The acceleration of the car, a= 1.2 $m/s^2$

Distance covered by the car,s = 75 m

Initial velocity of the car , $v_i$ = 6 m/s

Final velocity of thre car , $v_f$ =?

Using third equation of motion:

$v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2as=(6 m/s)^2+2\times 1.2 m/s\times 75 m=216 m^2/s^2$

$v_{f}=14.69 m/s$

The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

Nutka1998 [239]

At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.
