brick, dry soil, paper, and water. If all four substances were exposed to sunlight for the same amount of time, which substance

would heat up the fastest?

Water because the light is able to enter the water and allow heat to enter faster.

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per

ddd [48]

Answer:

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

$h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

$147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

$16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0$

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on

Vikki [24]

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F_f = ma$ (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg$

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

$a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

$F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N$

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

What is the difference between a cannabinoid and a trichome?

Sedbober [7]

<span>Trichome density and type and cannabinoid content of leaves and bracts were quantitated during organ ontogeny for three clones of Cannabis sativa L. Trichome initiation and development were found to occur throughout leaf and bract ontogeny. On leaves, bulbous glands were more abundant than capitate-sessile glands for all clones, although differences in density for each gland type were evident between clones. On pistillate bracts, capitate-sessile glands were more abundant than the bulbous form on all clones, and both types decreased in relative density during bract ontogeny for each clone. The capitate-stalked gland, present on bracts but absent from vegetative leaves, increased in density during bract ontogeny. The capitate-stalked gland appeared to be initiated later than bulbous or capitate-sessile glands during bract development and on one clone it was first found midway in bract ontogeny. Nonglandular trichomes decreased in density during organ ontogeny, but the densities differed between leaves and bracts and also between clones. Specific regulatory mechanisms appear to exist to control the development of each trichome type independently.</span>
