Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment.
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Fk = μK N
N = m a
N = 4 × a
N = 4a
Fk = μK N
17 = 5 × 4a
17 = 20 a
a = ¹⁷/₂₀ = 0.85 m/s²
Answer:

Explanation:
The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as
while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have
