In a shuffleboard game, the puck slides a total of 12 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient ofkinetic friction between the

puck and the horizontal board is 0.28, what was the initial speed of thepuck?

Answer:

puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg

Explanation:

given data

total distance = 12 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.28

solution

we will apply equation of motion that is

v² - u² = 2 × a × s    ................1

we know acceleration will be

a = \frac{-u^2}{2\times S}  

Then we have

Force = mass × acceleration   .................2

m × \frac{-u^2}{2\times S} = -μk mg

The puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg  

and frictional force is negative as it opposes the motion.

so we get initial velocity of the puck which is strike.

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

Within the theory of G relativity what, exactly, is meant by " the speed of light WITHIN A VACUUM" ? &amp; what does that have t
Ber [7]
The speed of light "within a vacuum" refers to the speed of electromagnetic radiation propagating in empty space, in the complete absence of matter.  This is an important distinction because light travels slower in material media and the theory of relativity is concerned with the speed only in vacuum.  In fact, the theory of relativity and the "speed of light" actually have nothing to do with light at all.  The theory deals primarily with the relation between space and time and weaves them into an overarching structure called spacetime.  So where does the "speed of light" fit into this?  It turns out that in order to talk about space and time as different components of the same thing (spacetime) they must have the same units.  That is, to get space (meters) and time (seconds) into similar units, there has to be a conversion factor.  This turns out to be a velocity.  Note that multiplying time by a velocity gives a unit conversion of
seconds \times  \frac{meters}{seconds} =meters
This is why we can talk about lightyears.  It's not a unit of time, but distance light travels in a year.  We are now free to define distance as a unit of time because we have a way to convert them.  
As it turns out light is not special in that it gets to travel faster than anything else.  Firstly, other things travel that fast too (gravity and information to name two).  But NO events or information can travel faster than this.  Not because they are not allowed to beat light to the finish line---remember my claim that light has nothing to do with it.  It's because this speed (called "c") converts space and time.  A speed greater than c isn't unobtainable---it simply does not exist.  Period.  Just like I can't travel 10 meters without actually moving 10 meters, I cannot travel 10 meters without also "traveling" at least about 33 nanoseconds (about the time it takes light to get 10 meters)  There is simply no way to get there in less time, anymore than there is a way to walk 10 meters by only walking 5.  
We don't see this in our daily life because it is not obvious that space and time are intertwined this way.  This is a result of our lives spent at such slow speeds relative to the things around us.
This is the fundamental part to the Special Theory of Relativity (what you called the "FIRST" part of the theory)  Here is where Einstein laid out the idea of spacetime and the idea that events (information) itself propagates at a fixed speed that, unlike light, does not slow down in any medium.  The idea that what is happening "now" for you is not the same thing as what is "now" for distant observers or observers that are moving relative to you.  It's also where he proposed of a conversion factor between space and time, which turned out to be the speed of light in vacuum.

In general, the time it takes from when in interstellar cloud fragment first begins collapsing until it gives birth to a main-se
erik [133]

Answer:

longer for less massive stars.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

Some of the examples of stars are Canopus, Sun (closest to the Earth), Betelgeus, Antares, Vega etc.

Generally, the time taken for the collapse of an interstellar cloud fragment to the period (time) when a main-sequence star is given birth to, is usually longer for less massive stars.

This ultimately implies that, stars that are not so massive or big in size are transformed from interstellar cloud fragment to a main-sequence star is lesser.
