If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .
I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect.
On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on.
The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?
Answer:
The (minimum) thickness of the oil slick is 325 nm.
Explanation:
Let the (minimum) thickness of the oil slick = 
Therefore:
2 = (
+
)*λ
/
(1)
similarly,
2=(
)*λ
/ (2)
Thus, equation 1 = equation 2
(+
*λ
= (
*λ
Where:
λ
λ
Therefore:
=650/390=5/3
This shows that,
=2
=1
Thus, using equation 2
=
FALSE!!! exercise is great for all systems!!
Answer:
liquid?
Explanation:
liquid: A substance that flows and keeps no definite shape because its molecules are loosely packed and constantly moving. It takes the shape of its container but maintains constant volume.
A. Energy was used to change phase of water from liquid to gas (evaporation). it is radiated back into the atmosphere from the stove.
This is because water evaperates after reaching it's boiling point.
