Because the motion of the molecules slow down
serg [7]4 years ago

The correct answer of this question is : Molecular motion or vibration slows down

EXPLANATION :

The kinetic energy of the molecule depends on the molecular motion. Molecules might have different types of kinetic energy depending on the type of substance i.e solid,liquid or gases.

During cooling, we are reducing the temperature of the substance. Due to the decrease of temperature, the molecular speed is also decreased. It is so because the molecular speed is dependent on the temperature of the substance.

Hence, the vibration, rotation or translation motion of the molecule slows down during cooling, which in turn, decreases the kinetic energy of the molecule.

The things that determine the amount of an object's gravitational potential energy are ...

-- mass of the object

-- gravitational acceleration in the place where the object is

-- height of the object above the ground or the floor

A). <em>a slice of bread; </em> No.  It's still a slice of bread even if it's on the ground.

B. <em>A compressed spring; </em> No.  It's still a compressed spring even if it's on the ground.

C. <em>An apple on a tree</em>; <em>Yes !</em>  It can't be an apple on a tree if it's on the ground.  

D. <em>A stretched bow string</em>; <em>No.</em>  It's still a stretched bowstring even if it's on the ground.

The diagram below represents a horizontal force of 20 newtons applied to a 5.0 kilogram box to push it and
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box:

- The force of push, F, forward, of magnitude F = 20 N

- The force of friction, F_f, backward

So, the equation of motion for the box is

F-F_f = ma

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

The box is sliding at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero

a = 0

So, the equation becomes

F-F_f = 0

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the force of friction:

F_f = F =  20 N

?<br> What does the number, or density, of field lines on a source charge indicate?
Alenkinab [10]
The density of field lines on a source charge indicates the strength of the charge there is. The field lines all represent the movements of field charges. Naturally, if there are a large number of them compressed in an area, then that would mean the charge at that certain point is strong
