<span>The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.</span>

Diana observed that the plants in her garden were not growing well due to poor soil conditions. She tested the soil and used the
n200080 [17]
The appropriate answer is c. silty clay loam. This is the most likely soil that was present in the garden before sand was added to balance it. This type of soil contains an even mix of silt and clay. This type of soil does not drain well and tends to hold water. This would not be suitable for most garden variety plants. Adding sand to the soil ensures better drainage and removes moisture that would rot roots or create conditions for fungi to develop.

One end of a 7-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 5.4 kg mass is hung from the other end, the spring is stretched
mash [69]

Answer:

2.63 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

Making c the subject of the formula then

c=\frac {F}{y}

Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930

By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm
