Having a vacuum prevents conduction from occurring completely bc there are no molecules to transfer the heat...since air is a poor conductor of heat, having trapped air in the sponge and hollow plastic stopper help prevent heat loss by conduction

<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

efficiency =   \frac{useful \: work \: done}{total \: energy \: input}

800 / 1000 = 0.8

Efficiency = 0.8 *100 = 80%

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 17,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.01606 Newtons

Explanation:

r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m

m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Newton's Universal law of gravity

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{8.7\times 10^{20}\times 80}{17000000^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.01606\ N

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons
