If you are not considering friction, the energy must be the same, therefore, kinetic energy will be constant.

If an object whose mass is growing keeps the same, unchanged
kinetic energy, then its motion must slow down, because

        Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.

The graph shows projected changes in the populations of the world.
malfutka [58]

Answer: C. Africa

Explanation:

The data given on the graph shows that:

Asia will grow from around 1,300 million to 5,000 million in 2050 which is an increase of:

= 5,000 /1,300 = 3.84 times

Europe will decrease over that period.

Africa will go from around 300 million to 2,000 million which is an increase of:

= 2,000 / 300

= 6.67 times

Mexico

, Central America, Caribbean Islands:

= 900 / 120

= 7.5 times

United States,  Canada, and Greenland:

= 400/120

= 3.33

Oceania:

= 50 / 13

= 3.85

From the options give, Africa will see the greatest increase at 6.67 times its population in 1950.

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude? A. The fina
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. The final kinetic energy is equal to the initial potential energy.

Explanation:

Based on the Principle of energy conservation:

Sum of the Initial Energy = Sum of the Final Energy

Initial Kinetic Energy + Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy + Final Potential Energy..........(1)

Since according to the question:

Initial Kinetic Energy = 0

Final Potential Energy = 0

The equation (1) above reduces to

Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy
