Answer: When you squeeze a mattress, and you release it, you can see that return to the original shape. So, when you are squeezing it, the mattress "want" to return to the original shape. The mattress does it by storing elastic energy, and when you stop squeezing it, uses the elastic energy to return to the original shape.

so the energy stored is elastic energy.

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

A student pushes on a 8-kg box with a force of 35 N forward. The force of sliding friction is 10 N backward. What is the acceler
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for Force is:

Force = Mass*Acceleration

(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)

Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)

We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.

= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg

The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.

= 25 N/8kg

= 3.125 m/s^2

Hope it helps :DD

1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change
Verdich [7]
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together
