I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

here λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength .............1

frequency = $\frac{340}{2}$

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

a football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s2. How much force did

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

6.216 N

Explanation:

As for Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

where F= the acting force

m=subjected mass

a= the acceleration

applying F=ma to the football

F=m*a

=0.42*14.8

=6.216 N

6.216 N of a force is supplied to the ball

kirza4 [7]

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?

Which statement is true about crystal lattice energy?

irinina [24]

The answer is:

It is a measure of the strength of the bonds between ions.

Lattice energy is an estimate of the strength of the bonds formed by ionic compounds.

The first two choices are wrong because it is actually the opposite.

As the ion size increases, lattice energy <u>decreases</u>.

As charge of ions increases, lattice energy <u>increases</u>

As for the other third option, it is wrong because lattice energy is the energy RELEASED not absorbed.
