(A) -2Kx
(B) -Kx
(C) -Kx/2
(D) Kx/2
(E) 2Kx

2) Satellite x is moved to the same orbit as satellite Y by a force doing work on the satellite. In terms of Kx, the work done on satellite X by the force is
(A) -Kx/2
(B) -Kx/4
(C) 0
(D) +Kx/4

Why should a glass slide and a coverslip be held by the edges?
AleksAgata [21]
THIS IS NOT THE EXACT ANSWER BUT IT MIGHT HELP
The cover slips serves two purposes: (1) it protects the microscope's objective lens from contacting the specimen, and (2) it creates an even thickness (in wet mounts) for viewing.

What's the difference between heat and temperature?​
Anestetic [448]
Heat and Temperature are physical properties of a body. While heat is a form of energy, temperature is a measure of how hot a body is. Temperature is directly proportional to the heat of the body, so when heat is introduced, the temperature of the body increases. Hope this helped!

A girl pulls her younger brother on a sled along a flat sidewalk (the total mass of the sled is 30kg). A frictional force of 50N
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

6.13 s

219 N

Explanation:

Newton's law in the x direction:

∑F = ma

150 cos 30° N − 50 N = (30 kg) a

a = 2.66 m/s²

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(50 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (2.66 m/s²) t²

t = 6.13 s

Newton's law in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + 150 sin 30° N − (30 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 0

Fn = 219 N
