electric forces can act at a distance.

When Jim walked across the carpeted floor, his body gained electrons from the carpet. The presence of these electrons generated a force between his finger and the doorknob. Since he did not need to actually touch the doorknob for the electrons to be pulled from his finger, this demonstrates that electric forces can act at a distance.

a particle moves along the x axis with an acceleration of a=18t, where a has units if m/s2. if the particle at time t=0 is at th
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

 Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

Explanation:

 It is given that acceleration, a = 18 t, where t is the time.

 We know that Velocity, v = \int { a} \, dt

  Substituting value of a,

           Velocity, v = \int {18t} \, dt=\frac{18t^2}{2} +c=9t^2+c

 We know that at t = 0, v = -12 m/s

         So, 9*0^2+c=-12\\ \\ c=-12m/s

So velocity, v = (9t^2-12)m/s

  We also know that displacement, x = \int { v} \, dt

     Substituting value of v,  

        Displacement, x=\int {(9t^2-12)} \, dt=\frac{9t^3}{3} -12t+c=3t^3-12t+c

  We know that at t = 0, particle is at origin, x =0.

               So,  0=3*0^3-12*0+c\\ \\ c=0

   Displacement, x = 3t^3-12t

At t = 4 seconds

   x = 3*4^3-12*4=192--48=144m

Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant sp
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:C

Explanation:

When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity v_0

Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero

i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.

So option c is the correct choice.

Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1 percent

Explanation:

It says that only 3 percent of the water is fresh. So it can be 1 percent or 3 percent. But then it says that most of the water is locked up in glaciers and polar ice caps. So the animals would have a hard time getting to this water. So the rest is available for them. Approximately 1 percent is most reasonable.

The energy stored in a wooden log transforms when the log is burned. Which of the following explanations BEST describes how the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.
