Answer:

D) wood rubbed against a rough surface feels hot

Explanation:

The heat is transferred from one form of energy (friction of the wood being rubbed against the surface) to another (heat energy).

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

One solution to minimize resonance with buildings is to ______ the width to span ratio.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs when a body A in motion set another body B into motion of it own natural frequency. So for resonance to be minimize in a body is to increase the width to span ratio. So as to reduce the overall vibration which affects directly building resonance, the stiffness or trusses and girders should be increase. The increase in this aspect helps to reinforce building structure and support.

On his way off to college, Russell drags his suitcase 19 m from the door of his house to the car at a constant speed with a hori
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 1691 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The force on the suitcase is, F  = 89 N

The distance Russell dragged the suitcase, S = 19 m

The work done on the suitcase by Russell is equal to the work done on the suitcase to overcome the friction

The work done on the suitcase by Russell is given by the formula

                          W = F · S

Substituting the given values,

                           W = 89 N x 19 m

                           W = 1691 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 1691 J
