It does in the winter and keeps the heat in. During the summer it keeps in the cold air and keeps out the heat.

There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

Answer:

The velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground is approximately 49.3 m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground, we recall the kinematic equation of motion, v² = u² + 2·g·h, where the variables of the equation are defined as follows;

v = The velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground after it is pushed off the observation deck

u = The initial velocity of the nickel just before it is pushed off the observation deck = 0 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which he nickel is pushed off the edge = 124 m

Substituting the given values and the constant, "g", we have;

v² = 0² + 2 × 9.8 × 124 = 2,430.4

v = √2,430.4

Using a graphing calculator, we have;

v = √2,430.4 = 14·√(62/5) ≈ 49.3

The velocity of the nickel just before it hits the ground = v ≈ 49.3 m/s.

The higher the value of the coefficient of friction, the _______ the resistance to sliding.
Tom [10]
<span>The higher the value of the coefficient of friction, the more the resistance to sliding.  The answer is the more the resistance to sliding.  The</span> coefficient of friction<span> is a measure of how easily one object moves over another object. It is a ratio of: Force to move the object / weight of the object (or Normal Force)</span>

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

<u>Assuming</u> the 20° is angle θ measured to the horizontal

mgsinθ - μmgcosθ = ma

g(sinθ - μcosθ) = a

at constant velocity, a = 0

g(sinθ - μcosθ) = 0

   sinθ - μcosθ = 0

                 sinθ = μcosθ

μ = sinθ/cosθ

μ = tanθ

μ = tan20

μ = 0.3639702342...

μ = 0.36
