That statement describes both the snail's velocity AND acceleration.

-- "rate", "northerly" . . . speed and direction ==> velocity

-- "constant rate" . . . zero acceleration

An electromagnet on the ceiling of an airplane holds a steel ball. When a button is pushed, the magnet releases the ball. The ex
blagie [28]

Answer:

The ball will fall on the X .

Explanation:

At height,  when the aeroplane is in great speed , everything attached with it acquires the same speed . So ball will also have the same speed as the aeroplane have. When ball  starts falling off , it gets detached from plane but , at the same time it continues to travel with its earlier speed , because of inertia of motion. So it remains stationary with respect to plane in horizontal direction . It has velocity with respect to plane only in vertical direction. Hence it will fall on the X. It is due to first law of motion.

How would you compare and contrast the 3 types of friction?
vlabodo [156]
Rolling friction .<span> the force that slows down the movement of a rolling object</span>
sliding friction.
Sliding friction : The opposing force that comes into play when one body is actually sliding over the surface of the other body is called sliding friction. e.g. A flat block is moving over a horizontal table.

Kinetic or dynamic friction: If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in motion, the friction opposing the motion is called kinetic friction

Which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two objects of equal temperature?
maks197457 [2]
<span>Actually the second law of thermodynamics would truly gets violated ie, which means that the entrophy changes of the isolated system can never be negative, which covers the above that if heat were to spontaneously flow between any two objects of equal temperature would be fully violated.</span>

Can someone explain to me #4.
nalin [4]
A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.
