The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5

m. "How long in seconds did it take for the box to slow by this amount, assuming the acceleration is constant?"

Answer:

0.68 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of box=u=13m/s

Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s

Distance=d=8.5 m

We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Substitute the values

(11.5)^2-(13)^2=2a(8.5)

132.25-169=17a

-36.75=17a

a=\frac{-36.75}{17}=-2.2m/s^2

We know that

Acceleration=a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Substitute the values

-2.2=\frac{11.5-13}{t}

-2.2=\frac{-1.5}{t}

t=\frac{1.5}{2.2}=0.68 s

Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s

Yeast breaking down starch into usable energy ____________ law of thermodynamics.
Anon25 [30]
<span>First law of thermodynamics. This conservation law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. In essence, energy is always conserved but can be converted from one form into another. Like when an engine burns fuel, it converts the energy stored in the fuel's chemical bonds into useful mechanical energy and then into heat, or more specifically, the melting ice cubes. Yeast breaks down maltose into glucose to produce alcohol and Co2 in the fermentation process. This is a prime example of the 1st law of thermodynamics. No form of usable energy is really lost; it only changes from one form to another</span>

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.
