Gravity is an example of friction.  If we didn't have gravity, we would be flying all over the place.  Also, friction keeps us from sliding on the ground and falling.

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

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

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Know the monosaccharides, the disaccharides and the polysaccharides. Know the hormones involved in glucose regulation.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates which are called as single sugars. These are the building blocks of bigger carbohydrates.

Disaccharides are the sugars that are formed when two monosaccharides combine together by glycosidic bonds.

Polysaccharides are the long chains of carbohydrate molecules. These are formed by the monosaccharide units bonded by the glycosidic linkages.

The insulin and glucagon are the two hormones secreted by the pancreas that regulate the blood glucose levels. Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of pancreas. It is secreted when the blood glucose level is high. Glucagon is secreted by the beta cells of pancreas when the blood glucose level is low.
