Answer:
B) Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.
For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:
where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.
In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is
where 
is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Answer:
64 J
Explanation:
The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.
Now W = ∫F.dx
So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)
∆U = - ∫-Fdx
= ∫F.dx
Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U = ∫₀²F.dx
= ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx
= ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)
= ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)
= ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)
= [20x² - 2x³]₀²
= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)
= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))
= [80 - 16 - 0]
= 64 J
False
Balanced forces mean that there is no net force acting on the object. therefore, the object will not accelerate.
