A particle moving in the x direction is being acted upon by a net force f(x)=cx2, for some constant

The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done on the particle:
$\Delta K = W$
The work done on the particle is the integral of the force on dx:
$W= \int\limits^{3L}_L {F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^{3L}_L {cx^2} \, dx = \frac{26}{3}cL^3$
So, this corresponds to the change in kinetic energy of the particle.

As a box is pushed 30 meters across a horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force of 25 newtons, the kinetic energy of the b

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1,050 Joules

Explanation:

Step 1: work done in moving the box 30 meters

work done = force X distance

= 25N X 30 = 750 Joules

Step 2: calculate total internal energy

Total internal energy = work done + kinetic energy

= 750 Joules + 300 Joules

= 1,050 Joules = 1.05 KJ

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?

azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

Explanation:

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

One student did an experiment on the rock cycle.

Nonamiya [84]

First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.

Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)

Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Based on the above, the best choice would be:
d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
