A group of students is investigating whether the smoothness of surface affects the force of friction. Each student pushes a book

on two different surfaces. One surface is ice and the other is concrete. The distance traveled by the book on each surface is shown. Experimental Observations Student 1 Student 2 Student 3 Student 4 Distance traveled by book on ice 23 cm 21 cm 24 cm 22 cm Distance traveled by book on concrete 15 cm 18 cm 16 cm 17 cm Based on the table, which conclusion is correct about the average distance traveled?

To find the average (aka mean) of a group of numbers, all we need to do is add them up then divide that number by how many numbers we started with

23 + 21 + 24 + 22 = 90

90 ÷ 4 = 22.5

Therefore, the average distance the book traveled on ice is 22.5 cm

15 + 18 + 16 + 17 = 66

66 ÷ 4 = 16.5

Therefore, the average distance the book traveled on concrete is 16.5 cm

In conclusion, the average distance the book traveled on ice is greater than the average distance the book traveled on concrete

Hope this helps you

A motorist enters a freeway at 45 km/h and accelerates uniformly to 99 km/h. From the odometer in the car, the motorist knows th
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a)  19440 km/h²

b) 10 sec

Explanation:

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 45 km/h

v = final velocity achieved by the car = 99 km/h

d = distance traveled by the car while accelerating = 0.2 km

a = acceleration of the car

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

99² = 45² + 2 a (0.2)

a = 19440 km/h²

b)

t = time required to reach the final velocity

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

99 = 45 + (19440) t

t = 0.00278 h

t = 0.00278 x 3600 sec

t = 10 sec

This is the constructive or destructive overlap of waves.
natima [27]
Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium.

Alternators are installed on automobiles to power things like the lights and the radio. Which kind of device is an alternator? A
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

A. Generator

Explanation:

An alternator which is also called a generator basically converts mechanical energy into electric energy.

An alternator is used in a vehicle to charge the battery. It supplies electric power to the automobile.It is attached to the engine and is driven by a belt system . When the alternator does not charge the battery, it can be understood that it is not working as it no longer recharges the battery, though the engine of the automobile runs.

kirill [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Change is momentum can be described as the change in the product of mass and velocity of a body. Every moving object as a momentum and the higher the momentum of this object, the harder it is to stop. Impulse (a force), which is sometimes used to describe change in momentum can be described as the product as force multiplied by time.

From the description above, it can be deduced that an increase in impulse can lead to a greater change in momentum. And an increase in impulse can be brought about by an increase in the time it takes a body to be brought to rest after collision. And since the car that hit the water barrels was brought to rest at a longer time, it has a greater change in momentum
