<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Cohesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type.

<h2>Adhesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of different type by intermolecular forces.

A good example of both is water that can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds (cohesion) and can also stick to a glass due to adhesion.

So, while Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, Adhesion is the interaction between the surfaces of different bodies.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a

Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}$

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.

One ball is dropped vertically from a window. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown horizontally from the same window.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The second ball

Explanation:

Both balls are under the effect of gravity, accelerating with exactly the same value. The first ball is dropped, therefore its initial velocity is zero. Since the second ball has horizontal and vertical velocity components, its initial velocity is given by:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

The vertical component is zero, however, it has a horizontal velocity, so its initial speed is not zero, therefore the secong ball has the greater speed at ground level.
