Answer:

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion. The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops. The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

A 400 gram sample of alcohol at 10o C [Ca=2.64 J/g*oC] is mixed with 400 grams of warm water [Cw=4.186 J/g*Co] at 88o C. Assume
alukav5142 [94]
The heat lost by the water will be equivalent to the energy gained by the alcohol. Thus:
maCaΔT = -mwCwΔT
400 x 2.64 x (T - 10) = 400 x 4.186 x (88 - T)
T = 57.8 °C

What happens to ar object in free fall?​
Inessa05 [86]
Energy from the gravitational potential store in converted to kinetic energy. Air friction acts against the object, dissipating some energy as heat or sound. The object will continuously accelerate until the acceleration is equal to the air friction acting against it. This is when it reaches terminal velocity
