Thermal energy comes from the ,movement of particles which produces heat, the faster the movement is the more heat
Answer:
A) and B) are correct.
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now
The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE
The equivalent capacitance is going to be: 
And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE
And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE
Answer:
8.61 min
Explanation:
original mass= 12.65
first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325
second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625
Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it
total time for decay =17.22
therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61
In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:

Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.
The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.
So, drawing the diagram, we have:
