I think this one's B. energy and work are both measured in joules.
It would be A because Decomposition is when a substance breaks down into two.

Explanation:
<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>
Density
is defined as a relation between mass
and volume
:
(1)
Where:
is the average density of the continent
is the mass of the continent
is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

Finding the mass:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the mass of the continent
<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>
Kinetic energy
is given by the following equation:
(5)
Where:
is the mass of the continent
is the velocity of the continent
(6)
(7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent
<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>
If we have a jogger with mass
and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent
, we can find its velocity by isolating
from (5):
(6)
Finally:
This is the speed of the jogger
Answer:
The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.
Explanation:
In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.
We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.
Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.
In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.
While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.
Answer:
9.875
Explanation:
w=f×s
395=40×s
make s the subject of the formula
s=395/40
=9.875
