The correct answer to the question is - A) Object's kinetic energy is transformed into mainly heat energy.

EXPLANATION:

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two surfaces when there is a relative velocity between them.

As per the question, the moving object comes to rest after the application of frictional force.

Initially the object is in motion.Hence, the energy possessed by the moving object is kinetic energy.

When frictional force is applied on the moving object, the kinetic energy of the moving object will be converted into mainly heat energy. It is due to the fact that friction causes heat production between two surfaces in contact.

Hence, correct option will be that the object's kinetic energy is transformed into mainly heat energy.

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 6 km/s and a frequency of 13 Hz?
PtichkaEL [24]
Velocity can be calculated using the following rule:
velocity = lambda * frequency where:
velocity is given = 6 km/sec
lambda is the wavelength that we want to calculate
frequency is given = 13 Hz

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the wavelength (lambda) as follows:
6 = 13*lambda
wavelength = 6/13 = 0.461538 Km = 461.538 meters

Starting from rest, a runner at a track meet reaches a speed of 7.5 m/s in 1.7 s. How far does she run during this time, assumin
Alex17521 [72]
For this problem, we use the equations derived for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
x = v₀t + 0.5at²
where
a is acceleration
v and v₀ are the final and initial velocities, respectively
x is the distance
t is the time

First, let's determine the a to be used in the second equation:

a = (7.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/1.7 s = 4.411 m/s²
x = (0)(1.7s) + 0.5(4.411 m/s²)(1.7 s)²
x = 6.375 m
