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.

Use evidence to explain why glass refracted more light than air or water
agasfer [191]

Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.      

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

Do magnets have to touch each other in order to experience a magnetic<br> force? Explain
tiny-mole [99]
Magnets don’t need to touch each other in order to be magnetic because all objects have an attraction however, the closer the magnets get, the more magnetic it is.

If a ball is thrown vertically upward from the roof of 64 foot building with a velocity of 96 ft/sec, then what is the maximum h
masya89 [10]
The height function would be s(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 32.

Maximum height ---> set s'(t) = 0.

-32t + 64 = 0. ---> t = 2. s(2) = -16(2)^2 + 64(2) + 32 = the maximum height is 96 feet.

To find the velocity when it hits the ground, set s(t) = 0.

-16t^2 + 64t + 32 = 0. Divide by -16.

t^2 - 4t - 2 = 0. The only positive solution is x = 4.45.

s'(4.45) = -32(4.45) + 64 = It's going -78.4 feet/second when it hits the ground.
