Well because it has momentum and it needs to be slowed down.

There isn't an unbalanced force that can stop something instantly.
The object must be decelerated, due to the momentum a moving object is carrying with it.

<span>Generally speaking, the level of molecular motion is highest in gases, where molecules move around freely in space, bouncing off of each other, and lowest in solids, where molecules are bound together in a rigid structure. As such, the answer would be A; "the molecules in air move more than the molecules in wood".</span>

Timed! I would really appreciate some help! thank you!
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

v=x/t

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]

the pygmy shrew has an average mass of 2.0 g if 49 of these shrew are placed on a spring scale with a spring constant of 24 N/m
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

x = \frac {-nmg}{k}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}

x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.
