Answer:

(D) 96 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Let's start off by first calculating the normal force between the box and the floor.

This will be:

Normal Force = 12 * 9.81 = 117.72 N

We can now use the friction equation to find the frictional force on the box when it is moving:

Frictional force = Coefficient of friction * Normal Force

Frictional force = 0.4 * 117.72 = 47.09 N

Finally, since we have the force on the box, we can find the acceleration:

F = Mass * Acceleration

47.09 = 12 * Acceleration

Acceleration = 3.92 m/s^2

Final speed after 2 seconds:

V=U+a*t

V = 4 +(-3.92)*(2)

V= -3.84 m/s

Since we know the initial and final speeds, we can calculate the change in momentum:

Change in momentum = Final Momentum - Initial Momentum

Change in momentum = 3.84*12-(-4)*12

Change in momentum = 94.08 kg*m/s

Thus we can see that option (D) is the closest answer.

ryan hypothesizes that darker colors heat up faster. he places a thermometer inside a red wool sock, a green cotton glove, and a
telo118 [61]
Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it  true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.
