B. Friction. If the book was touching nothing, there would be no force to change its velocity given to it by the initial push. Because the book is sliding across the table, the molecules in the table are "slowing down" the book because they are exerting the force of friction on the book. What happens is that the charges in the book's molecules are attracted to the charges in the table's molecules. The attracting force is in the negative direction, causing the book to experience friction and therefore slow down.

A. inertia 

Because it has to do with the motion of something, especially if it changes its pace. In this example, the book's motion, when sliding on the table, decreased because of less force being given off from the student.

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza
Andreyy89
In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same
QveST [7]
In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho
kap26 [50]
So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)
