You apply a horizontal force of 200N against a 50kg couch. The force of friction between the couch and the floor is 180N. If the

couch is pushed 2 metres, the kinetic energy gained by the couch is: a) 0 b) 40 J c) 100 J d) 360 J e) 400 J

Answer:

The kinetic energy gained is 40[J]

Explanation:

This is a problem that applies the work and energy conservation. We must analyze the initial and final positions as well as the forces that act on the couch during displacement.

The working and energy conservation theorem says:

E_{k1} + W_{1-2}= E_{k2}

The above equation tells us that kinetic energy plus the work done to move an object from one position to another will be equal to kinetic energy in the last position.

The kinetic energy in the initial position is zero since the couch is at rest, Ek1=0

The work will be given by the force that drives the couch multiplied by the distance, and the friction force that acts in the opposite direction to the displacement.

0+(200-180)*2= Ek2\\Ek2=20*2= 40 [J]

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere
dalvyx [7]
There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity

Explain what the star looks like to Jane
S_A_V [24]
The star looks like a desirable hunk of masculinity to Jane. But to John, the star looks like a wimpy momma's boy who might compete with him for Jane's attention. Jane and John have different impressions of the star because of their gender-specific instincts that have evolved during thousands of millenia of human evolution.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

X-rays go all the way through the body, but ultraviolet rays do not.

Explanation:

An x-ray will show inside the body, but uv light isn't strong enough to go all the way through the body.

How are meteors and meteorites different?
konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
