B. Opposes the motion.

A marble rolling across a flat surface will not roll forever. This is due to friction. The marble rubs against the flat surface, slowing down until it finally stops.

A spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring as it stretched 0.20 m

makkiz [27]

The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by $Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2$

Data:
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m

Solving:
$Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2$
$Ep = \frac{1}{2}*20*0.20^2$
$Ep = \frac{20*0.04}{2}$
$Ep = \frac{0.8}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{Ep = 0.4\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

What is the force on a 250 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec2?

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Since it is falling freely, the only force on it is its weight, w.

w = m × g = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 Newton/N

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

$s=v_mt$ ----1

Distance traveled by Police car

$s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$

$s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}$ ----2

from 1 & 2 we get

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

$v=u+a_pt$

$v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

$v=2v_m$

(b)time taken by police car is

$t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}$

(c)Distance travel by police car $=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}$

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.

aev [14]

Explanation:

Igneous - metamorphic - sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.
