Answer:
The 1st Answer
Explanation:
Because kinetic energy is the energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. So if the velocity of the object (cannonball in this case) decreases than so would the kinetic energy
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
175s
Explanation:
time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum
C=light speed=299792458m/s
X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m
c=X/t
T1=X/c
T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s
time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:
First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index
Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s
T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s
additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth
ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s
 
        
             
        
        
        
<span>In the desert environment the chemical weathering of rocks is generally reduced because there is a lack of rain, in which most chemical weathering is caused by. No rain, no chemicals, no chemical weathering.</span>
        
             
        
        
        
Explanation:
Work = force × displacement
532 J = 48 N × d
d ≈ 11 m
