Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

In the given problem, a basketball rolls to a stop along a gym floor without anyone touching it.

The basketball stops own its own because of the force of friction. Friction is a force which opposes the motion of the object. The direction of the force of friction is in an opposite direction to the motion of the object.

The frictional force will act between the basket ball and the floor.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Suppose that the electric field in the Earth's atmosphere is E = 8.60 101 N/C, pointing downward. Determine the electric charge
asambeis [7]

Answer:

q = 3.87 x 10⁵ C

Explanation:

given,

Electric field, E = 8.60 x 10¹ = 86 N/C

radius of earth, R = 6371 Km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m

Coulomb constant, K = 9 x 10⁹ N · m²/C²

Charge on the earth = ?

the electric field at the point

E =\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

q =\dfrac{Er^2}{k}

inserting all the values

q =\dfrac{86\times (6.371\times 10^6)^2}{9\times 10^{9}}

      q = 3.87 x 10⁵ C

The electric charge on the earth is equal to 3.87 x 10⁵ C

What is the velocity of an object with a kinetic energy of 800 J and a mass of 12 kg?
Elis [28]

K.E = 1/2 mv²

800 = 1/2 ×12 ×v²

800 =  6 v²

800 / 6  =  v²

=   133.4    =v²

√133.4  =   √v²

11.5   =  v²

I hope this answer is correct.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".
