A.

Newton's first law. When the bus starts, Shelly is still at rest so she resists motion. (When the bus stops, she'll jolt forward)

Answer: A. The inertia of Shelly

Explanation:

We know from Newton's first law that an object does not changes its state of rest or motion until an unbalanced external force exerts on it. This is also known as law of inertia. Initially Shelly and school bus are in rest state. when the driver starts the school bus and moves forward, Shelly experiences a backward jolt. This is because initially Shelly was in rest state but the bus started moving so she would feel a backward pseudo force.

A motorbike accelerates from 15m/s to 25m/s in 15 seconds.
RSB [31]

distance traveled by a uniformly accelerated bike is given as

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} (t)

here we know that

v_f = 25 m/s

v_i = 15 m/s

t = 15 s

now we will have from above equation

d = \frac{15 + 25}{2} (15)

d = 20 (15) = 300 m

so it will cover the total distance of 300 m

How are metal bridges built to cope with changes of temperature?
nirvana33 [79]
As the metal expands as does the road bed so neither really effevts those foing over the bridge. as it is hot the metal will expand and so will most tarmac on roads.

An object attached to a horizontal spring is oscillating back and forth along a frictionless surface. the maximum speed of the o
Andreas93 [3]
<span>First of all, the maximum speed occurs when the object passes through the
 equilibrium position

The kinetic energy when the object has this max speed is

K= 1/2 * mass * (1.25 m/s)^2

The potential energy in the spring when the speed is equal to zero

U= 1/2 * k * xmax^2

The maximun force of the spring is

mass*acceleration = k*xmax

m * 6.89 m/s2 = k * xmax
xmax = 6.89* m / k

0.5 * m * 1.56  = 0.5 * k * xmax^2

11) Which statement about covalent bonds is true? A) Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they form full
Cerrena [4.2K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they overlap electrons to fill their outer shell.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Covalent bond is a type of bond that results from the sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Ionic bond on the other is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metal atoms and non metal atoms, where a metal atom looses electrons and a non-metal atom gains electrons.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The amount of energy required to break an given bond determines how strong a particular bond is.</u></em> Ionic bonds require more energy to break as compared to covalent bond and therefore they are stronger than the covalent bonds.
