Answer:

a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

Explanation:

Since the tension in the rope, t is greater than the kinetic friction fk, the box is moving forward because there is a net force on it. That is, t - fk = f = ma.

Since there is a net force, there is an acceleration and thus an increasing velocity.

When the rope breaks, the tension, t = 0. So, t - fk = 0 - fk = -fk = ma'.

Now, the net force acting on the box is friction in the opposite direction. This force tends to slow the box down from its initial velocity at acceleration, 'a' until its velocity is zero, where it stops. Since the frictional force is constant, the acceleration, a' on the box is thus constant and the box undergoes uniform deceleration until its velocity is zero.

<u>So, the box keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.</u>

So, the answer is a.

Determine the vector perpendicular to the plane of A= 31+ 6j - 2k and B=4i-j +3k
Sliva [168]

The vector perpendicular to the plane of A = 3i+ 6j - 2k and B = 4i-j +3k is 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Let r be the vector perpendicular to A and B,

r = A * B

A = 3i + 6j - 2k

B = 4i - j + 3k

a1 = 3

a2 = 6

a3 = - 2

b1 = 4

b2 = - 1

b3 = 3

a * b = ( a2 b3 - b2 a3 ) i + ( a3 b1 - b3 a1 ) j + ( a1 b2 - b1 a2 ) k

a * b = [ ( 6 * 3 ) - ( - 1 * - 2 ) ] i + [ ( - 2 * 4 ) - ( 3 * 3 ) ] j + [ ( 3 * - 1 ) - ( 4 * 6 ) ] k

a * b = 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

The perpendicular vector, r = 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Therefore, the vector perpendicular to the plane of A = 3i + 6j - 2k and B = 4i - j + 3k is 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Match these terms with the correct examples.
posledela
1. liquid solution to a. oceans
2. gaseous solution to b. clouds
Not sure about 3 and 4.
3 might be oxygen but I think that's 5. element.

Hope this helps, not sure about water and air though.
