Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

As a girl pushes an object across a wood floor, she suddenly comes to an area where the floor has been waxed recently, making it slippery. What becomes true of the coefficient of kinetic friction? A. The coefficient of kinetic friction increases. B. The coefficient of kinetic friction decreases. C. The coefficient of kinetic friction becomes zero. D. The coefficient of kinetic friction becomes negative.

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Coefficient of kinetic friction can be defined as the frictional force resisted by the motion of an object. From the question, it might take the girl to apply a force equivalent to just half that of the weight of the object to overcome friction to keep the object moving on a wood floor. Once she gets to the waxed area, the frictional force reduces, thereby also reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction further. Thus, she will be able to use less than half of the force (equivalent to less than half of the weight of the object) to push the object.

Thus, the correct option is B.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

53.125m

Explanation:

The displacement of the car, denoted by S, can be calculated using the formula:

S = ut + 1/2at²

Where;

u = initial velocity/speed (m/s)

t = time (s)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

According to the information provided in this question, u = 10m/s, t = 5s, a = 0.25m/s², S = ?

S = ut + 1/2at²

S = (10 × 5) + 1/2 (0.25 × 5²)

S = 50 + 1/2 (0.25 × 25)

S = 50 + 1/2(6.25)

S = 50 + 3.125

S = 53.125m

kherson [118]
When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure it changes into METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Heat and pressure have the capacity to change a rock into a completely new type of rock. An igneous rock or a sedimentary rock can be changed into a metamorphic rock as a result of heat and pressure which the rock is subjected to. Metamorphic rocks are usually formed from already existing rocks that are exposed to pressure and heat.
