The material that the snails are moving on affects their speed. On a smooth material, (petri dish) the snails moved the fastest. On a rough material (sandpaper) the snails moved the slowest. On dirt, a compromise between smooth and rough, the snails moved at a medium pace. The material and possibly friction affect this.
Answer:C
Explanation:
When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity 
Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero
i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.
So option c is the correct choice.
Gap junctions in the intercalated discs allow impulses to be spread across the heart more quickly. This is because gap junctions allow particles/signals to pass through, thus making cells with gap junctions more able to interact.
One more thing—you posted this in the physics section rather than biology.
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Which tells us that the energy of a body will always be the same regardless of where it is located. For this case we have two points, point A and point B. Point A is located at the top at 120 [m] and point B is in the middle of the cliff at 60 [m].

The important thing about this problem is to identify the types of energy at each point. Let's take the reference level of potential energy at a height of zero meters. That is, at this point the potential energy is zero.
So at point A we have potential energy and since a velocity of 18 [m/s] is printed, we additionally have kinetic energy.

At Point B the rock is still moving downward, therefore we have kinetic energy and since it is 60 [m] with respect to the reference level we have potential energy.

Therefore we will have the following equation:
![(6.5*9.81*120)+(0.5*6.5*18^{2} )=(6.5*9.81*60)+(0.5*6.5*v_{B}^{2} )\\3.25*v_{B}^{2} =4878.9\\v_{B}=\sqrt{1501.2}\\v_{B}=38.75[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%286.5%2A9.81%2A120%29%2B%280.5%2A6.5%2A18%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%3D%286.5%2A9.81%2A60%29%2B%280.5%2A6.5%2Av_%7BB%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%5C%5C3.25%2Av_%7BB%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D4878.9%5C%5Cv_%7BB%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B1501.2%7D%5C%5Cv_%7BB%7D%3D38.75%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
The kinetic energy can be easily calculated by means of the kinetic energy equation.
![KE_{B}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v_{B}^{2}\\KE_{B}=0.5*6.5*(38.75)^{2}\\KE_{B}=4878.9[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=KE_%7BB%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2Am%2Av_%7BB%7D%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5CKE_%7BB%7D%3D0.5%2A6.5%2A%2838.75%29%5E%7B2%7D%5C%5CKE_%7BB%7D%3D4878.9%5BJ%5D)
In order to calculate the velocity at the bottom of the cliff where the reference level of potential energy (potential energy equal to zero) is located, we must pose the same equation, with the exception that at the new point there is only kinetic energy.
![E_{A}=E_{C}\\6.5*9.81*120+(0.5*9.81*18^{2} )=0.5*6.5*v_{C}^{2} \\v_{c}^{2} =\sqrt{2843.39}\\v_{c}=53.32[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7BA%7D%3DE_%7BC%7D%5C%5C6.5%2A9.81%2A120%2B%280.5%2A9.81%2A18%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%3D0.5%2A6.5%2Av_%7BC%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5Cv_%7Bc%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B2843.39%7D%5C%5Cv_%7Bc%7D%3D53.32%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
