Answer:

B

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are touching. Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.

In chemical reactions, energy is absorbed or released in the form of:
disa [49]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Because chemical energy is stored, it is a form of potential energy. When a chemical reaction takes place, the stored chemical energy is released. Heat is often produced as a by-product of a chemical reaction – this is called an exothermic reaction.

Hope this helped.

Since there are no aurora observed on Venus we can conclude that Venus a. lacks atmospheric oxygen b. is too hot for magnetic fo
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Yes, Venus does not have the same magnetic field as that of earth's  

Explanation:

Instead, there are solar wind particles that can deeply penetrate the venus atmosphere and can collide with the other carbon atoms already present in the air but lacks oxygen and thus does not have that strong magnetic field which would deflect the suns rays and create aurora in the sky at night.

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.00 ✕ 105 kg on springs that ha
jasenka [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m=4\times 10^5\ kg

(a) Time period of oscillation, T = 2.4 s

The formula for the time period of spring is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

Where

k is the force constant

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 \times 4\times 10^5}{(2.4)^2}

k=2.74\times 10^6\ N/m

(b) Displacement in the spring, x = 2.2 m

Energy stored in the spring is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.74\times 10^6\ N/m\times (2.2\ m)^2

U=6.63\times 10^6\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.
