Answer:
8.75
Explanation:
First, find the force of friction.
Kinetic energy = work done by friction
½ mv² = Fd
½ (3.9 kg) (2.9 m/s)² = F (1.4 m)
F = 11.7 N
Next, find the distance at the new velocity.
Kinetic energy = work done by friction
½ mv² = Fd
½ (3.9 kg) (2.5 × 2.9 m/s)² = (11.7 N) d
d = 8.75 m
When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.
Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces.
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.
Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth. One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth. We call that force "your weight".
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you. Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !
Easy ! EVERY element and every compound melts, then boils and becomes a gas, if you heat it to a high enough temperature. That includes iron, gold, water, salt, glass, almost any substance.
A circuit is a closed circle that electricity can flow through.
