B. The resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross sectional area
Answer: 1.289 m
Explanation:
The path the cobra's venom follows since it is spitted until it hits the ground, is described by a parabola. Hence, the equations for parabolic motion (which has two components) can be applied to solve this problem:
<u>x-component:
</u>
(1)
Where:
is the horizontal distance traveled by the venom
is the venom's initial speed
is the angle
is the time since the venom is spitted until it hits the ground
<u>y-component:
</u>
(2)
Where:
is the initial height of the venom
is the final height of the venom (when it finally hits the ground)
is the acceleration due gravity
Let's begin with (2) to find the time it takes the complete path:
(3)
Rewritting (3):
(4)
This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form 
, which can be solved with the following formula:
(5)
Where:
Substituting the known values:
(6)
Solving (6) we find the positive result is:
(7)
Substituting (7) in (1):
(8)
We finally find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom:
Answer:
C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added
Explanation:
The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.
- Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
- As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
- They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
- Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
- Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
- This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas
