-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.
-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.
Answer:
It traveled 4 centimeters.
Explanation:
In a speed versus time graph, the distance travelled is given by the area under the graph.
In this graph we have the following:
- The speed of the object is v = 1 cm/s between time t = 0 s and t = 4 s
- The speed of the object is v = 0 cm/s between time t = 4 s and t = 8 s
Since the speed in the second part is zero, the distance travelled in the second part is zero. So, the only distance travelled by the object is the distance travelled during the first part, which is equal to the area of the first rectangle:

Answer:
A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes
Explanation:
Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.
As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.
The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.
