The answer is A. Further apart and move faster.
Conduction in general is the transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through DIRECT CONTACT. In solids and liquids, the molecules are closer to each other; more so in solids than liquids. This enables them to pass energy more quickly. Gas molecules on the other hand are further apart and move faster because they have space to move more freely. Energy does not easily pass on to the next molecule because of the distance between the molecules.
As per above given data
initial velocity = 19.3 km/s
final velocity = - 18.8 km/s
now in order to find the change in velocity
Part b)
Now we need to find acceleration
acceleration is given by formula
given that
now the acceleration is given as
so above is the acceleration
This would make it quantitative
City 4 because it is closer to the equator
