Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

Additional Information :

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

number of molecules in the object
temperature of the object.
thermal energy it has.

A 14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 490 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 63.0°-angle with the horizontal.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

length of ladder $r_L = 14m$

weight of ladder $F_L = 490N$

position of firefighter $r_F = 3.8m$

weight of firefighter $F_F = 820N$

angle of ladder $\alpha = 63$

Unknown:

force of the wall on the ladder $F_W$

force of friction on base of ladder $F_R$

normal force on base of ladder $F_N$

From the free body diagram of the sketch you get 3 equations:

$F_x = ma_x = F_W - F_R = 0\\ F_y = ma_y = F_N - F_F - F_L = 0\\ \tau _P = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F} = r_FF_Fcos\alpha + \frac{1}{2}r_LF_Lcos\alpha - r_LF_Wsin\alpha = 0$

Solving the equations gives:

$F_W = F_R\\ F_N = F_F + F_L\\ F_W = \frac{r_FF_F + 0.5r_LF_L}{r_L tan\alpha}$

$F_R = 238N\\ F_N = 1310N$

$F_R = \mu F_N\\ \mu = \frac{F_R}{F_N} \\ \mu = 0.3$

c) Using the result from b and solving for $r_F$

$\\ \mu = 0.15\\ F_R = \mu F_N\\ r_F = 2.4m$

3-6 seconds time interval is the object slowing down.

The correct option is C.

<h3>What is a time interval?</h3>

The time interval is the span of time among two specified times. To put it another way, it is the amount of time that has passed between the event's start and finish.

<h3>What are different time intervals?</h3>

The time interval is the length of time that the aim uses to gather data and determine values. The critical overview can be one or more seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. The period must be greater than zero and positive. When providing minutes, the amount of minutes must divide evenly by 60.

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.

leonid [27]

The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m
