For two objects in space with very different masses, the gravitational force causes:
A. no net force since the equal but opposite forces cancel each other
out.
B. a force in a constant direction that acts only on the larger of the
two masses.
C. a force that makes the more-massive object orbit the less-
massive one.
D. a force that makes the less-massive object orbit the more-massive
one.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

Asilver dollar is dropped from the top of a building that is 1324 feet tall. use the position function below for free-falling objects. s(t) = −16t2 + v0t + s0 (a) determine the position and velocity functions for the coin. s(t) = v(t) = (b) determine the average velocity on the interval [1, 2]. ft/s (c) find the instantaneous velocities when t = 1 second and t = 2 seconds. v(1) = ft/s v(2) = ft/s (d) find the time required for the coin to reach the ground level. (round your answer to three decimal places.) t = s (e) find the velocity of the coin at impact. (round your answer to three decimal places.) ft/s

Which of these has some mechanical energy? a. an atom b. heat inside earth c. a book on a shelf d. the fire from a lit match
