You need to push a heavy box across a rough floor, and you want to minimize the average force applied to the box during the time the box is being pushed. Which method for pushing results in the minimum average force being applied to the box? a. Keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed, b. Push the box forward a short distance, rest, then repeat until finished, c. Push the box so that it accelerates forward at a constant rate.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?

Which compound is held together by the electrostatic force between two ions? a. co2 b. cci4 c. h2s d. mgf2
