1. The figure below shows the forces exerted on a block that is sliding to the right on a horizontal surface: the gravitational force of 40 N, the 40 N normal force exerted by the
surface, and a frictional force exerted to the left. The coefficient of friction between the
block and the surface is 0.20.
40 N
40 N
The acceleration of the block is most nearly
a. 1 m/s? to the right
b. 2 m/s to the right
C. 1 m/s? to the left
d. 2 m/s? to the left

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix. b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds. c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer. d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.

I'm thinking it's 2 you are asked to explain the earth's magnetic field. which is the best reply? 1. the earth's magnetic south is similar to the north pole of a magnet. 2. the earth's core has a strong magnetic charge similar to the south pole of a magnet. 3. the earth's geomagnetic south is similar to the south pole of a magnet. 4. the earth's magnetic charge is not centered at either pole; it varies based on location.

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.
