A 7.5 kg sled slides to the left across level ground. When we come into this problem, any pushing forces have stopped and the sled is slowing due to friction at a rate of 1.2 m/s2. Find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the sled.

Asatellite with an orbital period of exactly 24.0 h is always positioned over the same spot on earth. this is known as a geosynchronous orbit. television,communication, and weather satellites use geosynchronous orbits. at what distance would a satellite have to orbit earth in order to have a geosynchronous orbit?

The law of entropy can also be called the law of increasing disorder, but this law seems to contradict the existence of living organisms that are able to organize chemicals into organic molecules. prepare for a class debate on the validity of the following arguments: a. living things are not subject to the laws of thermodynamics. b. the increase in the universe's entropy due to life processes is greater than the decrease in entropy within a living organism.

Which of the following situations would produce an average velocity of zero? o a. a horse galloping in a field b. a round-trip to school and back o c. a trip, first to the moon, then onto mars o d. the criss-crossing path of a flying bug
