Soil can best be described as the A. layer of bedrock four layers beneath the Earth's surface.
B. sandy bottom of the ocean's floor.
C. third layer beneath the Earth's surface.
D. loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct option is D. Soil can best be described as the loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter. There are different types of soil, the type of soil formed depends majorly on the type of parent rock from which the soil is formed and the amount of organic matter present in the soil.

The driver of a 1500 kg car, travelling on a highway, hits the brakes. A force of 12000 N stops the car in a distance of 64 m. how fast was the car going when the driver hit the brakes?

Answers

Answer:

v = 32 m/s

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done by all the forces must be equal to change in kinetic energy of the car

So here when brakes are applied then work is done by the brakes which is equal to change in kinetic energy of the car

so we know that work done by the brakes is given as

W = -12000 * 64

W = -768000 J

now we will have

W = 0 - (1)/(2)mv^2

-768000 = - (1)/(2)(1500) v^2

v = 32 m/s
