2. A 70 kg base runner begins her slide into second base while moving at a speed
of 4 m/s. The coefficient of friction between her clothes and Earth is 0.70. She
slides so that her speed is zero just as she reaches the base.
a. How much work is done by friction to stop the runner? (-560 J)
b. How far does she slide? (1.2 m)

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.

Suppose that three astronomical objects, 1, 2, and 3 are observed to lie on a line, and the distance from object 1 to object 3 is d. object 1 has four times the mass of object 3, and seven times the mass of object 2. find the distance between objects 1 and 2 for which the net force on object 2 is zero.
