what holds the atoms in plastic together

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".

Which of the following best describes internal energy? a. the difference between the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system b. the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system c. the sum of the kinetic and thermal energies of the particles in a system d. the difference between the kinetic and thermal energies of the particles in a system

A2.50 × 105 w motor is used for 26.4 s to pull a boat straight toward shore. how far does the boat move toward shore if a force of 4.20 × 104 n is applied by the motor?
