The value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wagon and inclined surface is 0.78.

<h3>Coefficient of the kinetic friction</h3>

The value of coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

F - μmgcosθ = ma

where;

  • F is applied force
  • μ is coefficient of kinetic friction
  • m is mass of the wagon
  • a is acceleration of the wagon

182 - μ(20 x 9.8 x cos30) = 20(2.5)

182 - 169.74μ = 50

182 - 50 = 169.74μ

132 = 169.74μ

μ = 132/169.74

μ = 0.78

Thus, the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wagon and inclined surface is 0.78.

Answer:

v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}

For the y-direction gives

v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

a car takes 125 ft to brake from 60 to 0 mph. Assume that the acceleration of the Prius is constant while braking. Find how long
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.84 seconds

Explanation:

t = ?

distance = 125

Velocity origianal = 60 m/hr = 88 ft/s

     AVERAGE velocity = 88/2 = 44 ft/s

44 t = 125

t = 125/44 = 2.84 s

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

efficiency =   \frac{useful \: work \: done}{total \: energy \: input}

800 / 1000 = 0.8

Efficiency = 0.8 *100 = 80%

Both the lens and the cornea of the eye have a primary function of
3241004551 [841]

Answer: B. bending light

Explanation:

The phenomenom of vision in human eye is thanks to refraction (when light changes its direction as it passes through one medium to another), and this is what the cornea and the lens do.

When the ray of light encounters the eye, the first thing it finds is the <u>cornea</u>, which<u> bends this ray and begins to form an image</u>, then light passes through the <u>pupil</u>, which is in charge of regulating the amount of light that enters in the eye.  

After light travels through pupil it passes through the <u>lens</u>, where <u>the rays of light change the direction again in order to focus the formed image on the retina. </u>

At this point it is important to note the formed image is downward, then the retina transforms light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and finally the brain interprets these messages, and forms a right upward image.

In the image attached these parts can be seen.
