A forward horizontal force of 12n is used to pull a crate across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity. If the crate weighs

240n, what is the coefficient of friction?.
Physics

kow [346]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

μ = coefficient of friction.

F = Frictional force = 12N

R = Normal reaction = mg = Weight = 240N

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8ms—²

μ = F/R

<em>μ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>0</em>

<em>μ </em><em>=</em><em> </em>¹/20

μ = 0.05

Explain each of the following phenomena and how they extend our understanding of genetics from the work done by Gregor Mendel an
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Incomplete Dominance: In this case, the 3rd different phenotype is created by the heterozygous(CwCr) (for example, pink)

Co-Dominance: the heterozygous is observed to show both the homozygous conditions (for example the blood type iAiB shows both A and B carbohydrates)

Multiple alleles: This is when a gene has over 2 alleles (i.e. blood has ia ib i)

Polygenic inheritance: This is when over two different gene leads to the expression of a trait.

Pleiotropy: This is the when a gene shows several effects on an organism.

Epistasis: This is when more than one gene have strong control on the  expression of a trait (for example, E/e allele creates pigments)

Sex-linkage: This refers to the genes found in sex chromosomes

Gene Linkage: These are the genes situated in a similar chromosome.

One kind of baseball pitching machine works by rotating light and stiff rigid rod about a horizontal axis until the ball is movi
erastova [34]

Answer:

(a). The ball's centripetal acceleration is 16.17\times10^{2}\ m/s^2

(b). The magnitude of the net force is 232.9 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of baseball = 144 g

Speed = 81 mph = 36.2 m/s

Distance = 81 cm

(a). We need top calculate the ball's centripetal acceleration just before it is released

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

Where, v = speed

r  = radius

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{(36.2)^2}{81\times10^{-2}}

a=1617.82\ m/s^2

a=16.17\times10^{2}\ m/s^2

(b). We need to calculate the magnitude of the net force that is acting on the ball just before it is released

Using formula of force

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

F=\dfrac{144\times10^{-3}\times(36.2)^2}{81\times10^{-2}}

F=232.9\ N

Hence, (a). The ball's centripetal acceleration is 16.17\times10^{2}\ m/s^2

(b). The magnitude of the net force is 232.9 N.

Which isotopes of which elements contributed mainly to contamination in the Chernobyl accident? 3 sentences long.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Iodine , caesium , strontium ,Plutonium

Explanation:

The isotopes of four main elements which include Iodine , caesium , strontium ,Plutonium contributed mainly to contamination in the Chernobyl accident which involved the release of harmful radioactive radiation into the environment.

The accident occurred in 1986 at Chernobyl , Ukraine as a result of errors made in the design of the reactor and inexperienced hands handling it.

This led to hundreds of death and negative effects on living and the environment around the area.
