Which of the following occurs during the evolution of a star?

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind

Vilka [71]

There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
$F_f = \mu N$
where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
$F=\mu N$
since we know that F=300 N and $\mu=0.3$ , we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N$

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is $\mu=0.03$ due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N$

1. A car travels 36 miles North and then 45 miles East. How far does it

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance or path between two points.

1) Displacement = √(36² + 45²) = 57.63 miles

2) Displacement = √(100² + 500²) = 509.9 meters

3) Displacement = √(60² + 40²) = 72.11 miles

4) Displacement = √(700² + 500²) = 860.23 miles

5) Displacement = 300 - 300 = 0 miles
