When they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

<h3>Distance moved by the 40 kg boy</h3>

Apply the principle of center mass;

Take the 40 kg mass as the reference point;

X(40 kg) = (40kg x 0  + 60kg x 10 m)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(40 kg) = (600)/(100)

X(40 kg) = 6 m

Thus, when they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

Tech A says quartz crystals under mechanical stress will produce a voltage. Tech B says the piezoelectric principle is used in c
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Tech A is right.

Explanation:

Its the ability of quartz crystal that if we apply a mechanical stress on them by an applied force then they can produce the electricity or voltage. This phenomenon of producing electricity by squeezing a crystal is termed as piezoelectricity or a piezoelectric effect.

17. A 25 kg block is initially at rest on a rough, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 75 N is required to set
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.30581

0.24464

Explanation:

\mu_s = Coefficient of static friction

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinetic friction

F_f = 75 N

F_k = 60 N

Normal force

F_n=mg\\\Rightarrow F_n=25\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=245.25\ N

Frictional force

F_f=\mu_sF_n\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{F_f}{F_n}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{75}{245.25}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=0.30581

The coefficient of static friction is 0.30581

Kinetic force

F_k=\mu_kF_n\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\frac{F_k}{F_n}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{60}{245.25}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=0.24464

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24464

An object has a kinetic energy of 275 j and the momentum of magnitude of 25.0 kg m/s. find the speed and mass of the object
lyudmila [28]
<span>Recall formula for Kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE = 275J and momentum (which is 25.0 kg m/s) = m*v Therefore substitute for KE and mv in the equation above to get speed => 275 = 0.5 * 25 * v v = 275/12.5 v = 22m/s to get mass m, recall momentum = m*v => 25= 22*m m= 25/22 = 1.3663kg</span>

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).
Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.
