The ice melts because Thermal energy from Jan’s hand is transferred to the ice.

<h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

Thermal energy is the energy due to temperature difference.

Thermal energy flows from hotter to colder bodies.

The ice Jan is holding melts because heat is transferred from his hands t the ice.

In conclusion, thermal energy flow causes melting.

Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.101$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}$

$\mu_k=0.101$

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Your answer is: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

If the height (h) = 169.2 meters (m) and the mass (m) is 0.005 kilograms (kg) the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy.

K.E = P.E and also P.E equals to mgh

Then you substitute all the parameters into the formula ↓

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

So your answer is 8.2908 but if you round it is K.E = 8.3
