The work done by friction to move the sled is  - 1,323 J.

<h3>What is Coefficient of friction?</h3>
  • The friction coefficient is the ratio of the normal force pressing two surfaces together to the frictional force preventing motion between them.
  • Typically, it is represented by the Greek letter µ. In terms of math, is equal to F/N, where F stands for frictional force and N for normal force.
  • The coefficient of friction has no dimensions because both F and N are measured in units of force (such as newtons or pounds). For both static and kinetic friction, the coefficient of friction has a range of values.
  • When an object experiences static friction, the frictional force resists any applied force, causing the object to stay at rest until the static frictional force is removed. The frictional force opposes an object's motion in kinetic friction.

Solution:

Given that

Coefficient of friction (µ) = 0.10

Mass (m) = 90kg

distance covered (d) = 30m

We use the formula:

friction work = -µmgdcos∅

friction work = -0.100 × 90 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 30 m × cos 60°

friction work = - 1,323 J

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The electric field  can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.
