Yolanda might put more items to the desk to make it heavier, requiring more force.

We need to learn more about the force acting on an object in order to locate the solution.

<h3>How can the force that is required to modify the motion be increased?</h3>

We are aware that the word for force is,

F=ma

where m denotes the object's mass and an its acceleration

There are two ways to increase the force required to alter the motion of the table.

One is to increase the mass, and the other is to accelerate it more quickly.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of friction between the surfaces, making it difficult to move without exerting a lot of force.

We can infer from this that Yolanda could add items to the desk to increase its mass, necessitating the use of additional force.

Answer:

0.39

Explanation:

distance from the center (r) = 32 cm = 0.32 m

speed of the coin (v) = 110 cm/s = 1.1 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980 m/s^{2} = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the coefficient of static friction (k) between the coin and the turn table

frictional force = kmg

before the table begins to move, the frictional force balances the centripetal force ( $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ )

therefore

frictional force = centripetal force

kmg = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

kg = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

k = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ ÷ g

k = $\frac{1.1^{2} }{0.32}$ ÷ 9.8 = 0.39

timama [110]

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

$K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2$

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

$F_f=F_N*\µ$

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

$F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)$

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

$F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\$

for 75 degrees:

$F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\$

as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.
