The coefficient of friction is 0.5.

<h3>What is Coefficient of friction?</h3>

The ratio of friction force to normal force is known as the coefficient of friction (COF), which has no dimensions. Those materials are said to as lubricous if their COF is less than 0.1. Surface roughness and COF are dependent on the composition of the materials.

Initial velocity, u=30m/s

time taken = 6s

Final velocity, v=0

Acceleration of friction, a=μg=10μms⁻²

Apply first kinematic equation of motion,

v - u = at

0 - 30 = (-10μms⁻²) × 6

-30 = -60μ

μ = 1/2

μ = 0..5

Hence, coefficient of friction is 0.5

How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?

lidiya [134]

Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is $e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the wire is $L = 3 \ m$

The elongation of the wire is $e = 1.2mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 m$

The tension is $F = 200 \ N$

The length of the second wire is $L_2 = 6 \ m$

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain }$

Where $stress = \frac{F}{A}$

Where A is the area which is evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2$

and $strain = \frac{extention}{length} = \frac{e}{L}$

$Y = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L} }$

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y) is constant

So we have

$\frac{F * L }{r^2 e} = \pi * Y = constant$

$F * L = constant * r^2 e$

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} * \frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{r*2_1}{r^2} * \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

Since tension , radius are constant

We have

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

substituting values

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{0.0012}{e_2}$

$0.5 e_2 = 0.0012$

$e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012 }{0.5}$

$e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

What is The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum

Talja [164]

The most common value for the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second.

A more accurate number is <span>299 792 458 m/second, but that number is hardly ever used.</span>
