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

A system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 222 J when 150 J of wor

joja [24]

Answer:0 J

Explanation:

Given

For first step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_1=222 J$

Work done on the system $W_1=-150 J$

For second step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_2=123 J$

Work done on the system $W_2=-195 J$

Work done on the system is considered as Positive and vice-versa.

and from first law of thermodynamics

$Q=\Delta U+W$

for first step

$Q_1=222-150=72 J$

$Q_2=123-195=-72 J$

overall heat added $=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q_{net}=72-72 =0$

For overall Process Heat added is 0 J

An iron has a power of 1,000w. How much energy will it electrically transfer each second?.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

P= 1000W, t = 1s ⇒ E = Pt = 1000 ∗ 1 = 1000J

Explanation: Power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat per unit of time, or, in other words, power is the rate of transferred energy per unit of time

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 2.60 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 4.60 m

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

9.495 m/s

Explanation:

initial horizontal speed, ux = 2.60 m/s

initial vertical speed, uy = 0

height, h = 4.60 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let the speed of fish is v as it hits the water level.

Use third equation of motion in vertical direction

$v^{2}= u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}= 0^{2}+2\times 9.8\times 4.60$

v = 9.495 m/s

Thus, the fish hits the water level with the speed of 9.495 m/s.
