Convection currents are driven by the buoyancy
that results from density differences.
Answer:
uk = 0.25
Explanation:
Given:-
- An object comes to stop with acceleration, a = -2.45 m/s^2
Find:-
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the floor?
Solution:-
- Assuming the object has mass (m) that slides over a rough surface with coefficient of kinetic friction (uk). There is only Frictional force (Ff) acting in the horizontal axis on the object opposing the motion (-x direction).
- We will apply equilibrium equation on the object in vertical direction.
N - m*g = 0
N = m*g
Where, N : Contact force exerted by the surface on the floor
g : Gravitational acceleration constant = 9.81 m/s^2
- Now apply Newton's second law of motion in the horizontal ( x-direction ):
- Ff = m*a
- The frictional force is related to contact force (N) by the following expression:
Ff = uk*N
- Substitute the 1st and 3rd expressions in the 2nd equation:
uk*m*g = -m*a
uk = a / g
- Plug in the values and solve for uk:
uk = - (-2.45) / 9.81
uk = 0.25
Answer:
The apparent weight of the person as she pass the highest point is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius of the Ferris wheel is 
The period of revolution is 
The weight of the person is 
Generally the speed of the wheel is mathematically represented as
substituting values
The apparent weight (the normal force exerted on her by the bench) at the highest point is mathematically evaluated as
Where m is the mass of the person which is mathematically evaluated as
substituting values
So
Explanation:
1. W = F x D
F = W/D
F = 120/6 = 20Newton
2. P. E = mgh
P. E = 1.5x10x2 = 30Joules
3. It means that the energy the body possesses at that point is 20Joules
