Answer:

d = 25.51 m

Explanation:

the law of the conservation of energy says that:

E_i - E_f = W_f

where E_i is the inicial energy, E_f is the final energy and W_f is the work of the friction.

so:

E_i = \frac{1}{2} MV^2

E_f = 0

where M is the mass and V the velocity.

also,

W_f = U_kNd

where U_k is the coefficient of kinetic frictio, N is the normal force and d is the distance.

therefore:

\frac{1}{2}MV^2=U_kNd

also, N is equal to the mass of the hockey puck multiplicated by the gravity.

replacing:

\frac{1}{2}m(5)^2=(0.05)(m(9.8))(d)

canceling the m:

\frac{1}{2}5^2=0.05(9.8)(d)

solving for d:

d = \frac{\frac{1}{2}5^2 }{0.05(9.8)}

d = 25.51 m

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

surface charge density on each sphere is 440 \times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

given data

radius of smaller sphere = 5 cm

radius of  larger sphere is 12 cm

electric field at surface of larger sphere = 660 kV/m = 660 × 1000 v/m

solution

we apply here electric field formula that is express as

E = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon  })\times  (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )    .................1

put here value

660000 = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{Q1}{0.12^2}  

Q1 = 1056 × 10^{-9}

and

here field inside a conductor is zero so that electric potential ( V ) is constant

\frac{Q{1} }{R} = \frac{Q{2} }{r}   ..................2

so Q2 will be

Q2 =  \frac{5}{12} \times 1056 \times 10^{-9}  

Q2 =  440 \times 10^{-9}  C

An experiment is designed to investigate the relation between the pressure and temperature in a tank that has a constant volume
viva [34]

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence  :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias

How does the lever arm change if you decrease the angle of the force?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The lever arm could decrease or increase depending of the initial angle.

Explanation:

The lever arm d is calculated by:

d = rsin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ the angle between the force and the radius.

So, the increse or decrees of d depends of the sin of the angle θ, if the initial angle is greather than 90° and the angle decrease to an angle closer to 90°, the lever arm will increase but if the initial angle is 90° or lower and the angle decrease, the lever arm will decrease.

Veronica claims that she can throw a dart at a dartboard from a distance of 2 m and hit the 5 cm wide bullseye if she throws the
wariber [46]
First, find the amount of time for the dart to hit the board using this equation: t = d/v

t = 2 m/ 15 m/s = 0.133 s

Then, find the height the dart has fallen from its initial point using this equation: h = 0.5gt²

h = 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(0.133 s)² = 0.0872 m or 8.72 cm

Since the diameter of the bull's eye is only 5 cm, and you started at the same level of the top of the bull's eye, that means the maximum allowance would only be 5 cm. Since it exceeded to 8.72 cm, it means that <em>Veronica will not hit the bull's eye.</em>
