A turntable A is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. It is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk B starts

to slide on the turntable 15 s after the turntable begins to rotate. Knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.3 m/s^2 , determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable

Answer:

μ = 0.03

Explanation:

In order for the trunk not to slide the frictional force between the turntable and the trunk must be equal to the unbalanced force applied on the trunk by the motion of the turntable. Therefore,

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

but,

Unbalanced Force = ma (Newton's second law of motion)

Frictional Force = μN = μW = μmg

Therefore,

ma = μmg

a = μg

μ = a/g

where,

μ = coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable = ?

a = tangential acceleration of trunk = 0.3 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

μ = (0.3 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μ = 0.03</u>

Which statement best describes how reproduction leads to natural selection in a population?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Organisms overproduce offspring, so only some survive and pass on their traits.

Natural selection is the fitting of a population to its environment.

Explanation:

Most organisms produce more than two or more offspring in their lifetime. Therefore the subsequent generations ideally have more individuals than the previous. However, naturally, the population size does not grow indefinitely. This is because some individuals do not survive to pass their genes to the next generation. Natural selection chooses the best fit individuals to habitat, and these live long enough to pass their traits to the next generation. Natural selection powers the evolution of a population even as environment changes

A toy rocket that weights 10 N blasts straight up from ground level with an initial kinetic energy of 40J. at the exact top of i
marishachu [46]

Answer:

14 m

Explanation:

Applying,

P.E = WH............ Equation 1

Where P.E = potential energy at the highest vertical height, W = weight of the toy rocket, H = Vertical height.

Note: At the highest vertical height, the kinetic energy is 0 J

Therefore,

Mechanical energy(M.E) = Potential Energy(P.E)

make H the subject of the equation

H = P.E/W......... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: W = 10 N,  P.E = 140 J

Substitute these values in equation 2

H = 140/10

H = 14 m
