Answer: 9.6kg

Explanation:

According to research, a person with compromised strength in his finger can apply a normal force of 6N to either side of a pinch held object like a notebook.

Since the person is holding onto to the book vertically, the force applied on both sides of the book slightly is 6 + 6 = 12N.

If the coefficient of friction of the surface between the finger and the book cover is given as 0.80.

From the relationship,

F = uR, u is the frictional force, R is the slight resultant force exerted on both side of the book.

Therefore,

F = 0.8 × 12 = 9.6N

The max mass of book this person can hold onto vertically before it slip off his finger will be derived from the formula

F = Mg

If we take acceleration due to gravity as 10m/s², and make M the subject of formula, we have

M = F/g = 9.6/10 = 0.96kg.

Answer: The mass of the heaviest book the person can hold is 0.0157 kilogram

Explanation:

From Force F = Coefficient of friction * length

Note, average length of human fingers is 7.6inches = 0.19304 meters

F= 0.8 *0.19304

F= 0.1544 N

But F = mass m * acceleration g

Mass m = F/g

m = 0.1544/9.81

m = 0.0157 kg

Which energy source is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air or moisture?. . A. natural gas.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. coal

Explanation:

Coal is made of remains of organic material including trees and other vegetation which got trapped beneath the earth’s surface or at the bottom of the swamps. After burial below the ground the organic material was acted upon by the high temperature and pressure in the absence of air to form peat. Peat after further processing for a longer period of time converted into coal

expain why different atoms of the same element always have the same atomic number but can have different mass numbers what are t
anzhelika [568]
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom. This value never changes because the number of protons in the nucleus always remains constant. The mass number tells you the number of protons and neutrons (or nucleons) together: protons + neutrons = mass number. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus varies, you can have different amounts of neutrons in the same type of atom. These varied types are called isotopes.

Hope this helps.

A 55.0-g piece of copper wire is heated, and the temperature of the wire changes from 19.0°C to 86.0°C. The amount of heat absor
Alinara [238K]
The specific heat of a metal or any element or compound can be determined using the formula Cp = delta H / delta T / mass. delta pertains to change. That is change in enthalpy and change in temperature. From the given data, Cp is equal to 343 cal per (86-19) c per 55 grams. This is equal to 0.093 cal / g deg. Celsius

Which set of terms best defines what affects kinetic energy and potential energy, respectively?
aleksley [76]
<span>The correct answer is "velocity, height". Kinetic energy is affected by: mass and velocity, while potential energy by: mass, gravity and height (or "position"). Considering these combinations, only the third choice is the correct one: a) position, gravity describe only potential energy, B) gravity, position describe only potential energy, C) velocity, height describe respectively kinetic and potential energy, D) height, velocity would respectively describe potential energy first and then kinetic energy, it is in the wrong order, thus the correct answer is C.</span>
