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

It doesn't because when u threw it the first time, u notice that the ball eventually came to a stop because of the force that was acting upon it. Although when u throw it harder it will start out faster than the first time u threw it because u put more kinetic energy onto the ball. But the same thing happens with this ball that happened to the second ball, they both have a type of force acting upon them.

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Parallel circuit

Explanation:

A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which current flows and divide in two or more paths and recombining to complete the circuit, each load (light bulb) receives the fully voltage of the batteries in the circuit.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

K = \frac{GMm}{2r}

T^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{r^3}{GM})

Explanation:

As we know that for a satellite the force of gravitation is equal to the centripetal force

so we will have

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

so we know that kinetic energy is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we have

K = \frac{GMm}{2r}

now for time period we know

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

from above expression of kinetic energy we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

so we have

T = \frac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}}

so square of time period is given as

T^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{r^3}{GM})

b.  the ratio of the KE of the SUV to that of the car

\tt \dfrac{1/2\times mv^2}{1/2\times 1.5m\times (\dfrac{2}{3}v )^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{1.5m\dfrac{4}{6}v^2 }=1:1
