Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

Friction is rubbing two objects together. When this happens electrons from one object goes to the other. When one object loses electrons, it will have more protons, so it will be positively charged. When one object gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

This is what happens when you rub a rubber balloon on your hair, or even on the wall. Because one will be negatively charged and the other positive, the objects then attract each other and they stick together, like what happens when you rub the balloon on your hair, you hair will stick to the balloon, or vice-versa.

A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 27 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 80 N hori

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:0.302

Explanation:

Given

mass of crate m=27 kg

Force required to set crate in motion is 80 N

Once the crate is set in motion 56 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 80 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 56 is the kinetic friction force

thus

$f_s(static\ friction)=\mu \cdot N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction and N is Normal reaction

$N=mg$

$f_s=\mu mg$

$\mu mg=80$

$\mu =\frac{80}{27\times 9.8}$

$\mu =0.302$

If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.

What is the average power supplied by a 60.0 kg secretary running up a flight of stairs rising vertically 4.0 m in 4.2 s?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW
