Answer:

Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector, while speed is a scalar.

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

bazaltina [42]

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair

μ_s= $F_{max}/F_{n}$

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴ $F_{n}$ =mg

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s= $F_{max}/mg$

μ_{s} = $=165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )$

= 0.67

Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is crated, the ringing sound is n

kenny6666 [7]

working...

Sound wave needs medium to travel

as energy which travels in this wave is because of transfer from one particle to another particle

If there is no medium then energy can not be transferred and sound wave will not travel

so in vacuum we can not listen sound

similarly here air is removed it means there is no medium inside the jar to travel the sound and hence we can not hear it

Option B is correct

Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.

A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 152 om and makes an angl

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude of the second displacement

β= 21.8° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement

Explanation:

We find the x-y components for the given vectors:

i: unit vector in x direction

j:unit vector in y direction

D₁: Displacement Vector 1

D₂: Displacement Vector 2

R= resulta displacement vector

D₁= 152*cos110°(i)+152*sin110°(j)=-51.99i+142.83j

D₂= -D₂(i)-D₂(j)

R= 131*cos38°(i)+ 131*sin38°(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

We propose the vector equation for sum of vectors:

D₁+ D₂= R

-51.99i+142.83j+D₂x(i)-D₂y(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

-51.99i+D₂x(i)=103.23i

D₂x=103.23+51.99=155.22 cm

+142.83j-D₂y(j) =+80.65j

D₂y=142.83-80.65=62.18 cm

Magnitude and direction of the second displacement

$D_{2} =\sqrt{(D_{x})^{2} +(D_{y} )^{2} }$

$D_{2} =\sqrt{(155.22)^{2} +(62.18 )^{2} }$

D₂= 167.21 cm

Direction of the second displacement

$\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{D_{y}}{D_{x} }$

$\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{62.18}{155.22 }$

β= 21.8°

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude of the second displacement

β= 21.8.° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement
