Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

Force (in Newtons) equals mass (in kilograms) times acceleration (in meters per second squared).

Plug in the given force and mass to the equation and solve for acceleration:

10=25a

0.4m/s2=a

Hope this helps!!

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Complete question is;. A 73mH solenoid inductor is wound on a form that is 0.80m long and 0.10m in diameter a coil having a resistance of 7.7 ohms is tightly wound around the solenoid at its center the mutual inductance of the coil and solenoid is 19μH at a given instant the current in the solenoid is 820mA and is decreasing at the rate of 2.5A/s at the given instant what is the induced current in the coil

Answer:

6.169 μA

Explanation:

Formula for induced EMF is given by the equation;

EMF = M(di/dt). We are given;

di/dt = 2.5 A/s

M = 19μH = 19 × 10^(-6) H

Thus;

EMF = 19 × 10^(-6) × 2.5.

EMF = 47.5 × 10^(-6) V

Formula for current is;

i = EMF/R. R is resistance given as 7.7 ohms.

Thus; i = 47.5 × 10^(-6)/7.7

i = 6.169 μA

. What type of stress is tension and at what type of plate boundary is it found?

Mrac [35]

The three main types of stress go along with the three types of plate boundaries: compression is common at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries. Hope this helps

Stells [14]

Answer:

v=0.04m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to take into account the expression

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

where v and r are the magnitudes of the velocity and position vectors.

By calculating the magnitude of r and replacing w=0.02rad/s in the formula we have that

$|r|=\sqrt{(-1.18m)^2+(-0.9m)^2}=2.01m\\\\v=\omega r=(0.02\frac{rad}{s})(2.01m)=0.04\frac{m}{s}$

the maximum relative velocity is 0.04m/s

hope this helps!!

What is the difference between centrifugal force and centripetal force???

topjm [15]

Centripetal force is defined as, "the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation," while centrifugal force is defined as "the apparent force that is felt by an object moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of rotation," according to Merriam Webster Dictionary.
