A 9.0-kg box of oranges slides from rest down a frictionless incline from a height of 5.0 m. A constant frictional force, introd

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, k , of the surface from A to B?

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box $m = 9$ kg

Initial height $h = 5$ m

Final height $h' = 0$ m

Distance travel by block $d = 19$ m

For finding coefficient of kinetic friction,

We use conservation laws,

Work done by frictional force is equal to change in energy,

$W_{fr} = \Delta E$

Here only potential energy change so we can write,

$f_{k} d \cos 180 = mg(h') - mg(h)$

Here $f_{k} = \mu_{k} mg$

$-\mu_{k}\times mgd= -mgh$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{h}{d}$

$\mu _{k} = \frac{5}{19}$

$\mu _{k} = 0.26$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26

Which of the following are decomposition reactions?

zhenek [66]

The 2 decomposition reactions are:

B. $K_{2}$ $CO_{3}$ (s) --> $K_{2} O$ (s) + $CO_{2}$ (g)

C. $2SO_{3}$ (g) --> $2SO_{2}$ (g) + $O_{2}$ (g)

Explanation:

Step 1:

A decomposition reaction is one in which a single compound breaks down into two or more products.

Step 2:

Let us examine each reaction if it satisfies the above rule.

A. 2 LiOH + $CO_{2}$ ---> $Li_{2} CO_{3}$ + $H_{2} O$

In this reaction we have 2 reactants giving 2 products. Hence this is not a decomposition reaction.

B. $K_{2} CO_{3}$ ---> $K_{2} O$ + $CO_{2}$

In this reaction a single reactant potassium carbonate gives rise to 2 products Potassium Oxide and carbon-di-oxide. Hence this is a decomposition reaction

C. $2SO_{3}$ ---> $2SO_{2}$ + $O_{2}$

In this reaction a single reactant sulfur tri-oxide gives rise to 2 products sulfur di-oxide and oxygen. Hence this is a decomposition reaction.

D. $2Na$ + $Cl_{2}$ ---> $2NaCl_{}$

In this reaction 2 reactants sodium and chlorine gives rise to a single product sodium chloride. Hence this is not a decomposition reaction.

Step 3:

Answer:

The 2 decomposition reactions are:

B. $K_{2} CO_{3}$ (s) ---> $K_{2}O$ (s) + $CO_{2}$ (g)

C. $2SO_{3}$ ---> $2SO_{2}$ + $O_{2}$

A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 2.0 rev/srev/s . The wheel can be consi

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:1.7 rev/s

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of wheel $N_1=2\ rev/s$

angular speed $\omega_1=2\pi N_1=4\pi\ rad/s$

mass of wheel $m_1=4.5\ kg$

diameter of wheel $d_1=0.30\ m=30\ cm$

radius of wheel $r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15\ cm$

mass of clay $m_2=2.8\ kg$

the radius of the chunk of clay $r_2=8\ cm$

Moment of inertia of Wheel

$I_1=\dfrac{m_1r_1^2}{2}=\dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}\ kg-cm^2$

Combined moment of inertia of wheel and clay chunk

$I_2=\dfrac{m_1r_1^2}{2}+\dfrac{m_2r_2^2}{2}=\dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}+\dfrac{2.8\times 8^2}{2}\ kg-cm^2$

Conserving angular momentum

$\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}\cdot 4\pi=(\dfrac{4.5\times 15^2}{2}+\dfrac{2.8\times 8^2}{2})\omega_2\\\\\Rightarrow \omega _2=\dfrac{4\pi }{1+\dfrac{2.8}{4.5}\times (\dfrac{8}{15})^2}=\dfrac{4\pi}{1+0.1769}=0.849\times 4\pi$

Common frequency of wheel and chunk of clay is

$\Rightarrow N_2=\dfrac{4\pi \times 0.849}{2\pi}=1.698\approx 1.7\ rev/s$

A 1,200 kg subcompact car accelerates at a rate of 3.0m/s

ludmilkaskok [199]

Missing question (found on internet):
"what is the force of the car?"

Solution:
According to Newton's second law, the force of the car is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
$F=ma$
For the car in the problem,
$m=1200 kg$
$a=3.0 m/s^2$
So the force that accelerates the car is
$F=(1200 kg)(3.0 m/s^2)=3600 N$
