Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?
Alexus [3.1K]

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects.  Drag is the frictional force opposing motion.  Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force.  Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force.  It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift.  It's what makes them fly.  The same shape is found in racecar spoilers.  These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.

How do metal detcors operate
Masja [62]
Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own.

What is your speed (in m/s) if you walk 1000m in 20 minutes? (Hint: how many seconds are in a minute)
labwork [276]

Answer:

20min = 20 × 60 = 1200sec.

Speed in m per sec.

V = 1000/1200

V = 0.833m per sec.
