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.

Ber [7]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity (called <em>"alargamiento unitario"</em> in spanish) \epsilon of a spring is given by the following formula:

\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L}

Where:

L=10 cm  is the original length of the spring

\Delta L=L_{f}-L  is the elongation of the spring, being L_{f}=15 cm the length of the spring after a force is applied to it.

\epsilon=\frac{L_{f}-L}{L}=\frac{15 cm - 10 cm}{10 cm}

Then:

\epsilon=0.5

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.

What is the temperature increase of 4.0 kg of water when heated by an 800-W immersion heater for 10 min? (cw = 4 186 J/kg⋅°C)
Llana [10]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of water = 4 Kg

Water is heated to = 800 W

time of immersion = 10 min

                              = 10 x 60 = 600 s

using equation of specific heat  

Q = m S ΔT

S is the specific heat capacity of water which is equal to 4182 J/kg°C.

and another formula of heat

Q = Pt

now,

P t =  m S ΔT

800 x 600  = 4 x 4182 x ΔT

ΔT = 29° C

temperature increased is equal to ΔT = 29° C

Hence, the correct answer is option C
