A body of mass 25kg, moving at 3 ms per second on a rough horizontal floor brought to rest after sliding through a distance of 2

You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2

Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.

-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N

Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.

45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18

Hope that helps

one of the ways, covered in the article and in class, that we charged an object was rubbing it against carpet on the floor true

astraxan [27]

Answer:

It is possible to statically charge objects by rubbing it against carpet fibers, but I'm not sure if that was in the article that you read.

Explanation:

Static charge can build up via carpet fibers.

An exoplanet with one half of Earth's mass and 50% of Earth's radius is discovered.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

$The \ weight, W =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N$

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

$W_1 =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2} \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2} \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N$

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

A water main pipe of diameter 10 cm enters a house 2 m below ground. A smaller diameter pipe carries water to a faucet 5 m above

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 cm

Distance = 2 m

Speed $v_{1}= 2\ m/s$

Speed $v_{2}=7\ m/s$

Pressure in main pipe $P_{1}=2\times10^{5}\ Pa$

(I). We need to calculate the diameter

Using equation of continuity

$Av_{1}=Av_{2}$

$\pi(\dfrac{d_{1}}{2})^2\times v_{1}=\pi(\dfrac{d_{2}}{2})^2\times v_{2}$

$(\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times2=(\dfrac{d_{2}}{2})^2\times7$

$d_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{25\times2\times4}{7}}$

$d_{2}=5.345\ cm$

(II). We need to calculate the pressure the gauge pressure

Using Bernoulli equation

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

$P_{2}=P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)-\rho g(h_{1}-h_{2})$

$P_{2}=2\times10^{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000(4-49)-1000\times 9.8\times(5)$

$P_{2}=1.28500\times10^{5}\ Pa$

(III). If it is possible to carry water to a faucet 17 m above ground,

Using Bernoulli equation

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh=P_{3}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2+\rho g h_{3}$

$P_{3}=P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2-\rho g(h_{1}-h_{3})$

Here, $h_{3}=0$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{3}=2\times10^{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times4-1000\times 9.8\times17$

$P_{3}=3.5400\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Hence, This is required solution.
