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

An electron, moving south, enters a magnetic field of certain strength. Because of this field the electron curves upward. What i
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: The magnetic field points to the west.

Explanation:

If we take the plane as:

North = positive y-axis

East = positive x-axis.

We have that the electron is moving south, so the velocity of the electron can be written in vector form as:

V = (0, -v, 0)

Now, when the electron interacts with the magnetic field, the electron moves upwards.

We know that the interaction between an electron and a magnetic field is:

F = q*VxB

So we have that this force acts on the z-direction.

Now, to solve this we can use the righ hand rule.

First, we point wit our hand to the direction of the velocity (negative y-axis) now, we want that our thumb points up (the direction of the force) so the side where our palm faces is the direction of the field B.

But, remember that an electron has a negative charge, so the actual equation is:

F = -q*VxB

So the magnetic field actually points in the opposite direction of our palm, to the west.

Now, we can also solve it mathematically as:

F = (0, 0, f) = -q*(0, -v,0)x(a, b, c)

where B = (a, b, c) is the vector of the magnetic field.

     (0, 0, f) = -q*(-v*b -0, -0 + 0, 0 -(- a*v)) = -q*(-v*b, 0, a*v)

then we have that b must be equal to zero, and that:

f = -q*a*v

and f is positive, then we have:

a = -(f/q*v)

then the vector of the magnetic field is:

B = (-(f/q*v), 0, 0)

so it points in the negative x-axis, that is the West, as we found earlier.

Jupiter's gravitational field is stronger than Earth's. On Jupiter, an object's__________ will be greater than on Earth. What on
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: Weight

Explanation:The mass of an object is a measure of the quantity of matter in the object. This quantity remains constant under any circumstance.

However, the same cannot be said about the weight of such object.

The weight of the object is very much dependent on the acceleration due to gravity which is a accelerational pull (by convention-- a pull downwards).

This is why an object tends to fall when it is thrown upwards on the earth for instance.

The statements above consequently infer that since the gravitational field of Jupiter is greater than that of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on earth.

And since the weight of an object(W) is a product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity at that point.

Consequently, the object's weight on Jupiter would be greater than its weight on earth.

Please note; The Mass of the object remains constant everywhere.

An amateur golfer swings a golf club, striking a golf ball that has a mass of 55.0 g. The club is in contact with the ball for o
Rudiy27

Answer:

The average force ≅ 519.44 N.

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum of a body

i.e Ft = m(v - u)

where F is the force, t is the time, m is the mass of the body, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

m = 55.0 g (0.055 Kg), t = 0.00360 s, v = 34.0 m/s, since the ball was initially at rest; u = 0 m/s

So that,

F x 0.00360 = 0.055(34 - 0)

F x 0.00360 = 0.055 x 34

                    = 1.87

F = \frac{1.87}{0.0036}

 = 519.4444

The average force exerted on the ball by the club is approximately 519.44 N.

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?
valkas [14]
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.
