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

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur
muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

From which we have;

E \cdot  A =  \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}}  = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

E \cdot  A  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}

E  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}

By Gauss theorem, we have;

E\oint dS =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

Therefore, we get;

E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

E =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }=  \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }

k_e=  \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }

Therefore, we have;

E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }
