By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that
<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0
where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².
The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that
80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N) → <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408
Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is
40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N) → <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204
And so the closest answer is C.
(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)
Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...
(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8
1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.
Everything is in the universe.
That's what the word means.
Explanation:
Average acceleration is change in velocity over time.
a = Δv / Δt
a = (22.0 m/s − (-25.0 m/s)) / 0.00350 s
a = 13,400 m/s²
