A deli owner creates a lunch special display board by taking a uniform board which has a weight of 217 n, cutting it in half, hi

nging the halves together with a frictionless hinge, and setting it up as an inverted "v". determine the minimum coefficient of static friction needed between the board and the ground in order for her to set the display board up with an angle of 30° between the two sides

Refer to the figure shown below.

W = 217/2 = 108.5 N, the weight of one half of the board.
N = W = 108.5 N, the normal reaction at B or C.
R = frictional force at B or C preventing the board from sliding.

The vertical dashed line through A is a line of symmetry.

By definition,
R = μN = 108.5μ N
where
μ = the static coefficient of friction between the board and the ground.

From geometry,
h = 2a tan(30°) = 1.1547a

Take moments about A for the member AB.
2aN - Rh -Wa = 0
2a(108.5) - 108.5μ(1.1547a) - 108.5 a = 0
217 - 125.285μ - 108.5 = 0
125.285μ = 108.5
μ = 0.866
This is the minimum required static coefficient of friction

Answer: 0.866

If a quantity of heat equal to the magnitude of the change in mechanical energy of the water goes into the water, what is its in
Flauer [41]
Increase in temperature of water = 0.53 °C
Explanation:
Change in mechanical energy = Potential energy
Potential energy = mgh
Mass, m = Mass of 1 L water = 1 kg
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²
Height, h = 225 m
Potential energy = 1 x 9.81 x 225 = 2207.25 J
Because of this 2207.25 J water gets heated.
Heat energy, E = mcΔT
Mass, m = Mass of 1 L water = 1 kg
Specific heat of water, c = 4200 J/kg/C
Energy, E = 2207.25 J
Change in temperature, ΔT = ?
Substituting
2207.25 = 1 x 4200 x ΔT
ΔT = 0.53 °C
Increase in temperature of water = 0.53 °C

Earth-orbiting astronauts feel weightless in space because _____. Choose all that apply. 1 point They are in free-fall motion. T
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

They are in free-fall motion.

Explanation:

The Earth orbiting astronauts are falling at an acceleration that is the same or greater than the acceleration due to gravity i.e., 9.81 m/s². If you are continuously falling at this rate then you will feel weightless.

This same effect is felt while going down in an elevator. When you down in an elevator you feel that you are lighter and feel that something is pushing you up. Earth-orbiting astronauts feel the same effect but the accelration is greater hence they feel weightless.
