Calculate the coefficient of friction of a 12kg object that has a force of friction of 3N

Physics
1 answer:
postnew [5]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

0.026

Explanation:

The force of friction acts in the direction perpendicular to the norm force of the surface on which the object rests, induced by gravity. The magnitude of the friction force is

(Friction) = (mass) x (gravitational acceleration g) x (coefficient of friction)

from which the coefficient of friction can be determined:

(coefficient of friction) = (Friction) / ((mass)x(g)) = 3 N / (12 kg * 9.8 m/s^2) = 0.026

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

1. explain why mid-sized cars and SUVs have different rollover fatality rates.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1.  They generally have poorer fuel efficiency and require more resources to manufacture than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to climate change and environmental degradation. Their higher center of gravity increases their risk of rollovers.

2. Mid-sized cars and SUVs both have a fixed object fatality rate of 2.6/BVM. This is most likely because they have a similar mass and inertia. The force of the crash is likely to have about the same deceleration in both vehicles.

When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o
jekas [21]

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare
zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

F_{12} = F_{21}

so we know that

\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}

so we have

\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
