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

Physics
1 answer:

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

II Force on a tennis ball. The record speed for a tennis ball that is served is 73.14 m/s. During a serve, the ball typically st
AveGali [126]

Answer:

F=248.5W N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma. We will use their averages always. The average acceleration the tennis ball experimented is, by definition:

a=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}

Since we start counting at 0s and the ball departs from rest, this is just a=\frac{v}{t}

So we can write:

F=ma=\frac{mv}{t}=\frac{gmv}{gt}

Where in the last step we have just multiplied and divided by g, the acceleration of gravity. This allows us to introduce the weight of the ball W since W=gm, so we have:

F=\frac{Wv}{gt}=\frac{v}{gt}W

Substituting our values:

F=\frac{(73.14m/s)}{(9.81m/s^2)(30\times10^{-3}s)}W=248.5W N

Where the average force exerted has been written it terms of the tennis ball's weight W.

VELOCITY, SPEED, DISTANCE ETC..
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity  = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity  = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h
