Good morning.

We calculate the acceleration with the <em>Torricelli equation</em>:

\star\  \boxed{\mathsf{V^2 = V_0^2 + 2a\Delta S}}

We see that:

\begin{cases}\mathsf{V_0 = 0}\\\mathsf{V = 2.3 \ m/s}\\\mathsf{\Delta S = 8.9 \ m}\end{cases}

Now:

\mathsf{(2.3)^2 = 0^2 + 2a\cdot 8.9}\\ \\ \mathsf{5.29 = 17.8a}\\ \\ \bold{\mathsf{a = 0.3 \ m/s^2}}


Now we can calculate the resultant force that makes that acceleration of 0.3 m/s² with the 2nd Law of Newton:

\mathsf{F_r = m\cdot a}\\ \\ \mathsf{F_r = 20\cdot 0.3}\\ \\ \mathsf{F_r = 6 \ N}


We have a force of 26 N → and a friction force F ←. Adding those vectors, he have  a force 6 N →. Therefore:

26 - F = 6

F = 20 N


We have a friction force of 20 N. We calculate the kinect coefficient with the formula:

\star \ \boxed{\mathsf{F = \mu_k N}}


Since we are in a horizontal plane, we hava that N = P = mg = 200 N

Therefore:

\mathsf{20 = \mu_k 200}\\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{\mu_k = 0.1}}}

Answer:

question5: F=74312.5N

question6: charge at the end of antenna=0.37N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion due to two charges is proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.

⇒F\alpha\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}

∴F=k\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}

where F is the force of attraction or repulsion

k is Coulumb's constant=9*10^{9}Nm^{2}C^{-2}

q1 and q2 are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between two charges

The force between the two charges is attractive if they are of different polarity

The force between the two charges is repulsive if they are of same polarity

Question5:

Given: q1=0.041 C, q2=0.029 C, r=12 m

therefore by Coulumb's law,

F=9*10^{9}*\frac{0.041*0.029}{12^{2}}

F=74312.5N

Question6:

Given: q1=3*10^{-18}C, r=5 m, F=4*10^{-11}N

therefore by Coulumb's law,

4*10^{-11}=9*10^{9}*\frac{3*10^{-18}*q2}{5^{2}}

⇒q2=\frac{4*10^{-11}*25}{9*10^{9}*3*10^{-18}} \\=0.37C

With thermodynamics, one cannot determine ________. Question 6 options: the speed of a reaction the direction of a spontaneous r
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A.  the speed of a reaction

Explanation:

The thermodynamic aspect of a reaction will show you the energy needed for a reaction to occur. If the energy difference(ΔG)  is positive, which means the reaction is absorbing energy and it called endothermically. The opposite will be an exothermic reaction that will release energy, which means it doesn't need energy and the energy difference (ΔG) will be negative.  

Thermodynamic can be used to determine a few things of a reaction, like the direction of the reaction, the extent, or temperature in which the reaction is spontaneous. But thermodynamic not used to find the speed of a reaction.

What if when I find my product, I get the same compound as I did in my reactant? For example, FeCl3 + HCl ->FeCl3 + HCl. Then something is wrong. In this case, FeCl3 and HCl usually don't react. In very concentrated solutions of HCl, the FeCl4^- or FeCl6^-3 ion can form. In... There you go my friend
