F = ma 

<span>where </span>

<span>F = frictional force </span>
<span>m = mass of the block = 1.4 kg (given) </span>
<span>a = acceleration of the block = 1.25 m/sec^2 (given) </span>

<span>Substituting values, </span>

<span>F = (1.4)(1.25) </span>

<span>F = 1.75 N </span>

<span>By definition, </span>

<span>F = (mu)(Normal force) </span>

<span>where </span>

<span>mu = coefficient of friction </span>
<span>Normal force = mg = 1.4*9.8 = 13.72 </span>

<span>Again, substituting appropriate values, </span>

<span>1.75 = mu(13.72) </span>

<span>mu = 0.128</span>

A marble rolls with a speed of 15 m/s and has a momentum of 0.15 kg*m/s. What is its mass?<br>​
prisoha [69]

Answer:

m = 0.01 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Momentum of the marble, p = 0.15 kg-m/s

Speed of the marble, v = 15 m/s

We need to find its mass. We know that,

Momentum, p = mv

Where

m is the mass

m=\dfrac{p}{v}\\\\m=\dfrac{0.15}{15}\\\\m=0.01\ kg

So, the mass of the marble is equal to 0.01 kg.

4. A cinder block is sitting on a platform 20 m high. It has a mass of 4 kg. The block has energy. Calculate it.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.

a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the
ycow [4]

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: F=m*a with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration a=\frac{F}{m}. Now a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2}) anda_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2}). Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2} and15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}, solving for the time we get:t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } } and t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } } with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get:\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }. Finally we get:\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } and replacing the values we have got:\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73} so 5.33*x=15-x so x=2.37 (meters).

How do theories differ from Laws and Principles?
g100num [7]
A scientific law is the simple mathematical expression of the relationship involved. A principle is the same relationship expressed in words. A theory is the explanation of the facts that make up the relationship.
