The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

What is the wavelength of microwaves of 3.0 X 10^9 Hz frequency?
GarryVolchara [31]
Given,

Frequency of microwaves = 3 x 10^9 Hz

We know that,

Velocity (c) = Frequency x Wavelength
Velocity of light (c) = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Therefore,

Wavelength = Velocity ÷ Frequency = (3 x 10^8) ÷ (3 x 10^9) = 0.1 m

A force of 62 N acts on a 35 kg object for 10.0s. What is the objects change in momentum?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Δp = 620 N.s

Explanation:

  • Newton's second law, was originally conceived  as follows:

       F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}  (1)

  • In this way, a net force applied on an object, is equal to the rate of change of the momentum of the object regarding time.

       for m= constant, it reduces to F= m*a.

  • Replacing in (1) F= 62 N, and Δt = 10.0 s, we can solve for Δp (object's change in momentum) , as follows:

       \Delta p = F* \Delta t = 62 N* 10.0 s = 620 N*s  (2)

List one way to take advantage of creating even more kinetic energy on this particular technologically advanced field
lisabon 2012 [21]

Kinetic energy can be used to develop electric energy which can be used as electricity.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The kinetic energy can be harnessed; much like some hydro power technologies harness water movement. A way to convert this kinetic energy into electric energy is through piezoelectric. By applying a mechanical stress to a piezoelectric crystal or material an electric current will be created and can be harvested.

Kinetic energy is also generated by the human body when it is in motion. Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.
