You have developed a method in which a paint shaker is used to measure the coefficient of static friction between various object

s and a known surface. the shaker oscillates with a fixed amplitude of 40 mm , but you can adjust the frequency of the motion. you have affixed a horizontal tabletop (the known surface) to the shaker so that the tabletop oscillates with it. then you put an object on the tabletop and increase the frequency until the object begins to slip on the surface. part a if a frequency f = 1.75 hz is required before a penny positioned on the tabletop starts to slide, what is the coefficient of static friction between penny and tabletop?

So we want find the coefficient of friction, which comes from F = (mu)*N, where F is the force of static friction, mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force of the object. We can talk about how the penny would move after this force is reached with F = ma, where a is acceleration and m is the mass of the penny. The maximum acceleration of an oscillatory motion is a = Aω², where A is the amplitude and ω is the angular frequency. To turn ω into the regular frequency we're given, we can use ω = 2πf. Using this, our max acceleration becomes a = A(2πf)², which we can put into F=ma, so it becomes F = m(4Aπ²f²), then we can set it equal to F = (mu)N, so 4Amπ²f² = (mu)N. N, the normal force, will equal the weight force of the penny (draw a free body diagram), W = mg, where m is the mass of the penny and g is the gravitational constant (9.8m/s²). So N = W = mg, so we sub mg in for N, and we get 4Amπ²f² = (mu)mg, we solve for mu, cancelling our m's (good thing too since we don't know the mass of the penny) and we get mu = 4Aπ²f²/g, then we plug stuff in (convert mm to m by multiplying by 10⁻³) mu = 4(40*10⁻³)(3.14)²(1.75)²/(9.8) = 0.49 for our coefficient of friction. Lots of equations, but I hope that made sense!

Why are oxygen and hydrogen two of the most abundant elements in living things
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Oxygen and Hydrogen are the most abundant elements found in living beings because of their combination to form water together that builds the 70% of the living body, oxygen being used in respiration and Hydrogen being used to form other compounds as it has the simplest structure and least requirements to bond with other elements.

Explanation:

To build something, it's is important to start with the simplest formation and proceed to the complex ones. Same case applies on living beings. With the creation of all living bodies, two of the most abundant elements Hydrogen and Oxygen tends to volunteer in the formation of living bodies. Their simplest structure and least requirements to bond easily with other elements also make them suitable for the creation of living bodies.

Hydrogen consisting of only one proton and one neutron, easily collaborates with other elements and forms the complex compounds. Whereas, oxygen being processed under the respiration system, helps in developing important organs and compounds. And, most importantly not to forget point is that they both combine to make the significant compound of the living body i.e water. However, Carbon, Nitrogen and other traces are also present in the living beings but these two serve as the saviors of the war.

Green light (λ = 566 nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. Part A
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

755 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

D = distance of screen

=2.  m

d is width of slit = ?

wave length λ = 566 nm

Width of central maxima = 2 λD /d

= 3.00 x 10⁻² =2 λD /d

d=\frac{2\times566\times10^{-9}\times2}{3\times10^{-2}}

= 754.67 x 10⁻⁷ m .

= 755x 10⁻⁷ m

A series of processes on Earth’s surface and in the crust and mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another is called
amid [387]
A series of processes on Earth's surface and in the crust and in the mantle that slowly change rocks from one kind to another is called the rock cycle. This cycle is a group of changes. We all know that the rock has 3 kinds which are igneous rocks, the sedimentary rocks, and the metamorphic rocks. The igneous rocks in the rock cycle can change to the sedimentary rocks or to the metamorphic rocks. The sedimentary rocks can also change to the igneous rocks or to the metamorphic rocks. The metamorphic rocks can change to the igneous rocks or to the sedimentary rocks. All depends on the process it undergoes and the factors present to affect the change it undergoes.

When a particle vibrates and passes to the next vibration what happens?
kaheart [24]
Im not sure how detailed your answer is supposed to be but here it is: The particle that vibrates contains energy. That exact amount of energy is passed on to the next particle. This occurs because as you must know, energy is neither created nor destroyed. The same amount of energy contained in the vibration is simply passed on.
