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!

Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies?
Arada [10]

Answer:

b. a large elliptical galaxy

Explanation:

In elliptical galaxies the stars are grouped in an elliptical shape, it has a low quantity of gas and dust in comparison to spiral galaxies, and its stars belong to an old population, there is not new stellar formation in it.

The stars orbit in a messy way which made to believe that they form from the merger of galaxies.

They are also really massive (around 10^{4} solar masses).

The most massive and luminous can be found in the center of cluster of galaxies.

A 3.0-A current is maintained in a simple circuit that consists of a resistor between the terminals of an ideal battery. If the
harina [27]

Answer:

R=2.78\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

The current flowing in the circuit, I = 3 A

The power of the battery, P = 25 W

We need to find the resistance of the battery. We know that the power of the battery is given by the formula as follows :

P=I^2R

Put all the values to find R.

R=\dfrac{P}{I^2}\\\\R=\dfrac{25}{(3)^2}\\\\R=2.78\ \Omega

So, the resistance is equal to 2.78\ \Omega.

If a system has 475 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kJ of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
Andrews [41]
First, we convert kcal to joules:
1 kcal = 4.184 kJ
475 kcal = 1987.4 kJ

Now, calculating the change in internal energy:

ΔU = Q + W; where Q is the heat supplied to the system and W is the work done on the system.

ΔU = -500 + 1987.4
ΔU = 1487.4 kJ
