The 80.0-lb boy at a is suspended from the cable that passes over the quarter circular cliff rock. determine if it is possible f

or the 190-lb woman to hoist him up. the coefficient of static friction between the cable and the rock is μs = 0.2, and between the shoes of the woman and the ground μ′s= 0.8.

<span>Yes, it's possible to hoist the child up. Let's first determine the maximum amount of pull that the woman can exert. That will be the simple product of her weight and the coefficient of static friction with her shoes and the ground. So 0.8 * 190 = 152. So far, so good, since 152 is greater than the boy's 80 lbs. But the cable rubs at the cliff edge and that means that the lady has to pull harder. Let's see how much harder. There will be 80 lbs of tension on the cable, pressing against the cliff edge. So let's multiply by the coefficient of friction to get how much that is 0.2 * 80 = 16 So friction will take 16 lbs of effort to overcome. So the lady needs to pull with 80 + 16 = 96 lbs of force to move the boy. And since we've determined earlier that she can pull with up to 152 lbs of force, she can easily hoist the child up.</span>

Suppose you have a car with a battery that applies 12.5 V to the starter.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

R = 0.1 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 12.5 V

Current flowing in the car's starter, I = 125 A

We need to find the effective resistance of a car's starter. It can be calculated using Ohm's law. Let R is the resistance.

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12.5}{125}\\\\R=0.1\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the car's starter is 0.1 ohms.

IF YOUR GOOD AT SCIENCE THEN PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

A: Copper is a good conductor

Explanation:

For an electrical current to flow through something, the main power source has to fight against the resistivity. Copper wire has a very low level of resistivity making it an excellent conductor. Basically, copper is super bendy and flexible, electricity.

Fun fact, sinc humans are also super bendy and essentially big sacs of all things wet and watery, we're considered to also be excellent conductors. We also have very intricate circuitry and a lot of natural electricity so basically, we were made for it, especially since the body already used little bits of electricity to function.
