Answer:

The coefficient friction

μ = 0.11

Explanation:

To find the coefficient of kinetic can be find using conserved energy equations and knowing the friction force is

fk = μ * N

Now to determine use the equation

Wf = ¹/₂ * m * v² = ¹/₂ * 17 kg * 2.5² m / s = 53.125 J

We = 24.0 N * cos (0) * 9.4 m = 225.6 J

Wt = Wf - We = 53.125 J - 225.6 J = - 172.475 J

Wt = fk * d

fk = Wt / d = 18.35 N

Now to find the coefficient μ'

N = m * g = 17 kg * 9.8  m/s² = 166.6 N

μ = fk / N

μ =  18.35 N / 166.6 N

μ = 0.11

Two 4.952 cm by 4.952 cm plates that form a parallel-plate capacitor are charged to +/- 0.576 nC. What is the electric field str
horrorfan [7]

In order to solve this question, we will need to know the E-field of a capacitor

E = sigma/epsilon naught

To find sigma (charge density), we will need to divide the total charge by the area

sigma = (.576 x 10^-9)/(4.952x10^-2)^2 = 2.34 x 10^-7

E = 2.34 x 10^-7/ (8.85x10^-12) = 26541.04 V/m

Car mass of 1167 kg accelerates on a flat highway from 10.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. how much work does thr car's engine do on the car ?
jolli1 [7]
For the work-energy theorem, the work done by the engine on the car is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the car:
W= K_f-K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 -  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2
where m=1167 kg is the mass of the car, v_i=10.0 m/s is the initial speed and v_f=28.0 m/s is the final speed.

Putting numbers into the equation, we find:
W= \frac{1}{2}(1176 kg)(28.0m/s)^2- \frac{1}{2}(1167 kg)(10.0 m/s)^2=4.0 \cdot 10^5 J

A gas in a closed container is heated with 10J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 2m with 3N of force. What is
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

For this problem, use the first law of thermodynamics. The change in energy equals the increase in heat energy minus the work done.

ΔU=Q−W

We are not given a value for work, but we can solve for it using the force and distance. Work is the product of force and displacement.

W=FΔx

W=3N×2m

W=6J

Now that we have the value of work done and the value for heat added, we can solve for the total change in energy.

ΔU=Q−W

ΔU=10J−6J

ΔU=4J

Answer is 4J

i think this may help you very much
