Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

$F_s = \mu_s N$

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

$F_k = \mu_k N$

now we know that

$\mu_k < \mu_s$

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

The collision between a hammer and a nail can be considered to be approximately elastic. estimate the kinetic energy acquired by

Setler [38]

Here we can use momentum conservation as in this type of collision there is no external force on it

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

now here we can say

$m_1 = 10 g$

$v_{1i} = 0$

$m_2 = 550 g$

$v_{2i} = 3.5 m/s$

now here we can say

$10*0 + 550 * 3.5 = 10 v_{1f} + 550 v_{2f}$

$192.5 = v_{1f} + 55 v_{2f}$

now by coefficient of restitution

for elastic collision we know that e = 1

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})$

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0 - 3.5$

now by solving the two equation

$56v_{2f} = 189$

$v_{2f} = 3.375 m/s$

also we know that

$v_{1f} = v_{2f} + 3.5 = 3.375 + 3.5 = 6.875 m/s$

so final speed of the nail is 6.875 m/s

How do the properties of an electromagnetic wave change as a result of increasing the period of the wave?

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields, described by maxwell's equations, the speed of the wave is called the speed of light

c = λ f

E = E cos (kx - wt)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

w = 2π f = 2π / T

Let's analyze what happens when the wave period decreases, angular velocity and frequency increase.

This increase in frequency is reflected with the Planck equation in wave energy

E = h f

Therefore the wave carries more energy and can lead to stronger interactions with matter.

In summary, as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase
