A forward horizontal force of 12n is used to pull a crate across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity. If the crate weighs
kow [346]

Explanation:

μ = coefficient of friction.

F = Frictional force = 12N

R = Normal reaction = mg = Weight = 240N

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8ms—²

μ = F/R

<em>μ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>0</em>

<em>μ </em><em>=</em><em> </em>¹/20

μ = 0.05

What happens when visible light strikes a surface?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Absorption: 

<span>If the wavelength of the light happens to match the distance between two electron levels in the material, it can be absorbed. Light disappears and its energy becomes part of the heat energy of the material. </span>

<span>Metals have so many free electrons that all wavelengths are absorbed -- they are opaque to xrays, visible light, radio waves, everything. </span>
<span>Pigments have specific electron gaps that absorb only the light of a specific wavelength, which we see as color </span>
<span>Transparent materials do not happen to have any gaps between electron levels that match any of the wavelengths of visible light. </span>

A block of mass 0.84 kg is suspended by a string which is wrapped so that it is at a radius of 0.061 m from the center of a pull
lora16 [44]

Answer:

E_l = 1.713 J

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of block is M_b = 0.84 kg

radius of block = 0.061 m

moment of inertia is 6.20 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2

D is distance covered by block = 0.65 m

speed of block is 1.705 m/s

From conservation of momentum  we have

M_b g D = \frac{1}{2} M_b v^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 +  E_{loss}

0.84 \times 9.81 \times 0.65 = \frac{1}{2}\times  0.84 \times 1.705^2 +\frac{1}{2} \times 6.2 \times 10^{-3} [\frac{1.705}{0.061}]^2 + E_l

solving for energy loss

E_l = 1.713 J

Why is it important to use the correct number of significant digits when
Pani-rosa [81]

A. To show how precise your measurements were

Explanation:

It is important to use the correct number of significant digits when reporting the results of an experiment because they show how precise measurement are.

  • Precision is the ability to reproduce a particular set of results in an experiment.
  • Every instrument have their precision level.
  • The precision levels shows to what extent the values obtained can be trusted..
  • Significant figures are not only important in recording measurements, they are also needed for calculations in science.
