A 15kg penguin slips on a wet rock (rip I hope he's okay). The coefficient of friction between the penguin and the rock is .250.

What frictional force impedes the penguins motion? I NEED THE EQUATION AND THE SOLUTION PLEASE

That poor penguin :( so frictional force = coefficient*normal force. 15*9.8=147=normal force so 147*0.25=36.75=frictional force. And I'm pretty sure you would use the static coefficient as the question doesn't say the the penguin is already slipping, he slips (assuming he has just taken a step).

Two 1.9 kg masses are 1.1 m apart (center to center) on a frictionless table. Each has + 9.6 μC of charge.
Anni [7]

Answer:

F= 0.6 N

Explanation:

Fe(electrical force)=k q1q2/r^2

    k=9*10^9\\q1=-9.6 *10^-6 C\\q2= -9.6*10^-6 C\\r= 1.1m

So,    

        F=\frac{9*10^9*-9.6 *10^-6 C* -9.6*10^-6 C}{1.1^2}

         F= 0.6 N

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.
