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).

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Percentage change in tension is 3.8%

Explanation:

We have given initially frequency f_1 = 440 Hz

Let tension in the string at this frequency is T_1

Now second frequency is f_2=448.4Hz

Frequency in string is given by

f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

From the relation we can say that

\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}

\frac{440}{448.4}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}

{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}=1.038

Percentage change in tension is equal to

=\frac{T_2-T_1}{T_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}-1=(1.038-1)\times 100=3.8 %

So percentage change in tension is 3.8%

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a)  W=0, b) Work is negative, c) work is positive and scientific energy variation is positive, d)     the variation of the potential enrgy is negative,

e) total work is positive

Explanation:

Work in physics is defined by the scalar scalar product of force by displacement

          W = F. dx

The bold are vectors; this can be written in the form of the mules of the quantities

          W = F dx cos θ

where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

a) The normal force is perpendicular to the inclined plane which is perpendicular to the displacement, therefore the angle is

         θ = 90         cos 90 = 0

        W=0

In conclusion the work is zero

b) The friction force opposes the displacement whereby the angle is

       θ = 180      cos 190 = -1

        W = - fr d

Work is negative

c) To calculate the change in kinetic energy we use that the work is equal to the variation of the kinetic energy

            m g sin θ  L = ΔK

this magnitude is positive since the angle is zero cos 0 = 1

how the system starts from rest ΔK = Kf -K₀=  + Kf -0

work is positive and scientific energy variation is positive

d) change in potential energy

               The potential energy is is ΔU = Uf -U₀

we fix the reference system in the bases of the plane so Uf = 0

               ΔU = -U₀

         the variation of the potential enrgy is negative

e) The total work is formed by the work of the weight component, the work of the friction force

              W_Total = W_weight - W_roce

as the body moves down

              W_Total> 0

Therefore the total work is positive

26. Keenan found the mass of a book to be 4.56*10^ -2 kg . What is the mass of the book in milligrams?​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Taking into account the rule of three for the change of units, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

First of all, the rule of three is a mathematical tool that helps you quickly solve proportionality problems.

Having three known values ​​and one unknown, a proportional relationship is established between all of them in order to find the fourth term of the proportion.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases, so does the other; or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the rule of three is applied as follows, where a, b and c are known values ​​and x is the unknown to calculate:

a → b

c → x

So: x=\frac{cxb}{a}

Being 1 kg equivalent to 1000000 milligrams, In this case the rule of three is applied as follows: if 1 kg equals 1000000 milligrams, 4.56×10⁻² kg equals how many milligrams?

1 kg → 1000000 milligrams

4.56×10⁻² kg  → x

So:

x=\frac{4.56x10^{-2} kg x1000000 miligrams }{1 kg}

<u><em>x=45600 miligrams</em></u>

In summary, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel,and a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds of its travel

20miles / 5sec = 4miles /sec would be the average speed for the last 20 m

Explanation:

The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).

The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:

v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:

d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)

t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:

v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s

PLEASE GIVE BRAINIEST!! HOPE THIS HELPS
