Kinetic and static friction are both resistive forces

Both static and kinetic friction are resistive forces.they act against movement or attempted movement between 2 surfaces that are in contact,proportional to the normal force between the 2 objects and their strength depends also on a coefficient of friction,which is unique for any two materials in contact.

How far away is Earth from the Sun?

Snowcat [4.5K]

d. 93 billion miles

Earth, being the third planet from the sun is unique in the universe because it is currently the only planet known to support life. Earth's distance from the sun is really one of the key reasons why it is has widespread life.Earth occupies what scientists sometimes call the Goldilocks zone. Its distance from the sun means its neither too hot nor too cold to support liquid water. Water is thought to be a key ingredient for life. The energy from the sun in just the right intensity and the availability of water on the earth make it possible for life to thrive on earth. Plants use both these resources for photosynthesis and make nutrients that are available to support the life of animals on the earth.

9. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs? (2 points)

konstantin123 [22]

The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at

ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

A 4 kg rock is dropped from 5 m. There is no friction. What kind of energy does is have before? What kind of energy does it have

denpristay [2]

1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:
$E=U+K$
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to
$E_i=U=mgh$
where $m=4 kg$ is the mass, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration and $h=5 m$ is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy
$U=mgh=(4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=196.2 J$

2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:
$E_f=K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:
$K=U=196.2 J$

3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
$W=196.2 J-0 J=196.2 J$
