Everything is absorbing energy; Good emitters of radiant energy are also good absorbers-
poor emitters are poor absorbers

A boy pulls a wagon with a force of 6 N east as another boy pushes it with a force of 4 N east. What is the net force?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
The net force with be 10 N east. As both boys are pushing a wagon to the same direction, you just add the numbers together. If the directions were opposite like if it was the boy pushing 6 N east and the other boy pushing 4 N west...then it would come out as 2 N east (you subtract and go to the direction with the biggest number) if you have any confusions, feel free to ask

A car slams on the brakes to stop. The road pushes back up on the car with a normal force of 12,750 N and friction from the brak
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

\displaystyle \mu_d=0.75

Explanation:

Coefficients of Friction

Objects in physical contact produce friction which usually manifests as thermal energy being dissipated in the surface where the objects are interacting. It's usually harder to start to move an object from rest, that keeps moving it at a constant speed on the same surface. That is why there are two different coefficients of friction: the static and the dynamic. As mentioned, the static coefficient \mu_s is greater than the dynamic coefficient \mu_d. The car is already moving and is attempting to stop. The coefficient of friction is defined as

\displaystyle \mu_d=\frac{F_r}{N}

Where Fr is the force of friction and N is the normal or the force the road pushes back up on the car. With the given data, we have

\displaystyle \mu_d=\frac{9,560\ N}{12,750\ N}

\displaystyle \boxed{\mu_d=0.75}

The coefficient of friction is dimensionless (doesn't have any units)

A neutral metal sphere is attracted to a positively-charged amber rod. Why does this occur?.
aniked [119]

Hi there!

A neutral metal sphere is comprised of both ELECTRONS and PROTONS.

Recall that electrons have a NEGATIVE (-) charge, and protons have a POSITIVE (+) charge.

Opposite charges attract, and like charges repel.

In this instance, the positively-charged rod will cause the electrons in the neutral metal sphere to move towards the side facing the rod (opposite charges attract), which causes the two to be attracted to one another.

A system does 506 kj of work, and loses 266 kj of heat to the surroundings. what is the change in internal energy of the system?
babunello [35]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system = -772kJ

Explanation:

Given :

Heat lost by the system , a = -266KJ

Workdone by the system, W = -506KJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Change in internal energy = q + w

Substituting values into the equation

Change in internal energy = (-266KJ) + (-506KJ)

Change in internal energy = -722KJ
