Positive because the ball is falling downwards.
Work done(Wd)= force x distance travelled in the direction of the force,
Wd=(2x9.8)x1.5

Kinetic friction is affected by the weight of the object. TrueFalse
hjlf

Answer;

The above statement is True

Kinetic friction is affected by the weight of the object.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Kinetic friction is a force that acts between moving surfaces. An object that is in motion over a surface experiences a force in the opposite direction to the direction of movement.
  • The equation for kinetic friction is given by the formula;

            F= coefficient of friction * Normal force.

  • Normal force is the force of the table pushing back on the block and can be calculated by formula;

              F = mass* acceleration due to gravity.

  • Therefore, the weight of an object determines its kinetic friction.

Density of solids What is your hypothesis (or hypotheses) for this experiment?.
valentina_108 [34]

I formulate a hypothesis based on their observations about what occurs when both the rock and the wood are submerged in water.

<h3 /><h3>What is density?</h3>

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is an important parameter in order to understand the fluid and its properties. Its unit is kg/m³.

The mass and density relation is given as

mass = density × volume

I study if the volume or density of items determines whether solid objects float or sink in water in this scientific inquiry I did the experiment of density, mass, and volume using a rock and a standard-shaped piece of wood.

It is critical that the chosen piece of wood is larger than the rock and that the rock be tiny enough to fit inside the measuring cylinder. I see both the rock and a chunk of wood.

Hence I formulate a hypothesis based on their observations about what occurs when both the rock and the wood are submerged in water.

To learn more about the density refers to the link;

A student claims that any object in motion must experience a force that keeps it in motion. Do you agree or disagree? Explain yo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

Option 4.
