The force pressing two stacked objects together is equal to the weight of the object on top. The friction between a piece of woo

d on a stone surface is 22.5 newtons. The same piece of wood is placed on another surface, and the friction between the wood and the surface is now 46.5 newtons.
What could be the second surface?

A) metal
B) concrete
C) brick
D) skin

Answer: B. Concrete

Explanation:

Let N = reacting force pressing the bodies in context together (units in Newtons),

The question stated that the force pressing the two mounted/stacked objects together is equal to the weight of the object on top.

We need to start by finding the weight of the piece of wood.

friction is given by

f = μN

The value of f is 22.5,

and from the chart reference the coefficient of friction between wood and stone, μ is 0.30.

22.5 = 75. 0.30

Putting the values into the equation: 22.5 = 0.30N.

Divide both sides by 0.30 to find the value of N:

N= 22.5/0.3 = 75

Now that the piece of wood will be placed on another surface, its weight of 75 Newton is the force pressing the two bodies together.

To determine the new surface, you should find the new coefficient of friction by using the new value of the force of friction given 46.5:

46.5 = µ(75).

Divide both sides by 75 to isolate μ.

The refer chart also indicates that the coefficient of friction equals 0.62 between wood and concrete, so the new surface corresponding to 0.62 is the concrete, which is (B).

adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

While in empty space, an astronaut throws a ball at a velocity of 11 m/s. what will the velocity of the ball be after it has tra
Aliun [14]
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

temperature change is 262.06°K

Explanation:

given data

mass = 0.07 kg

velocity = 258 m/s

to find out

what is its temperature change

solution

we know here

heat change Q is is equal to kinetic energy that is

KE = 0.5 × m× v²   ...........1

here m is mass and v is velocity

KE = 0.5 × 0.07 × 258²

KE = 2329.74 J

and we know

Q = mC∆t     .................2

here m is mass and ∆t is change in temperature and C is 127J/kg-K

so put here all value

2329.74 = 0.07 × 127 × ∆t

∆t = 262.06

so temperature change is 262.06°K

Why does the earth orbit the sun for 1 month
VikaD [51]
The Earth orbits the sun constantly, continuously, and all the time.  " 24/7/365 "

From the sun's point of view, it takes the Earth roughly 365 and 1/4 days
to make the complete trip, all the way around one time.  That's the length
of time that we call "one year".

When you talk about orbiting in one month, you're thinking of the moon
orbiting the Earth. THAT length of time is about 27.32 days.
