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).

As seen in the figure, a bullet with mass of 15.0-g is fired vertically and penetrates a block with mass of 2.5-kg and the block
rodikova [14]

Answer:

KE = 2.03 J

Explanation:

After impact, the kinetic energy of the bullet+block will convert to potential energy

½mv² = mgh

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(0.00500) = 0.0981 m/s

conservation of momentum during the collision

0.015u + 2.50(0) = (2.50 + 0.015)(0.0981)

u = 16.4481 m/s

KE = ½mv² = ½(0.015)16.4481² = 2.0290499...

KE = 2.03 J

5 10 points Sanzida conducted an experiment that required a wire carrying a current to be wrapped around a metal core. When she
stellarik [79]

The current in the wire has created a magnetic field with its north pole at the top of the rod.  A magnetic field influences electric currents.

<h3>What is a magnetic field?</h3>

A magnetic field is a type of field that influences the position and direction of the electric current.

The magnetic field also refers to the one where magnetic forces act to shape an electrical current.

The only material and/or body capable of altering an electrical current in a magnetic field is the presence of another magnetic field.
