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).

Answer:A) 19.8 seconds

B) 467.5 metres

Explanation: 100km/hr = 27.78m/s

So, it covers 27.78 metres in one second

Take the time it would cover 550m as x

Therefore 27.78m = 1second

550m = x

Cross multiplying

27.78x = 550m

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

x = 550÷27.78

x = 19.8seconds

B) distance = speed × time

Speed = 85km/hr = 23.61m/s

Time = 19.8seconds

Therefore,

Distance = 23.61 × 19.8

Distance = 467.5m

A 500 μF capacitor is wired in series with a 5 V battery and a 20 kΩ resistor. What is the voltage across the capacitor after 20
liq [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is a question relating to charging of capacitor . For charging of capacitor , the formula is as follows.

Q = CV ( 1 - e^{-\lambda\times t} )

λ = 1/CR , C is capacitance and R is resistance.

= 1/(500 x 10⁻⁶ x 20 x 10³ )

= .1

λ t = .1 x 20

λ t = 2

CV = 500 X 10⁻⁶ X 5

= 2500 X 10⁻⁶ C

Q = 2500 x 10⁻⁶ ( 1 - e^{-2} )

= 2500 x 10⁻⁶ x .86566

= 2161.66 μ C .

voltage = Charge / capacitor

2161.66 μ C  / 500μ F

= 4.32 V

An electromagnetic flowmeter is useful when it is desirable not to interrupt the system in which the fluid is flowing (e.g. for
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<em>2 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as

E = Blv

where E is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V

l is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m

v is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?

B is the magnetic field = 0.120 T

substituting, we have

2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x v

2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x v

v = 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>
