fessor drives off with his car (mass 840 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.41 kg) off the roof. The coefficient of

static friction between the mug and the roof is 1.1, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4. What is the maximum acceleration of the car, so the mug does not slide off

Answer:

Acceleration =4.42m/s^2

Explanation:

As the mug is not sliding on the car roof ,there must be static friction between the car and the mug. The maximum limit of static friction that can act is given by:

Kmg

Where I is coefficient of static friction between car roof and mug

m = mass of mug

g= acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration of the car= Kmg

Acceleration = 1.1 × 0.41 × 9.8 =4.42m/s

Answer:

10.791 m/s^2

Explanation:

Solution:

- As the mug is not sliding on the car roof , there will be static friction between car and mug.

- The maximum limit of static friction that can act is given by = k*m*g

- Where, k = coefficient of static friction between the mug and the roof

              m = mass of mug

              g = acc. due to gravity

- So the maximum acc. of car ,

                                     (m*a = k*m*g)

                                     a = k*g

- Therefore max. a = 1.1*g = 1.1*9.81 = 10.791 m/s^2

The equation below is for potassium oxide.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

What are visible colors of light has the longest wavelength?
sasho [114]

Answer:

Red has the longest wavelength among all the visible colors of light.

Explanation:

Visible light is the only electromagnetic radiations which can be seen by human eye.  When white visible light passes through a prism it breaks down into 7 distinctive colors of rainbow.

These are red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet.

Red has the longest wavelength of around 700 nano meters with violet has the shortest wavelength of 380 nano meters.

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a lightbulb if the voltage increase but the resistance stay the same?
artcher [175]

The first question is how much of a voltage increase are we looking at. If it has a 110 voltage rating and you put it across a 220 source, you will see one flash and then the bulb is no more. Nothing will revive it.

If it is rated at 110 and you put 130 across it, there's no problem but the bulb will burn out sooner than it would if you just put 110 across it.

So you raise the voltage and the resistance stays the same, the current will increase. That's why it will burn out sooner.

V = I * R

The equation is a direct variation. If the voltage goes up the current goes up. If the voltage goes down, the current goes down providing that the resistance stays the same in both cases.

The second question is what is resistance? Resistance in Electricity is the ability of an electric current to go in one direction freeing up as many electrons as it can. The MORE free electrons, the lower the resistance. The FEWER free electrons the higher the resistance.

Here' the kicker. Ready? More and Less are probably the two most important words in beginning science.

The <u><em>More</em></u> the resistance, the <em><u>Less</u></em> the current flow. That's a really important consideration in battery drain in a watch (or modern day calculator). The More the Battery Drain, the Less time it will last.

Always be careful when more and Less are around.
