Answer: 2.5N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of block (m) = 2kg

Coefficient of static friction (μs) = 0.4

Horizontal force applied to the block = 2.5N

The frictional force (Ff) between the block and the floor is :

First calculate the maximum static frictional force:

Frictional force = Coefficient of static friction(μs) × normal reaction(R)

Normal reaction(R) = mass × acceleration due to gravity (10m/s^2)

R = 2 × 10 = 20

Fmax = μs × R

Fmax = 0.4 x 20 = 8N

Here, since the applied force (2.5N) is less than maximum frictional force(8N).

The force of friction between the block and the floor will be equal to the applied force of 2.5N due its ability to adjust itself in other to ensure equilibrium.

The speed v of a sound wave traveling in a medium that has bulk modulus b and mass density ρ (mass divided by the volume) is v=b
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

As it is given that Bulk modulus  and density related to velocity of sound

v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}

by rearranging the equation we can say

B = \rho * v^2

now we need to find the SI unit of Bulk modulus here

we can find it by plug in the units of density and speed here

B = \frac{kg}{m^3} * (\frac{m}{s})^2

so SI unit will be

B = \frac{kg}{m* s^2}

SO above is the SI unit of bulk Modulus

Water enters a typical garden hose of diameter 0.016 m with a velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the exit velocity of water from the g
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v₂ = 306.12 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the volume flow rate of the water or any in-compressible liquid remains constant throughout motion. Therefore, from continuity equation, we know that:

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where,

A₁ = Area of entrance pipe = πd₁²/4 = π(0.016 m)²/4 = 0.0002 m²

v₁ = entrance velocity = 3 m/s

A₂ = Area of nozzle = πd₂²/4 = π(0.005 m)²/4 = 0.0000196 m²

v₂ = exit velocity = ?

Therefore,

(0.0002 m²)(3 m/s) = (0.0000196 m²)v₂

v₂ = (0.006 m³/s)/(0.0000196 m²)

<u>v₂ = 306.12 m/s</u>

A 5.0 kg object moving at 5.0 m/s. KE = mv2 times 1/2
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: KE = 62.5J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of object = 5kg

kinetic energy KE = ?

velocity of object = 5m/s

Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.

i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2

KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25

KE = 62.5J

Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.

In a particular metal, the mobility of the mobile electrons is 0.0033 (m/s)/(N/C). At a particular moment, the electric field ev
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

the average drift speed of the mobile electrons in the metal is 1.089 x 10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mobility of the mobile electrons in the metal, μ = 0.0033 (m/s)/(N/C)

the electric field strength inside the cube of the metal, E = 0.033 N/C

The average drift speed of the mobile electrons in the metal is calculated as;

v = μE

v =  0.0033 (m/s)/(N/C) x 0.033 N/C

v = 1.089 x 10⁻⁴ m/s.

Therefore, the average drift speed of the mobile electrons in the metal is 1.089 x 10⁻⁴ m/s.
