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.

A sock stuck to the inside of the clothes dryer spins around the drum once every 2.0 s at a distance of 0.50 m from the center o
Rashid [163]

a) 1.57 m/s

The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is

T = 2.0 s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2.0}=3.14 rad/s

The linear speed of the sock is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular velocity

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock

Substituting, we find:

v=(3.14)(0.50)=1.57 m/s

B) Faster

In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:

r' = 2r = 1.00 m

At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:

\omega' = \omega = 3.14 rad/s

Therefore, the new linear speed would be:

v'=\omega' r' = \omega (2r)

And substituting,

v'=(3.14)(1.00)=3.14 rad/s = 2v

So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

real, inverted, and smaller than the object

Explanation:

When the object is placed beyond the center of curvature, the image will formed between the focus and the center of curvature. The size of the image is diminished and its nature is real and inverted.

The whole description is shown in the attached figure. It is clear that the size of the image is smaller than the object.

Frank does 2400J of work in climbing a set of stairs. If he does the work in 6 seconds, what is his power output?
timurjin [86]
Power = Work Done / Time taken

         Where Work Done is Joules, and Time is in Seconds, Power is in Watts

            = 2400 J / 6 seconds

            = 400 Watts

The power output is 400 Watts.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz
