A Biologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia In one set of experimen

ts, they studied the maximum speed that quolls could run around a curved path without slipping. One quoll was running at 2.4 m/s around a curve with a radius of 1.6 m when it started to slip.
What was the coefficient of static friction between the quoll's feet and the ground in this trial?

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction = 0.37

Explanation:

At the point the the quoll slides, quoll attains its maximum velocity.

So Ne = (mv^2)/r ....equa 1

And N =mg....equ 2

Where N vertical force of qoull acting on the surface, e = coefficient of friction, m=mass, g=9.8m/s^2, r =radius =1.6m, v= max velocity of quill = 2.4m/s

Sub equ 2 into equ 1

Mge= (mv^2)/r ...equa3

Simplfy equ3

e = v^2/(gr)...equ 4

Sub figures above

e = 5.76/(9.8*1.6)

e = 0.37

What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to form a hardened slab of rock?
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>D. sill

A sill forms when hot magma squeezes between layers of rock to form a hardened sheet of rock. A sill is basically a tabular sheet intrusion between old layers of sedimentary rock, volcanic beds, or in the direction of foliation inherent in metamorphic rock. The word sill means a concordant intrusive sheet.</span>

An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Describe how substance move from one state to another
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The temperature rises until the water reaches the next change of state — boiling. As the particles move faster and faster, they begin to break the attractive forces between each otherand move freely as steam — a gas. The process by which a substance moves from the liquid state to the gaseousstate is called boiling.
