A sled is pulled with a horizontal force of 18 n along a level trail, and the acceleration is found to be 0.39 m/s2. an extra ma

ss m = 4.5 kg is placed on the sled. if the same force is just barely able to keep the sled moving, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the trail?

From Newton's second law of motion, it is identified that the net force applied to the object with mass m, will make it move with an acceleration of a. This can be mathematically translated as,
                        F = m x a
To solve for the mass of the sled, we derive the equation above such that,
                        m = F / a
Substituting,
                       m = (18 N) / (0.39 m/s²)
                          m = 46.15 kg

Then, we add to the calculated mass the mass of the extra material.
                      total mass = 46.15kg + 4.5 kg
                       total mass = 50.65 kg
We solve for the normal force of the surface to the object by calculating its weight.
                     F₂ = (50.65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
                     F₂ = 496.41 N

The force that would allow barely a movement for the object is equal to the product of the normal force and the coefficient of kinetic friction.
                     F = (F₂)(c)
                      c = F/F₂

Substituting,
                      c = 18 N/496.41 N
                       c = 0.0362

<em>ANSWER: c = 0.0362</em>

Answer:

C. 900J (i tried my best)

Explanation:

the student's mass=60kg

gravitational field strength= 10N/kg:

1kg = 10N

60kg = 600N

(where 600N is the gravitational field strength of the student)

√1.5²+2² (pythagoras theorem)

=2.5m (the stairs' length)

work done= N x distance move in the direction of force (m)

=600N x 2.5m

=1500J @ Nm

1500J - 600N (gravitational field strength of the student)

=900J(??)

-correct me if i'm wrong i'm just a human :)

Answer:

Bullying in the schools has negative effects on individual students and on the school climate as a whole. Bullying can cause long-term problems for both the victims of bullying and the bullies themselves. To explore the effects of bullying on adolescents, we will define bullying, identify the characteristics of bullies and victims, outline the extent and consequences of bullying, and present resources for further information and assistance.

Bullying is any behavior that is initiated by one or more students against a victim or victims that causes physical or psychological intimidation. Bullying behaviors can be classified as either direct (such as teasing, threatening, hitting, or stealing) or indirect (such as rumor spreading or social isolation). Boys typically employed direct methods of bullying, while girls tend to use in direct methods. Either way, behaviors must occur repeatedly overtime to be classified as bullying.

Characteristics of Bullies and Victims

There are specific behaviors that bullies tend to exhibit. The bullies often need to feel powerful and in control. They may feel no remorse when they inflict injury and suffering on others. Bullies tend to defy authority and are likely to break school rules. They seem to have little anxiety and appear to possess high self-esteem. Students who come from homes characterized by physical punishment tend to be more likely to exhibit these types of behaviors.

Victims also tend to exhibit specific characteristics. They are often anxious, insecure, cautious, and have low self-esteem. Victims tend to be socially isolated, and may lack social skills and friends. Because they tend to be weaker than their peers, either physically or socially, victims rarely retaliate against bullies. Students who have close ties with their parents/guardians or who have overprotective parents/guardians are more likely to be victimized by bullies.

why does static electricity, the buildup of charge on a material's surface, occur in insulating material
likoan [24]
When rubbing two insulators together, electrons from one insulator will be transfered to the other. so the insulator that has just received electrons now has a negative charge as it has received more electrons (making it more negative) the insulator that has just lost electrons has just become positively charged. NEVER SAY THAT PROTONS HAVE BEEN TRANSEFERD.... EVER. ONLY ELECTORNS ARE TRANSFERED.
