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>

Why cable color codes are important ? what if we use three phase cables without color
Degger [83]

Answer:

Cable color codes are very important for example, If something is not wired properly, it can result in injuries, deaths, fires, and many other problems. This is why there are well-established wire color codes to ensure those working with an around this type of equipment can ensure everything is wired safely and effectively. If we used three phase cables without color code, this can lead too incorrect things that might be a hazard too get not fix and learning new color codes would be hard therefore we should stick too the same color codes for cables and it saves the hassle for needing too check every cable cord color then the original one signed too it.

If we start with 48 g of a radioactive substance with a 2 hour 12 life, how much is left after two half-lives?
ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

 Half-life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half its original composition:

   Original mass = 48g

   Half- life  = 2hr

 

 After four half lives;

           Initially:                48g

    First halving                24

    Second halving          12

    Third halving               6

    Fourth halving             3

After second half life, we would have 12g

At fourth halving, we would have 3g

What kind of electromagnetic radiation could be used to see molecules
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

X ray

Explanation:

To see an object the light used must have the same or smaller wavelength than the object. The size of an atom is about 10^{10} m, smaller than the wavelength, therefore we'll need radiation with a shorter wavelength <em>since X-ray wavelengths are about the same size as atoms this characteristic makes it ideal to use.</em>

I hope you find this information useful nd interesting! Good luck!
