he toy is 8.0 N, what is the coefficient of sliding friction between the toy and the floor?
a. 0.25
b. 1.0
c. 4.0
d. 0.40

Since toy is moving at constant speed that means that force that child is applying on toy is equal to force of friction.

Rate of speed that toy is moving is irelevant.

childs force is:
Fc = 2N
Fc = Ff  (Ff -friction force)

Ff = a*Q

where Q is weight of the toy and a is friction

if we express a we get
a = F/Q = 2/8 = 0.25

Answer:

a. 0.25

Explanation:

The toy is moving across the floor at constant velocity - this means that its acceleration is zero.

According to Newton's second law, this means that the net force acting on the toy is zero:

F_{net}=ma=0 (1)

because a=0.

The net force, in this case, consists of two forces acting in opposite directions:

- The applied force, F = 2.0 N

- The frictional force, F_f = -\mu (mg)

where \mu is the coefficient of sliding friction and (mg)=8.0 N is the weight of the toy.

Therefore, the equation of the forces (1) becomes:

F+F_f = 0\\F-\mu (mg)=0\\\mu = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{2.0 N}{8.0 N}=0.25

Find the y-component of this
Alborosie

Answer:

-0.0789 m

Explanation:

Recall that the y-component comes associated with the sin(18.4) through the following trigonometric relationship:

y = 0.250 sin(-18.4) ≈ -0.0789 m

Notice it is negative since it is below the x-axis.

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

What is the volume of a cone with a height of 27 cm
JulijaS [17]

Explanation:

→ Volume of cone = πr² × h/3

Here,

  • Radius (r) = 13 cm
  • Height (h) = 27 cm

→ Volume of cone = π(13)² × 27/3 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 169π × 9 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 1521π cm³

→ Volume of cone = 1521 × 22/7 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 33462/7 cm³

→ <u>Volume of cone = 4780.28 cm³</u>

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster
vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of \dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.
