Answer:

The force of friction that acts on him is

F_k=567N

Explanation:

The firefighter with an acceleration of 3m/s^2 take the gravity acceleration as 10m/s^2 isn't necessary to know the coefficient of friction just to know the force of friction:

F=m*a

F=F_w-F_k

m*a=F_w-F_k

F_w=81kg*10m/s^2=810N

Sole to Fk

81kg*3m/s^2=810N-F_k

F_k=810N-243N

F_k=567N

6. A warehouse employee is pushing a 15.0 kg desk across a floor at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. How much work must the employe
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

7.5 J

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we need to determine the energy that will bring about the speed of 1 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Velocity (v) = 1 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½mv²

E = ½ × 15 × 1²

E = ½ × 15 × 1

E = ½ × 15

E = 7.5 J

Therefore, to change the speed to 1 m/s, the employee must do a work of 7.5 J.

In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is 10.0 grams. The total mass of the products must be:
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: exactly 10.0 grams.

Explanation: The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the total mass of the reactants must be the same as the total mass of the products.

What three assumptions about particles in a gas are made by the kinetic theory?
aliya0001 [1]

The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that: (1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact; and (3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat.

Why would a rocket fall vertically downwards if it was launched vertically upwards​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

It would because the shape of the rocket is designed to be able to slice through the air as smooth as possible and now you may be thinking that air is already smooth but when you try to push something as large and heavy like a rocket then the shape of the rocket will be very important. The bottom of the rocket is flatter then the top so it is not designed to fly smoothly through the air. So the rocket would fall vertically downward(If it was still in one piece)because of it's shape. It is easier for the top of the rocket to go smoothly through the air then the bottom.

Explanation:

I am 90% sure this is correct but if I'm not please tell me
