What is the coefficient of friction between the skates and the ice?

Physics

The coefficient of friction is 0.051

Explanation:

The motion of the skater is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

where:

v = 0 is the final velocity of the skater (he comes to a stop)

u = 10.0 m/s is his initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s=1.0\cdot 10^2 m = 100 m is the distance he travels before stopping

Solving for a, we find the acceleration of the skater:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-10.0^2}{2(100)}=-0.5 m/s^2

We also know that the net force acting on the skater is the force of friction, therefore we can write (Newton's second law of motion):

F= ma = -\mu mg

where

-\mu mg is the force of friction

m is the mass of the skater

\mu is the coefficient of friction

a=-0.5 m/s^2 is the acceleration

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for \mu, we find the coefficient of friction:

\mu = -\frac{a}{g}=-\frac{-0.5}{9.8}=0.051

konstantin123 [22]

I = V / R

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (500 V) / (250 ohms)

Current = (500/250) Amperes

Describe the process of how a bill becomes a law in at least 4-5 sentence
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Step 1: A Bill Is Born

Anyone may draft a bill; however, only members of Congress can introduce legislation, and, by doing so, become the sponsor(s). The president, a member of the cabinet or the head of a federal agency can also propose legislation, although a member of Congress must introduce it.

Step 2: Committee Action

As soon as a bill is introduced, it is referred to a committee. At this point the bill is examined carefully and its chances for passage are first determined. If the committee does not act on a bill, the bill is effectively "dead."

Step 3: Subcommittee Review

Often, bills are referred to a subcommittee for study and hearings. Hearings provide the opportunity to put on the record the views of the executive branch, experts, other public officials and supporters, and opponents of the legislation.

Step 4: Mark up

When the hearings are completed, the subcommittee may meet to "mark up" the bill; that is, make changes and amendments prior to recommending the bill to the full committee. If a subcommittee votes not to report legislation to the full committee, the bill dies. If the committee votes for the bill, it is sent to the floor.

Step 5: Committee Action to Report a Bill

After receiving a subcommittee's report on a bill the full committee votes on its recommendation to the House or Senate. This procedure is called "ordering a bill reported."

Step 6: Voting

After the debate and the approval of any amendments, the bill is passed or defeated by the members voting.

Step 7: Referral to Other Chamber

When the House or Senate passes a bill, it is referred to the other chamber, where it usually follows the same route through committee and floor action. This chamber may approve the bill as received, reject it, ignore it, or change it.

Step 8: Conference Committee Action

When the actions of the other chamber significantly alter the bill, a conference committee is formed to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions. If the conferees are unable to reach agreement, the legislation dies. If agreement is reached, a conference report is prepared describing the committee members' recommendations for changes. Both the House and Senate must approve the conference report

Step 9: Final Action

After both the House and Senate have approved a bill in identical form, it is sent to the president. If the president approves of the legislation, he signs it and it becomes law. Or, if the president takes no action for ten days, while Congress is in session, it automatically becomes law.If the president opposes the bill he can veto it; or if he takes no action after the Congress has adjourned its second session, it is a "pocket veto" and the legislation dies.

Step 10: Overriding a Veto

If the president vetoes a bill, Congress may attempt to "override the veto." If both the Senate and the House pass the bill by a two-thirds majority, the president's veto is overruled and the bill becomes a law.
