What are the units of the coefficient of friction?

Physics

The coefficient of friction has no units.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The coefficient of friction, just a measure of the relationship between normal forces when two bodies are in contact. It is a ratio-like quantity, where the numerator and the denominator are of same units. The coefficient of friction is a scalar.  

This is used to determine the frictional forces acting on the body, in physics. It is simply, the tangent of the angle of friction, and hence, has no units. Coefficient of friction reduces the object's speed, or supports to change the state of an object. It acts, only when the surface which is in contact with the body, is rough.

Review Conceptual Example 7 before starting this problem. A uniform plank of length 5.0 m and weight 225 N rests horizontally on
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

0.82 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight,w_1=225 N

Length,l=5 m

d=1.1 m

We have to find the distance x  for which person weighs 385 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just begins to tip.

Half length=\frac{l}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5 m

r=\frac{l}{2}-d=2.5-1.1=1.4 m

w_2=385 N

When system in equilibrium then

w_1r=w_2 x

225\times 1.4=385\times x

x=\frac{225\times 1.4}{385}

x=0.82 m

Magnetic field lines exit out of the . Magnetic field lines enter into the . Magnetic field lines travel around a bar magnet in
Airida [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field lines exit out of the North pole . Magnetic field lines enter into the South pole. Magnetic field lines travel around a bar magnet in closed loops.

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines shows the direction of a magnetic force and how it acts, it gives the direction of the magnetic field at that point in time.

For a bar magnetic, the magnetic field lines runs from the north pole to the south pole, i.e. it exits the north pole and enters into the south pole. This magnetic field lines also go through the magnet forming closed loops without ends.
