Friction pulls directly against the direction of motion (at 180) of a sled, and does -55.2 J of work while the sled moves 8.98 m

. What is the magnitude (+) of the friction force?(unit=N)

The magnitude of the force of friction is 6.1 N

Explanation:

The work done by a force when moving an object is given by the equation:

W=Fd cos \theta

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem, we have:

W = -55.2 J (work done by the force of friction)

d = 8.98 m (displacement of the sled)

\theta=180^{\circ} (because the force of friction acts opposite to the direction of motion)

By solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the force of friction on the sled:

F=\frac{W}{d cos \theta}=\frac{-55.2}{(8.98)(cos 180^{\circ})}=6.1 N

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false
kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

List the three main things necessary to build an electromagnet.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Electromagnets are special types of magnets that are made by passing current through coils of wire. To make an electromagnet, the minimum requirements are:

1. A nail (usually made of iron, steel or zinc)

2. Dry cell batteries

3. Wire (Usually copper wire)

Other things could be:

1. Electric tape to hold both ends of the wire properly at the battery terminals.

2. Scissors to cut the wire into desired length.

3. Iron fillings for testing purposes.

What happens to the temperature during an endothermic reaction? ANSWERS; The temperature stays constant. The temperature will de
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

  • For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
  • The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
  • The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.
