Answer:

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, the net force is F = ma.

The equation for friction is F(k) = F(n) * μ.

In this case, the normal force is simply F(n) = mg due to no other external forces being specified

F(n) = mg = 15kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147N.

F(k) = F(n) * μ = 147N * 0.18 = 26.46N.

Assuming the object is on a horizontal surface, the force due to gravity and the normal force will cancel each other out, leaving our net force as only the frictional one.

Thus, F(net) = F(k) = ma

26.46N = 15kg * a

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases

AlekseyPX

Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.

If the pressure exerted on a 300.0 mL sample of hydrogen gas at constant temperature is increased from 0.500 kPa to 0.750 kPa, w

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

200 mL

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 300 mL

Initial pressure, P₁ = 0.5 kPa

Final pressure, P₂ = 0.75 kPa

We need to find the final volume of the sample if pressure is increased at constant temperature. It is based on Boyle's law. Its mathematical form is given by :

$V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

V₂ is the final volume

$V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{300\times 0.5}{0.75}\\\\V_2=200\ mL$

So, the final volume of the sample is 200 mL.

Answer:

30.0625 W

Explanation:

325 g/h x (1h x 1kg)/(3600s x 1000g) x 3,33 x 10^5 J/Kg = 30.0625 J/Kg = 30.0625 W
