A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt

We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>

Answer:

\mu_k = 0.47

Explanation:

As we know that the mass of the curator is

M = 145 kg

now the Force of kinetic friction on the curator is given as

F_k = \mu_k F_n

now we know that the normal force on the curator is counter balanced by the weight of the curator

so we can say

F_n = mg

F_n = (145)(9.8)

F_n = 1421 N

Now from above formula we have

668 = \mu_k (1421)

\mu_k = \frac{668}{1421}

\mu_k = 0.47

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.

Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q1=-4.00nC is located at x= .250 m and q2= 2.40 nC is at the x= -.300m
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

q₃=5.3nC

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the force exerted by the charges q₁ and q₂. To do this, we use the Coulomb's Law:

F= k\frac{|q_aq_b|}{r^{2} } \\\\\\F_{13}=(9*10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2} )\frac{|(-4.00*10^{-9}C)q_3|}{(.250m)^{2} } =576q_3N/C\\\\F_{23}=(9*10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2} )\frac{|(2.40*10^{-9}C)q_3|}{(.300m)^{2} } =240q_3N/C\\

Since we know the net force, we can use this to calculate q₃. As q₁ is at the right side of q₃ and q₁ and q₃ have opposite signs, the force F₁₃ points to the right. In a similar way, as q₂ is at the left side of q₃, and q₂ and q₃ have equal signs, the force F₂₃ points to the right. That means that the resultant net force is the sum of these two forces:

F_{Net}=F_{13}+F_{23}\\\\4.40*10^{-9} N=576q_3N/C+240q_3N/C\\\\4.40*10^{-6} N=816q_3N/C\\\\\implies q_3=5.3*10^{-9}C=5.3nC

In words, the value of q₃ must be 5.3nC.

A car moving with an intial velocity of 60m/s is brought to rest in 30 seconds calculate the acceleration
gregori [183]

Answer:

a = 2 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics, we must bear in mind that when a body is at rest its velocity is zero.

v_{f} = v_{i} - (a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 60 [m/s]

a = desacceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 30 [s]

Note: the negative sign of the above equation means that the car is slowing down, i.e. its speed decreases.

0 = 60 - (a*30)

a = 2 [m/s^2]

A rescue airplane is diving at an angle of 37o below the horizontal with a speed of 250 m/s. It releases a survival package when
igomit [66]

Answer:

796.2 m.

Explanation:

A sketch of the given question forms a right angled triangle with two given sides and a non included angle. Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Let the horizontal distance required be represented by x, so that;

Tan 37^{o} = \frac{600}{x}

0.7536 = \frac{600}{x}

⇒ x = \frac{600}{0.7536}

      = 796.1783

x = 796.2 m

Thus, the horizontal distance of the point of impact is 796.2 m.
