Maximum friction force= 249 N
Normal reaction force=206.3*10=2063 N
Maximum friction force=coefficient of friction*normal reaction force
Maximum friction force/normal reaction force=coefficient of friction
Coefficient of friction=249/2063=0.121

An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. How much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t
notsponge [240]

Answer:

<h2>b) 4230 J </h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

extension= 40cm

Spring constant K= 52.9N/cm

Step two:

Required

the Kinetic Energy KE

the expression to find the kinetic energy is

KE= 1/2ke^2

substituting our data we have

KE= 1/2*52.9*40^2

KE=0.5*52.9*1600

KE= 42320Joules

<u>The answer is b) 4230 J </u>

A particle moves along the x axis from the origin. The magnitude of the position vector at time t is
Maurinko [17]

1) The average velocity is -2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2) The instantaneous velocity is 64t-260t^3

Explanation:

1)

The average velocity of an object is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

where t is the time.

The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is

x(6) = 32(6)^2 - 65(6)^4=-83,088 m

While the position at time t = 12 sec is

x(12)=32(12)^2-65(12)^4=-1,343,232 m

So, the displacement is

d=x(12)-x(6)=-1,343,232-(-83,088)=-1,260,144 m

And therefore the average velocity is

v=\frac{-1,260,144 m}{12 s- 6 s}=-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2)

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.

The position vector is

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:

v(t) = x'(t) = 2\cdot 32 t - 4\cdot 65 t^3 = 64t - 260 t^3

Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.

A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor that has a very small capacitance. what can we say about
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.

The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)

The capacitance of a series combination is

             1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .

If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is   

             (product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals)  .

In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them  1000  and  1 .
Then the series combination is

           (1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)

        =       (1000) / (1001)

        =         0.999 000 999 . . . 

which is smaller than the smaller individual.

It'll always be that way.   </span>
