Answer: 0.306
Explanation:
from the question we are given the following
mass of sled (m) = 50 kg
force (f) = 1.75 x 10^2 N = 175 N
distance (s) = 6 m
net work done on the sled = 1.50 x 10 ^2 N = 150 N
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2
coefficient of friction = μ
lets first calculate the frictional force (ff)
ff = μ x m x g = μ x 50 x 9.8 = 490 μ
work done on the slide by the applied force (W1)= f x s = 175 x 6 = 1050 j
work done on the slide by frictional force (W2) = ff x s = 490 μ x 6 = 2940μ j
now the net work done is the work done by the frictional force subtracted from the work done by the applied force
net work done = W1 - W2
150 = 1050 - 2940μ
2940μ = 1050 - 150
μ = 900 / 2940
μ = 0.306
We can only see the "Visible region" of Electromagnetic spectrum
Hope this helps!
A pendulum is not a wave.
-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.
-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.
-- Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.
-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.
If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) ,
you would end up with
Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz
Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ? That's pretty absurd.
This math is not applicable to the pendulum.
Yes, it is safe to be used at home as long as you are careful.
