let the friction coefficient on dry ice and wet ice is different and given as

\mu_d = on dry ice

\mu_w = on wet ice

now by friction force formula we can say

F_f = -\mu mg

so the deceleration due to friction force is given as

a = -\mu g

now the deceleration due to friction force on both surface is given as

a_1 = -\mu_d * g

a_2 = -\mu_w * g

now the time to stop the two blocks can be calculated by kinematics

v_f - v_i = a t

0 - v_0 = -\mu_d * g * t_d

t_d = \frac{v_0}{\mu_d* g}

also for other block on wet ice we can say similarly

t_w = \frac{v_0}{\mu_w*g}

now the ratio of two time on two surfaces is given as

\frac{t_d}{t_w} = \frac{\mu_w}{\mu_d}

so this is the ratio of time on two surfaces

A truck moves 30 km West, and then 40 km North, and then travels in a straight path back to its starting
SpyIntel [72]

Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero

What force must be used to do 224 Joules of work on an object over a distance of 32 meters?
cestrela7 [59]
7.625 Newtons

work = force× distance
Newtons is an accepted value for force

so take the total 224 joules and decide by distance 32 meters to find force in Newtons

What is the term that describes waves that require a medium through which to travel?
gladu [14]

Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.
