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

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (For example, w
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b) q large and m small

Explanation:

q is large and m is small

We'll express it as :

q > m

As we know the formula:

F = Eq

And we also know that :

F = Bqv

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Bqv = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

or Eq = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Assume that you want a velocity selector that will allow particles of velocity v⃗  to pass straight through without deflection while also providing the best possible velocity resolution. You set the electric and magnetic fields to select the velocity v⃗ . To obtain the best possible velocity resolution (the narrowest distribution of velocities of the transmitted particles) you would want to use particles with q large and m small.

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

10 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.20 m

Similarly for y direction we have

y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

9.28 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.12 m

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 88 m long. The accident occurred on a rainy
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

distance d = 88 m

Kinetic friction = 0.42

We need to calculate the the speed of the car

Using  the work-energy principle

work done = change in kinetic energy

W=\Delta K.E

\mu\ mg\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=2\mu g d

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times0.42\times9.8\times88}

v=26.91\ m/s

Hence, The the speed of the car is 26.91 m/s.

When a 0.350-kg package is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The package is now di
AleksandrR [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

F=kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

k= \frac{F}{x}

k= \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}

k = 28.58N/m

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}

T = 0.685s

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s
