Answer:7.92 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of book m=1.83\ kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.442

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.240

To move the book, one need to overcome  the static friction  

Static friction F_s=\mu _sN

F_s=\mu _s\times 1.83\times 9.8

F_s=0.442\times 1.83\times 9.8

F_s=7.92\ N

After overcoming the Static friction , Force needed to move the block is

F_k=\mu _kN

F_k=0.240\times 1.83\times 9.8

F_k=4.30\ N

Find the range of projectile launched at the angle of 45 with an intial velocity of 25 m/s
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial Velocity (u) = 25 m/s

Range can be obtained using the relation :

Range = (u² * sin2θ) / g

g = 10m/s ; θ = 45

Range = [10² * sin2(45)] / 10

Range = [100 * 1] ÷ 10

Range = 10

The cylinder of gravity of cylinder is where
Elodia [21]

Explanation:

In uniform gravity it is the same as the centre of mass. For regular shaped bodies it lies at the centre of the that particular body. Hence for a cylinder centre of gravity lies at the midpoint of the axis of the cylinder.

We spend our lives in visible light without risks to our health. Yet exposure to UV waves in sunlight can cause skin cancer. Wha
Trava [24]
The correct answer is
<span>B) UV waves are higher frequency and carry more energy. 

In fact, UV waves have higher frequency than visible light. For comparison, visible light has frequency in the range 430-770 THz (</span>10^{12} Hz)<span>, while ultraviolets (UV) have frequency higher than these values (at the order of 1 PHz, </span>1\cdot 10^{15}Hz).

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is proportional to its frequency, according to the equation
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy, so UV waves carry more energy than visible light.

To test the performance of its tires, a car
yarga [219]

Answer:

0.43

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

There are friction forces in two directions: centripetal and tangential.  The centripetal acceleration is:

ac = v² / r

ac = (35 m/s)² / 564 m

ac = 2.17 m/s²

The total acceleration is:

a = √(ac² + at²)

a = √((2.17 m/s²)² + (3.62 m/s²)²)

a = 4.22 m/s²

Sum of forces:

∑F = ma

Nμ = ma

mgμ = ma

μ = a / g

μ = 4.22 m/s² / 9.8 m/s²

μ = 0.43
