Before hanging new William Morris wallpaper in her bedroom, Brenda sanded the walls lightly to smooth out some irregularities on

the surface. The sanding block weighs 2.30 N and Brenda pushes on it with a force of 3.00 N at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the vertical, and angled toward the wall. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wall and the block?

To solve the exercise it is necessary to apply the equations necessary to apply Newton's second law and the concept related to frictional force.

An angle of 30 degrees is formed on the vertical at an applied force of 2.3N

In this way the frictional force, opposite to the movement will be given by

f_k = \mu_k N

where,

\mu_k = Kinetic friction constant

N = Normal Force (Mass*gravity)

The friction force is completely vertical and opposes the rising force of 2.3 N. The Normal force acts perpendicular to the surface (vertical) therefore corresponds to the horizontal component of the applied force.

The ascending force would be given by

F_v = 2.3N*Cos30 = 1.99N

As the block is moving upward, the friction force acts downward, also its weight acts downward. We can have

2.3N+f_k = 1.99N

f_k = 0.31N

Considering the horizontal force the normal force on the block must be balanced by the horizontal component of pishing foce

N = 2.3sin30

N = 1.15N

Then the frictional force

f_k = \mu_k N

0.31N = \mu_k 1.15

\mu_k = \frac{0.31}{1.15}

\mu_k =0.26

Therefore the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
kow [346]
The density would decrease because the mass of an object deals with the amount of atoms in the object and since none of the object was reduced "a" wouldn't be the answer. Depending on the amount and period of time that the heat is applied the liquid could change into a gas so "d" wouldn't be correct. Density is the mass÷ volume, and when you add heat to an object it could take up different amounts of space because of its particles gaining energy and spreading apart. So the density would decrease because of the volume increasing. So I believe that "c" is the answer.

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

Which material is more closely related to the styrofoam? a. heat exchanger b. diffuser c. insulator d. electrical conductor
nirvana33 [79]

The material that is more closely related to the Styrofoam insulator.

Styrofoam is the term that is used for polystyrene foam in a trademark form. It is a petroleum-based plastic.

Keeping something warm includes the stopping of the transfer of heat from one object to another. This is how insulation works.

Styrofoam is an insulator, which means it'll help keep the heat from the environment out of your cooler. However, you'll still need cooling agents (like ice packs) to make the cooler cold in the first place.

Styrofoam is usually made mostly of air, which means it is a poor conductor of heat, but an excellent convector. It traps the air in small pockets, which blocks the flow of heat energy. This reduces both conduction and convection and makes Styrofoam a good insulator.

Question 23
bonufazy [111]

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
