Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

he road, but then he returned to pavement. The road then turned into a gravel road. Which best describes the frictional force of his trip?
a. Friction increased when he went from pavement to ice and then decreased two more times.
b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.
c. Friction increased when he went from pavement to ice and then decreased one additional time.
d. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased one additional time.

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

F_{f} = -\mu N

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of N will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.

A mass of 3.0 kg rests on a smooth surface inclined 34° above the horizontal. It is kept from sliding down the plane by a spring
azamat

Answer:

The spring stretched by x = 13.7 cm

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 3 kg

k = 120 \frac{N}{m}

Angle \theta = 34°

From the free body diagram

Force acting on the box = mg sin\theta

⇒ F = 3 × 9.81 × \sin34

⇒ F = 16.45 N ------- (1)

Since box is attached with the spring so a spring force also acts on the box.

F_{sp} = k x

F_{sp} = 120 x -------- (2)

The net force acting on the body is given by

F_{net} = ma

Since acceleration of the box is zero so

F_{net} = 0

F - F_{sp} = 0

F = F_{sp}

Put the values from equation (1) & (2) we get

16.45 = 120x

x = 0.137 m

x = 13.7 cm

Therefore the spring stretched by x = 13.7 cm

A thin spherical shell with radius R1 = 4.00 cm is concentric with a larger thin spherical shell with radius R2 = 6.00 cm . Both
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The right response will be "450 volts".

Explanation:

The given values are:

R1 = 4.00 cm

R2 = 6.00 cm

q1 = +6.00 nC

q2 = −9.00 nC

As we know,

The potential difference between the two shell's difference will be:

⇒  \Delta V=K[(\frac{q1}{R1}+\frac{q2}{R2})-(\frac{q1}{R1} +(\frac{q2}{R2}))]

           =K[\frac{q1}{R2}-\frac{q1}{R1} ]

On substituting the values, we get

           =(9\times 10^9)[\frac{6\times 10^{-9}}{0.04}-\frac{6\times 10^{-9}}{0.06}]  

       Δ =450 \ volts

A 3,000-N force gives an object an acceleration of 15 m/s^2. The mass of the object is
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

According to the second Newton's Law,

<em>✔ We have : F = m x a ⇔ m = F/a </em>

  • m = 3000/15
  • m = 200 kg

The mass of the object is therefore 200 kg.
