Physics
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago

<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of the brick as 3 kg
  • The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

  • We need to importantly note that;
  • For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
  • That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

      F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N

A Blu-ray disc is approximately 11 centimeters in diameter. The drive motor of a Blu-ray player is able to rotate up to 10,000 r
stepladder [879]

Answer:

the maximum angular speed (in radians per second) of a Blu-ray disc as it rotates is 57.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given information:

diameter of the disc, d  = 11 cm, r = 5.5 cm = 0.055 m

angular speed ω = 10000 rev/min = (10000 rev/min)(2π rad/rev)(1/60 min/s)

                             = 1000π/3 rad/s

to calculate the maximum angular speed we can use the following formula

ω = v/r

v = ωr

  = (1000π/3)(0.055)

  = 57.6 m/s

An object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34
Travka [436]

The initial position of the object was found to be 134.09 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As displacement is the measure of difference between the final and initial points. In other words, we can say that displacement can be termed as the change in the position of the object irrespective of the path followed by the object to change the path. So

Displacement = Final position - Initial position.

As the final position is stated as -55.25 meters and the displacement is also stated as -189.34 meters. So the initial position will be

Initial position of the object = Final position-Displacement

Initial position = -55.25 m - (-189.34 m) = -55.25 m + 189.34 m = 134.09 m.

Thus, the initial position for the object having a displacement of -189.34 m is determined as 134.09 m.
