Answer:

The coefficient of  kinetic friction = 0.026  

Explanation:

An 56 kg sled is being pulled across the snow, at constant speed,by a horizontal force of 15 N.

Here we have to note that the weight is pulled at a constant speed . This means that the net force acting on the weight is zero.

The external force acting on the body is in the forward direction and the friction acts in the backward direction.

Friction increases as the mass of the body increases.

Friction = u_{k}\times m \times g

We now equate this to the external force of 15 N.

15 = u_{k} \times 56 \times 10

u_{k} = \frac{15}{560}

u_{k} = 0.026

The coefficient of  kinetic friction = 0.026

How does an increase in temperature generally affect the rate of a reaction?
Zigmanuir [339]

Most reactions are exothemic. If the forward reaction of an equilibrium reaction is exothemic then the reverse reaction must be endothermic.

If a system in equilibrium is heated, it will move in exothermic direction to give out heat energy.

If a 1000-pound capsule weighs only 165 pounds on the moon, how much work is done in propelling this capsule out of the moon's g
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

  W = 1,307 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Work is the product of force by distance, in this case it is the force of gravitational attraction between the moon (M) and the capsule (m₁)

              F = G m₁ M / r²

              W = ∫ F. dr

              W = G m₁ M ∫ dr / r²

we integrate

             W = G m₁ M (-1 / r)

                 

We evaluate between the limits, lower r = R_ Moon and r = ∞

           W = -G m₁ M (1 /∞ - 1 / R_moon)

            W = G m1 M / r_moon

Body weight is

             W = mg

             m = W / g

The mass is constant, so we can find it with the initial data

For the capsule

            m = 1000/32 = 165 / g_moon

            g_moom = 165 32/1000

            .g_moon = 5.28 ft / s²

I think it is easier to follow the exercise in SI system  

           W_capsule = 1000 pound (1 kg / 2.20 pounds)

           W_capsule = 454 N

           W = m_capsule g

           m_capsule = W / g

           m = 454 /9.8

           m_capsule = 46,327 kg

Let's calculate

          W = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 46,327   7.36 10²² / 1.74 10⁶

          W = 1,307 10⁶ J

A capacitor is connected to an AC generator. As the generator's frequency is increased, what happens to the current in the capac
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The current increases.

Explanation:

A capacitor can be defined as an electronic component used in electrical circuits to store charge temporarily.

A capacitor is connected to an AC generator. As the generator's frequency is increased, the current in the capacitor increases as well.

This ultimately implies that, when a capacitor is connected to an AC generator, the frequency of the circuit is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through it.
