F=ma
F= 4x1.2
F= 4.8 N

F= 4gsin30 - Friction
Friction= 19.6 - 4.8 N
Friction= 14.8 N

Friction= u x 4gcos30
14.8 / 4gcos30 = u
u= 0.43596...
u= 0.44

coefficient is 0.44

The amount of WORK done is determined by 2 factors.
RUDIKE [14]

Explanation :

Work is done when a force is applied to create a displacement on an object.

Thus, the work done depends on the two factors i.e.

(1) Applied force (F)

(2) Distance or displacement (d)

Mathematically, work done is W= F.s

It also depends on the angle between the force and the displacement.

        W=Fs\ cos\ \theta

For example,

A person carries a weight of 20 kg and lifts it on his head 1.5 m above the surface. So, the work done by him on the luggage will be:

W= F\times s

or

W=m\times g \times s

W=20\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.5\ m

So, W=294\ Joules

Hence, the work done by him on the luggage is 294 Joules.

What is the kinetic energy of an object moving 40m/s with a mass of 20kg?
Svet_ta [14]
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = 16,000 Joules

What can one say for sure about element #99, Einsteinium (Es))? a) There's no such element! b) It is an alkali metal. c) It is r
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Einsteinium is an element of the periodic table grouped in the Actinide series, with atomic number 99. They are dense element and highly electro-positive. <u>They are highly radioactive</u>, i.e the atoms within the element are unstable and constantly decay until they reach a stable environment. It has 99 number of electrons and protons, 153 number of neutrons.

Due to its high radioactivity, they are health hazardous and can used in making nuclear weapons but their uses are very limited and unknown.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.
