Physics
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is, μ = 0.061

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the box, m = 50 kg

The force exerted by the person, F = 50 N

The time period of motion, t = 10 s

The frictional force acting on the box, f = 30 N

The normal force on the box, η = mg

                                                     = 50 x 9.8

                                                     = 490 N

The coefficient of friction,

                            μ = f/ η

                               = 30 / 490

                               = 0.061

Hence, the coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is, μ = 0.061

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

A)

For photon energy is given as:

E = hv

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}

E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})

<u>E = 4.96 x 10³ eV</u>

<u></u>

B)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV</u>

<u></u>

C)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV</u>

A 0.45-kilogram football traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second is caught by an 84-kilogram stationary receiver. if the fo
Troyanec [42]

Impulse = Change in momentum.  
The ball was moving with a momentum of 0.45 * 22 = 9.9  
The ball comes to rest in the receivers arm; this means the ball's final velocity = 0. So mv2 = 0.45 * 0  
The magnitude of the impact is just the change in momentum. 9.9 - (0.45 * 0) = 9.9

Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because
mote1985 [20]
<span>The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

</span><span>a. they are so small that they stay close to the ground due to the attractive properties of charged soil particles.

b. they are easily carried by the wind.

c. they easily dissolve in liquid droplets.

d. it is easier for then to roll along the small crevices in the ground.</span><span>

</span>I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because they are so small that they are easily carried by the wind. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Point masses m1 m2 are placed at opposite ends
tiny-mole [99]

(a) x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²

Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²

Kinetic energy is rotational.

Total kinetic energy is E = \frac{1}{2} I_1w_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}I_2w_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} w_0^2(m_1x^2 + m_2(L-x)^2)

Work done is change in kinetic energy.

To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

m_1x - m_2(L-x) = 0\\\\x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.

Center of mass is at \frac{m_2L}{m_1 + m_2}

calculate the amount of heat (in btu) needed to raise the temp of 2.5lb of glass from 45°f to 350°f. the specific heat capacity
Firlakuza [10]
So you would use the equation Q=cmΔT, where c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and ΔT is change in temperature. Q, or heat added, would equal (0.187)(2.5)(350-45), which simplifies to 142.5875 btu.
