Answer:

\mu_k=0.27

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

F_k=\mu_k N

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, we calculate \mu_k:

\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27

Suppose that you have a 680 Ω, a 720 Ω and a 1.20 kΩ resistor. (a) What is the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining th
Delvig [45]

Explanation:

As the given data is as follows.

    R_{1} = 680 \ohm ohm\ohm,    R_{2} = 720 \ohm ohm,

   R_{3} = 1.2 k\ohm = 1200 \ohm   (as 1 k ohm = 1000 m)

(a)   We will calculate the maximum resistance by combining the given resistances as follows.

      Max. Resistance = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

                                  = (680 + 720 + 1200) \ohm ohm

                                  = 2600 ohm

or,                               = 2.6 k\ohm ohm

Therefore, the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 2.6 k\ohm ohm.

(b)   Now, the minimum resistance is calculated as follows.

      Min. Resistance = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} + \frac{1}{R_{3}}

                                 = \frac{1}{680} + \frac{1}{720} + \frac{1}{1200}

                                 = 3.683 \times 10^{-3} ohm

Hence, we can conclude that minimum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 3.683 \times 10^{-3} ohm.

Productivity increases when A. inputs increase while outputs remain the same. B. inputs decrease while outputs remain the same.
Blizzard [7]

Answer: Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately.

Explanation:

Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately. Input has to be directly proportional to output to be productive. This means increase in input to a system must leads to drastic increase in the output. When the output is not balanced with the amount of input, it leads to unproductivity.

Being productive can be business wise or in terms if personal growth and development.
