Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A person pushing a couch will face resistive force of friction . When resistive force is greater then his force of effort , couch will not move. This force is static friction because the couch is stationary. When the force of effort is increased , magnitude of static friction also increases keeping the couch stationary. The ability of the static friction to increase its magnitude is limited by a maximum value beyond which the couch starts moving. The static friction is then converted into kinetic friction.

In rest of the three cases object is already moving so kinetic friction is in action.

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin
atroni [7]

Answer:

Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm

Explanation:

The formula for the fringe spacing in Young's Double-slit experiment is given by the following formula:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}

where,

Y = fringe spacing = 0.0176 m

λ = wavelength = 425 nm = 4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = slit separation

Therefore,

\frac{0.0176\ m}{4.25\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m} = \frac{L}{d}\\\\\frac{L}{d} =  41411.76

Now, for:

λ = 614 nm = 6.14 x 10⁻⁷ m

Y = (6.14\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(41411.76)\\

<u>Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm</u>

what factors go into decisions about changing what materials should be used when building a products​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

you need to consider the use for the product, how brittle the materials are, how they react to certain things, the cost of the materials, the durability and flexibility of the materials, and how easy to obtain the materials are as well as how they would work and how they would hold

Margarita [4]
Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock
