Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

In the final situation below, the 8.0 kg box has been launched with a speed of 10.0 m/s across a frictionless surface. Find the

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg

final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;

Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = Ux

¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux

400 J = Ux

Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.101$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}$

$\mu_k=0.101$

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

$v=wr$

Explanation:

<u>Tangent and Angular Velocities</u>

In the uniform circular motion, an object describes the same angles in the same times. If $\theta$ is the angle formed by the trajectory of the object in a time t, then its angular velocity is

$\displaystyle w=\frac{\theta}{t}$

if $\theta$ is expressed in radians and t in seconds the units of w is rad/s. If the circular motion is uniform, the object forms an angle $2\theta$ in 2t, or $3\theta$ in 3t, etc. Thus the angular velocity is constant.
