Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

The force of friction, Fr is a product of coefficient of feiction and the normal force. Therefore, Fr=uN where N is the normal force and u is coefficient of friction. Here, we have two coefficients of friction but since it is sliding, then we use coefficient of kinetic energy. Substituting 0.25 for u and 636 N for N then

Fr=0.25*636=159 N

Therefore, the force of friction is equivalent to 159 N

A radioactive particle has a half life of 1 second. If it moves at 3/5 the speed of light, from my point of view standing still
AVprozaik [17]

The half-life observed by an observer at rest is 1.25 s

Explanation:

In this problem, the particle is travelling at a significant fraction of the speed of light: therefore, we have to consider the phenomenon of the time dilation. The half-life of the particle as measured by an observer at rest is given by

T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}

where

T_0 is the proper half-life of the particle

v is the speed of the particle

c is the speed of light

For the particle in this problem,

T_0 = 1 s

v=\frac{3}{5}c=0.6 c

Substituting into the equation, we find:

T=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.6c}{c})^2}}=1.25 s

A sound wave traveling downward with a speed of about 4,000 m/s suddenly slows to 1,500 m/s not far below the Earth’s surface. W
mezya [45]
<h2>Answer: an underground lake</h2>

Explanation:

In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.

So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.

Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.

Q15.17 Both wave intensity and gravitation obey inverse-square laws. Do they do so for the same reason?Discuss the reason for ea
s2008m [1.1K]

(a) Intensity obeys inverse square law from basis of light passing through a given surface.

(b) Gravitation obeys inverse square law from the basis of force between two masses.

(c) The maximum magnitude of the acceleration of the block is 126.75 m/s².

<h3>What is intensity?</h3>

Intensity is the ratio is ratio of power to area of a given surface.

I = P/A (W/m²)

where;

  • P is power
  • A is area
<h3>Universal gravitation law</h3>

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Intensity and gravitation do not obey inverse square law for same reason;

  • Intensity obeys inverse square law from basis of light passing through a given surface.
  • Gravitation obeys inverse square law from the basis of force between two masses.
<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

a = v²/A

a = (3.9²)/0.12

a = 126.75 m/s²
