Hey scooters dragging of 520 kg walk-through forest at a constant speed of 3.5 m/s. If the scooter is applying a force of 1850 N

Simora [160]

The coefficient of friction is 0.363

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the scooter in the horizontal direction:

- The applied force, F = 1850 N, forward

- The frictional force, $F_f$ , backward

Since the scooter is moving at constant speed, the acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the scooter must be zero. Therefore we can write:

$F-F_f = 0\\F_f = F = 1850 N$

The frictional force can be written as

$F_f = \mu R$ (1)

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction of the ground on the scooter

For a flat horizontal surface, there is equilibrium along the vertical direction, so the normal reaction is equal to the weight:

$R = W = mg$

where

m = 520 kg is the mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting into (1),

$F_f = \mu mg = 1850 N$

and solving for $\mu$ ,

$\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{1850}{(520)(9.8)}=0.363$

Most meteors do not hit the earth's surface because they collide with the atmosphere causing friction with the air and thus the

jeka57 [31]

<span>So we want to know what happens to meteors that enter the Earth's atmosphere and experience air friction. So since most meteors that enter Earth's atmosphere are made out of ice and/or rocks, when they enter the atmosphere, they experience air friction and their temperature rises so high they either melt or burn up. So the correct answer is burns up. </span>

A hair dryer draws 11 A when it is connected to 120 V. If electrical energy costs $ 0.09/kW·h, what is the cost of using the hai

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The cost of using the hair dryer for 15 minutes is $\$3.6\bar 6$

Explanation:

The parameters given in the question are;

The electric current drawn by the the air dryer, I = 11 A

The voltage to which the hair dryer is connected, V = 120 V

The duration of usage of the hair dryer = 15 minutes = 60 minutes /4 = 1 hour/4 = 0.25 hour

The electrical energy costs $0.09/kW·h

The power consumed by the hair dryer = I × V = 11 × 120 = 1320 Watts = 1.32 kW

The energy used by the hair dryer in 15 minutes (0.25 hour) = 1.32 × 0.25 0.33 kW·h

The energy used by the hair dryer in 15 minutes (0.25 hour) = 0.33 kW·h

The energy cost = $0.09/(kW·h)

Therefore;

The cost of using the hair dryer for 15 minutes (0.25 hour) = 0.33 kW·h/($0.09/(kW·h)) = $33/9 = $3 2/3 = $3.6 $\bar 6$ .

A 6.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1759 psi. A second 6.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 467.7 psi. The two

rodikova [14]

Answer:

P=1113.35 psi

Explanation:

For tank 1

V₁= 6.25 L

P₁=1759 psi

For tank 2

V₂=6.25 L

P₂=467.7 psi

Lets take final pressure is P

The final volume V= 6.25 + 6.25 L = 12.5 L

P V = V₂P₂+V₁P₁

Now by putting the values

P V = V₂P₂+V₁P₁

P x 12.5 = 6.25 x 467.7+6.25 x 1759

P=1113.35 psi

So the final volume of the system will be 1113.35 psi.

Which of these forces determines the chemical properties of an atom? friction force nuclear force gravitational force electrical

zysi [14]

The answers is an electrical force.
Under normal conditions, atoms interact with each other via electrons that are furthest away from the nucleus. These electrons from the what is called the outer shell of the atom, electrons from the outer shell that can participate in chemical reactions are called valence electrons.
