Answer:

Static friction is greater than kinetic friction, but they both act opposite the applied force.

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd law states that every action has and equal but opposite reaction.

If an object has static friction, that means it stays in one spot, and it takes a great amount of force to get it moving.

Once the object is moving it has kinetic friction, but it's easier to keep it moving unless you are trying to stop it.

The equal but opposite reaction to something moving it is stopping it, and the equal but opposite reaction to stopping something is moving it.

The same amount of force used to move/stop something is used to stop/move it.

First do 1.6 m (how far he jumps) 9.8 m/s (what gravity is measured at) then times 2

= 31.36

How do you find the water pressure at the bottom of the 55-m-high water tower?

svp [43]

-- What's the volume of a cylinder with radius=1m and height=55m ?

   ( Volume of a cylinder = π R² h )

-- How much does that volume of water weigh ?

    1 liter of water = 1 kilogram of mass
Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

-- What's the area of the bottom of that 1m-radius cylinder ?

   Pressure = (force) / (area)

A transformer has two sets of coils, the primary with N1 = 160 turns and the secondary with N2 = 1400 turns. The input rms volta

vovikov84 [41]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the voltage in a coil, through the percentage relationship that exists between the voltage and the number of turns it has.

So things our data are given by

$N_1 = 160$
