m = mass of the person = 82 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity acting on the person = 9.8 m/s²

F = normal force by the surface on the person

f = kinetic frictional force acting on the person by the surface

μ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.45

The normal force by the surface in upward direction balances the weight of the person in down direction , hence

F = mg                                          eq-1

kinetic frictional force on the person acting is given as

f = μ F

using eq-1

f = μ mg

inserting the values

f = (0.45) (82) (9.8)

f = 361.6 N

A piece of tape is pulled from a spool and lowered toward a 120-mg scrap of paper. Only when the tape comes within 8.0 mm is the
Anton [14]

Answer:

1.176\times 10^{-3} N

Upward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of scarp paper,m=120 mg=120\times 10^{-6}kg

1mg=10^{-6} mkg

Distance,d =8 mm=8\times 10^{-3} m

Magnitude of electric force =F_E= w=mg

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

F_E=120\times 10^{-6}\times 9.8

F_E=1.176\times 10^{-3} N

Gravitational force act in  downward direction.

The electric force acts in opposite direction and magnitude of electric force is equal to gravitational force.

Hence, the direction of electric force is upward.

How do the units of work and power compare?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".

What is the function (job) of the genes in protein synthesis (how proteins are made in the cell)?
Alborosie

Answer:Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation.
