A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

7 N horizontal force keeps it moving at a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor.

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67

Calculate the kinetic energy, in joules of a 1160-kg automobile moving at 19.0 m/s.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

K.E=1/2 mv²

m=1160 kg

v=19.0 m/s

so k.e=1/2*1160*(19.0)²

K.E=1/2*1160*361

K.E=1/2*418760

K.E=209380=2.0*10^5 j

Based on its type of chemical bond, which of the following has the highest boiling point?
Sever21 [200]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Potassium chloride

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Potassium Chloride is an ionic compound and has ionic bond which is stronger than covalent bond in ethyl alcohol,water ,ammonia, and thus has the highest boiling point .
  • ionic bond is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metallic atoms and non-metallic atoms.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

baking the cake batter

Explanation:

Baking the cake batter will indicate that chemical change has occurred here. What is a chemical change?

  • A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter is formed.
  • It is usually accompanied by energy either evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both.
  • The process is irreversible.
  • When the batter bakes, a new substance different from the cake mix is obtainable.
  • We cannot get back the ingredient from this baked cake. It is impossible.
  • This is good indicator of chemical change.
