4 0

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

F-Fr=ma where F is applied force, Fr is friction, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Since the mass is moving with a constant velocity, there's no acceleration hence

$F=Fr=\mu N$ where N is the weight of object and \mu is coefficient of kinetic friction.

$F=\mu N and making [tex]\mu$ the subject

$\mu=\frac {F}{N}$

Substituting F for 8 N and N for 20 N

$\mu=\frac {8}{20}=0.4$

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$

Una patinadora de 50 kg parte del reposo y después de recorrer 3k alcanza una velocidad de 15 m/s. ¿Qué fuerza neta experimenta

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$F_{net} = 1.875\,N$

Explanation:

Asúmase que la patinadora experimenta una aceleración constante. La fuerza neta experimentada por la patinadora:

$F_{net} = (50\,kg)\cdot \left[\frac{\left(15\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2} }{2\cdot (3000\,m)} \right]$

$F_{net} = 1.875\,N$

How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

Rina8888 [55]

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:

(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.
