) A stone initially moving at 8.0 m/s on a level surface comes to rest due to friction after it travels 11 m. What is the coeffi

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-0.3

Explanation:

F' = μmg ........... Equation 1

Where F' = Frictional force, μ = coefficient of kinetic friction, m = mass of the stone, g = acceleration due to gravity.

But,

F' = ma ............ Equation 2

Where a = acceleration of the stone.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

ma = μmg

dividing both side of the equation by m

a = μg

make μ the subject of the equation

μ = a/g............... Equation 3

From the equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as................. Equation 4

Where v and u are the final and the initial velocity respectively, s = distance.

Given: v = 0 m/s (to rest), u = 8.0 m/s, s = 11 m.

Substitute into equation 4

0² = 8² + 2×11×a

22a = -64

a = -64/22

a = -32/11 m/s² = -2.91 m/s²

substitute the values of a and g into equation 3

μ = -2.91/9.8

μ = -0.297

μ ≈ -0.3

You stand on a frictionless platform that is rotating with an angular speed of 5.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you ho

timurjin [86]

Answer:

$\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed of rotation of friction-less platform, $\omega=5.1\ rev.s^{-1}$

moment of inertia with extended weight, $I=9.9\ kg.m^2$

moment of inertia with contracted weight, $I'=2.6\ kg.m^2$

<u>Now we use the law of conservation of angular momentum:</u>

$I.\omega=I'.\omega'$

$9.9\times 5.1=2.6\times \omega'$

$\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}$

The angular speed becomes faster as the mass is contracted radially near to the axis of rotation.

The voyager 1 spacecraft is currently 20.7 billion km from earth and heading out of our solar system. how long does it take radi

sveta [45]

Answer:

20.7 billion = 20.7E9 converting to units of 10

20.7E9 km = 20.7E12 m

t = S /v = 20.7E12 m / 3.0E8 m/s = 6.9E4 s = 69000 s

69000 s = 1150 min = 19.2 hrs
