our lab partner wears a new pair of sneakers to lab and, rather than performing the required experiments, you decide to measure

the coefficient of static friction they make with the lab floor. Your partner reports her mass to be 59.0 kg. Hooking up an industrial force sensor to your interface you give your partner a piece of rope attached to the sensor and begin to pull. When the sensor reads 318.3 N your partner starts to slip. Determine the coefficient of static friction between your partner and the floor.

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between your partner and the floor is 0.55

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 59 Kg

Frictional force F_{s}  = 318.3 N

From the formula of frictional force,

 F_{s} = \mu_{s} mg

Where \mu _{s} = coefficient of static friction, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Put the above values and find the coefficient of static friction.

318.3 = \mu_{s} \times 59 \times 9.8

\mu_{s} = 0.55

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between your partner and the floor is 0.55

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a = 0.1 m/s²

Explanation:

  • If the maximum static frictional force is 90 N, this means that any applied force that will overcome this force, will cause the piano to slide, so kinetic frictional force applies.
  • Under these conditions, the net force in the horizontal direction is just the difference between the applied force (which is larger that the static friction force) and the kinetic frictional force, as follows:

       F_{net}  = F_{app} -F_{frk}  = 100 N - 70 N = 30 N (1)

  • By the same token, according Newton's 2nd Law, this force is just equal to the product of the mass of the piano, times the acceleration, as follows:

       F_{net} = m* a = 300 Kg * a = 30 N (2)

  • Solving for a:

        a = \frac{F_{net}}{m} = \frac{30 N}{300kg} = 0.1 m/s2 (3)

Which measure of central tendency refers to the average of all the scores in a data set?
dedylja [7]

<u>Answer</u>

Mean


<u>Explanation</u>

For any set of date there is a typical value for the probability distribution called central tendency.

There three types of central tendency<em> mean, median and mode.</em>

Mean is the average value of all data set in a distribution.

median is the the central value when the data is arranged in ascending or descending order.

Mode is the value that occurs most in a set of data.

What two motions combine to produce an orbit?
Ivenika [448]

I'm pretty sure it's Inertia and Gravity

Inertia deals with an object's tendency to stay in motion at a constant speed.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.

A car horn emits a frequency of 400 Hz. A car traveling at 20.0 m/s sounds the horn as it approaches a stationary pedestrian. Wh
Temka [501]

Answer:

The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz

speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s

Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.

The observed frequency is calculated as;

F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\

where;

F₀ is the observed frequency

v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

F_s = F_o [\frac{v}{v_s + v} ] \\\\400 = F_o [\frac{340}{20 + 340} ] \\\\400 = F_o (0.9444) \\\\F_o = \frac{400}{0.9444} \\\\F_o = 423.55 \ Hz \\

F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.

Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

when the direction of the Current changes.

Explanation:

Electromagnet refers to an iron ore wrapped around with a coil of wire, in presence of electric current. As it acts like a magnet, when current is passed through it.

The north & south poles of magnetic fields produced by such magnet, change with direction of current passed through it.
