Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

F-F_f = ma (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

F_f is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

a=0.12 m/s^2 is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as F_f = \mu R (2), where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

R-mg=0 (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

F-\mu mg = ma

And solving for \mu,

\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

  • We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
  • At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

       v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)

  • If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

       H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)

  • We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

        v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)

  • In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
  • When we replace these values in (1), we find that  v₁ = -v₀.
  • Replacing in (3), we have:

        (4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2}  = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2}  = 2*g*D

  • Solving for  D:

       D = \frac{15*v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}

  • From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:

       H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g}

  • ⇒ D = 15 * H

        \frac{D}{H} = 15
