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

What mindset do you believe Einstein had while alive and what do you think the key component or constant action was for Einstein
grandymaker [24]

Albert Einstein had a growth mindset due to innovative nature.

<h3>What mindset do you believe Einstein had?</h3>

Albert Einstein had a growth mindset because he did not give up when he face failure. He was very good in math and science but did not get into the school. The reason behind is that Einstein is different from other students. The key component or constant action was focus and devotion to work for Einstein throughout his "miracle year".

So we can conclude that Albert Einstein had a growth mindset due to innovative nature.

A 25 pF parallel-plate capacitor with an air gap between the plates is connected to a 100 V battery. A Teflon slab is then inser
fgiga [73]

Answer:

5.3 nC

Explanation:

The initial charge stored on the capacitor is given by:

Q=CV (1)

where

C=25 pF = 25\cdot 10^{-12}F is the capacitance of the capacitor

V=100 V is the potential difference across the capacitor

Substituting numbers into the equation, we have

Q=(25\cdot 10^{-12} F)(100 V)=25\cdot 10^{-10}C=2.5 nC

When the Teflon slab is inserted between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor is increased as follows:

C'=kC

where k=2.1 is the dielectric constant of the Teflon. Since the voltage V remains constant, this means that the new charge stored by the capacitor (1) will be

Q'=C'V=kCV=kQ

and so

Q'=(2.1)(2.5 nC)=5.3 nC

PLLLZ HELP Compare and contrast electric potential energy and electric potential difference? Please use 2 content related senten
masha68 [24]

The electric potential difference is the electric potential energy per unit charge

Explanation:

First of all, we define the concept of electric potential. The electric potential is a measure of the gradient of the electric field at a certain point of the space. The electric potential at a distance r from a positive charge of magnitude q is given by

V(r) = \frac{kq}{r}

where k is the Coulomb's constant.

Now we can define the electric potential energy and the electric potential difference:

  • Electric potential energy is the energy possessed by a charge due to the presence of an electric field. For a charge of magnitude q immersed in an electric field, its potential energy is given by U=qV, where V is the electric potential at the location of the charge.
  • The electric potential difference is simply the difference in electric potential between two points in the space. For instance, if the potential at point A is V(A) and the potential at point B is V(B), then the potential difference is \Delta V = V(A)-V(B)

The electric potential energy is also defined as the work done on a charge q moved through a potential difference of \Delta V. Consequently, the potential difference \Delta V represents the work per unit charge done, i.e. the work done when moving a unitary charge through a potential difference \Delta V.
