Answer:

<em>The statement is true</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion </u>

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{The statement is true}}$

A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = .35. If the puck feels a normal force (FN) of 5 N, what is the frict

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force is $F_f = 1.75 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The coefficient of kinetic force is μk = 0.35

The normal force felt by the puck is $F_N = 5 \ N$

Generally the frictional force that acts on the puck is mathematically represented as

$F_f = \mu_k * F_N$

=> $F_f = 0.35 * 5$

=> $F_f = 1.75 \ N$

Joaquin mows the lawn at his grandmother’s home during the summer months. Joaquin measured the

Velocity is define as how fast an object is moving, and in what direction, it is a vector quantity, meaning velocity has both magnitude and direction. Anything goes to the left is negative, and anything goes to the right is positive.

a. Direction from east to west, given distance 11.5 meters, and time of 7.10 s

V = displacement/time V = -11.5/7.10 S V = -1.62 m/s (going left)

b. Joaquin reaches his original position. Displacement is now zero.

Velocity of the lawnmower is equal to "zero" but if we calculate for the average speed of the lawn, you just have to add the distance covered and the time it take to go back at the original position or point of origin
