Answer:
μ = 0.692
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.
Attached is an image with the respective forces:
A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.
Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.
The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.
The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.
Answer:
a = 2 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To be able to solve this problem we must make it clear that the starting point when the time is equal to zero, the velocity is 5 [m/s] and when three seconds have passed the velocity is 11 [m/s], this point is the final point or the final velocity.
We can use the following equation.
where:
Vf = final velocity = 11 [m/s]
Vo = initial velocity = 5 [m/s]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
t = time = 3 [s]
Answer:
a. If c = 20 cm, then the mass of the brain is m = 5 g.
b. At c = 20 cm, the brain's mass is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.
Explanation:
From the equation
we have
a. for c = 20 cm
then the mass is m(20) = 5 g.
b. In order to find the rate of change, first we derivate
Evaluated at c = 20 cm, we have
So, at c = 20 cm, the mass of the brain is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.
