Let's practice calculating the frictional force of a skier on old "woody" skis and wet snow. The skier has a mass of 58 kg. The

coefficient of kinetic friction of wood skis on wet snow is 0.1 Notice there are no units for the coefficient of friction. What is the kinetic frictional force between the wood skis and the snow

Answer:

Kinetic frictional force will be equal to 56.84 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the skier m = 58 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.1

We have to find the kinetic frictional force

Kinetic frictional force is given by

F_K=\mu _Kmg=0.1\times 58\times 9.8=56.84N

So kinetic frictional force will be equal to 56.84 N

A coaxial cable consists of a solid inner cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm and an outer cylindrical shell of inner radius 3
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

d) 1.2 mT

Explanation:

Here we want to find the magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 mm from the axis of the coaxial cable.

First of all, we observe that:

- The internal cylindrical conductor of radius 2 mm can be treated as a conductive wire placed at the axis of the cable, since here we are analyzing the field outside the radius of the conductor. The current flowing in this conductor is

I = 15 A

- The external conductor, of radius between 3 mm and 3.5 mm, does not contribute to the field at r = 2.5 mm, since 2.5 mm is situated before the inner shell of the conductor (at 3 mm).

Therefore, the net magnetic field is just given by the internal conductor. The magnetic field produced by a wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I = 15 A is the current in the conductor

r = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m is the distance from the axis at which we want to calculate the field

Substituting, we find:

B=\frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(15)}{2\pi(0.0025)}=1.2\cdot 10^{-3}T = 1.2 mT

The joule and the kilowatt-hour are both units of energy. 15 kw · h is equivalent to how many joules? answer in units of j.
choli [55]

The solution for the problem is:

1 Watt = 1 Joule per second 
1 Watt*second = 1 Joule 

a Kilowatt is 1,000 Watts 
an hour is 60 seconds times 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds 
a Kilowatt * hour is 1,000 Watts in 3,600 seconds 

15 W*h = 15,000 Watt*hour = 15,000 Watt * 3,600 seconds = 54,000,000 Watt*second 

54,000,000 Watt*second = ? Joules 
54,000,000 Joules / second = 54,000,000 Watts

What do scientists theorize about the origins of the Moon? Choose the most accepted explanation.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.

A baseball bat changes the momentum of a ball with an impulse of 13.8 Nᐧs. What is the average force that the bat exerts on the
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

13800 N

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of average force and time expressed as I=Ft where I is the impulse which results into change in momentum, F is the average force and t is the time of impact. Making F the subject of formula then

F=\frac {I}{t}

Substituting I with 13.8 N.s and time, t witg 0.001 s then the average force is calculated as

F=\frac {13.8 N.s}{0.001}=13800N

Therefore, the average force is equivalent to 13800 N

The current in a hair dryer measures 19 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?
Masja [62]
Voltage  =  (current) x (resistance)

             =  (19 A)  x  (14 ohms)  =  266 volts .

Note:  Be careful using that thing ! 

It's dissipating

       I² R  =  (19 A)² x (14 ohms)  =  5,054 watts ! ! !

That's an awful lot of power for a blow-dryer ! 

The dryer is certainly not using very much of that power to run the fan. 
Most of it is being used to heat air.  5 kilowatts is more power than most
toasters or microwave ovens use, so please be careful with how much of
your hair or skin you expose to that hot-air blast.  You could probably cook
a meatloaf with it.
