Answer:

90m

Explanation:

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. The friction is the product of normal force and its coefficient, and normal force is equal to gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The acceleration caused by friction, according to Newton's 2nd law:

a_f = F_f / m = \mu g = 0.5 * 9.8 = 4.9 m/s^2

For the friend to slide over, then the centripetal acceleration must be equal to friction acceleration.

Since you are driving at a constant speed of 21 m/s, then your maximum radius of curvature can be calculated using the following formula:

a_c = a_f = v^2/r = 4.9

r = v^2/4.9 = 21^2/4.9 = 90 m

A coin 15.0 mm in diameter is placed 15.0 cm from a spherical mirror. The coin's image is 5.0 mm in diameter and is erect. Is th
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

15 cm

Explanation:

h_{o} = Diameter of the coin = 15 mm

h_{i} = Diameter of the image of coin =  5 mm

d_{o} = distance of the coin from mirror = 15 cm

d_{i} = distance of the image of coin from mirror = ?

Using the equation

\frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = \frac{- h_{i}}{h_{o}}

\frac{d_{i}}{15} = \frac{- (5)}{15}

d_{i} = - 5 cm

R = radius of curvature

Using the mirror equation

\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{2}{R}

\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{- 5} = \frac{2}{R}

R = - 15 cm

An igneous intrusion whose boundaries lie parallel to the layering in the surrounding country rock is considered to be:
ikadub [295]
<span>...a concordant intrusion. In geology, "concordant" means the same as "sill" -- or, an intrusion that has gotten in between older layers of rock (or even beds of volcanic lava). An intrusion with boundaries parallel to layering in surrounding rocks suggests this, meaning it is considered to be a concordant intrusion.</span>

Kay [80]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For charging plates that are connected in a similar manner:

Calculating the total charge:

\to q =q_1 + q_2 = C_1V_1 +C_2V_2 =1320 + 2714 = 4034 \mu C

Calculating the common potential:

\to V = \frac{q}{C}= \frac{q}{(C_1 + C_2)} =\frac{4034}{6.8} = 593 \ V\\\\

Calculating the charge after redistribution:

When: \\\\q = q_{1}' + q_{2}' = q_1 + q_2        

\to q_{1}' = C_1V = 2.2 \times 593 = 1305\ \mu C\\  \\  \to               q_{2}' = C_2V = 4.6 \times 593 = 2729 \ \mu C
