Answer:

0.04

Explanation:

From

ma=\mu mg

Here m is mass, a is acceleration, \mu  is the coefficient of kinetic friction and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Making \mu the subject of the formula

\mu=\frac {a}{g}

From kinematics, we know that

v^{2}-u^{2}=2as

Here, v is final speed, u is initial speed, a is acceleration and s is distance moved.

Making a the subject of the formula then

a=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2s}

Since it stops, the final velocity is 0 while the initial speed is given as 13.7 m/s

Substituting 0 for v, 13.7 for u, 216.9 m for s then

a=\frac {0^{2}-13.7^{2}}{2\times 216.9}=-0.432664822 m/s^{2}

Taking g as 9.81 m/s^{2}then using the formula

\mu=\frac {0.432664822}{9.81}=0.044104467\approx 0.04

Kinetic, potential because, at the top of the ramp it’s going faster. Potential at the bottom of the ramp is potential because, it’s not doing any motion.

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

C. g/cm³

Explanation:

The slope is measured by calculating the variation of the Y values over the X values between two points on a line.  

So, the formula is: Slope = Δy/Δx

That means that we also take the units.

In this case, the Y-axis unit is in g, while the X-axis unit is in cm³.

Dividing a Y-variation over an X-variation will give you g/cm³.

In this case, let's assume the line passes through (10,100) (not exactly, but close enough for the example), and it passes through (0,0)

So the slope would be: (100-0) g / (10-0) cm³ = 10 g/cm³
