m = mass of the box

N = normal force on the box

f = kinetic frictional force on the box

a = acceleration of the box

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as

N = mg Cos30                                         eq-1

kinetic frictional force is given as

f = μ N

using eq-1

f = μ mg Cos30    


parallel to incline , force equation is given as

mg Sin30 - f = ma

mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30  = ma

"m" cancel out

a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30

inserting the values

1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ

μ = 0.44

a city government received a $1 million grant to build swimming pools and skating rinks for youth. based on the data provided in
ivolga24 [154]

We have that for the Question "A city government received a $1 million grant to build swimming pools and skating rinks for youth. based on the data provided in the graph, what is the opportunity cost of building one swimming pool?" it can be said that

OC=2

From the question we are told

A city government received a $1 million grant to build swimming pools and skating rinks for youth. based on the data provided in the graph, what is the opportunity cost of building one swimming pool?

Generally the equation for the Opportunity cost  is mathematically given as

OC=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\\\OC=\frac{2-0}{1-0}\\\\OC=2

Therefore

From the graph of the  question we can ascertain that Opportunity cost

OC=2

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x

The metric system is now known as the international system of units.<br> a. T<br> b. F
inn [45]
<span>The metric system is the oldest name for the international system of units. The answer is <u>a. True. </u>SI unit or the international systems of units are based on seven basic units; the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, candela and mole. All of these basic units are divided into multiples by a power of ten. For example in meters, 1 meter is equal to: 1000 millimeter, 100 centimeter, 10 decimeter, 0.1 decameter, 0.01 hectometer, 0.001 kilometer and so on and so forth.</span>
