Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

Force, $F=\mu_k N$ where N is normal reaction and coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k$ . Also, N is equivalent to mg ie N=mg where m is mass of an object and g is acceleration due to gravity. Making $\mu$ the subject of the formula then

$\mu_k=\frac {F}{mg}$

Substituting F with 2 N, m with 10 kg and g with 9.81 then

$\mu_k=\frac {2}{10\times 9.81}=0.0203873598369\approx 0.02$

Three resistors of 100 W, 3900 W, and 1000 W are connected in series across a 200-V battery. What is the voltage drop across the

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

40 V

Explanation:

I will assume that the resistors are

100 and 3900 and 1000 OHMS <=====(NOT W)

In series , the resistances add together 100 + 3900 + 1000 = 5000 ohms total

V = IR

I = V / R so the total current will be 200 v / 5000 ohms = .04 amps

this is the current through all of the resistors

so for the 1000 ohm resistor V = IR .04 (1000) = 40 V

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \ m$

The first order of the dark fringe is $m_1 = 16$

The second order of dark fringe considered is $m_2 = 6$

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}$

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

$y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} - \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} - \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = 5 (480*10^{-9})$

=> $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

A rock climber hangs freely from a nylon rope that is 15 m long and has a diameter of 8.3 mm. If the rope stretches 5.1 cm, what

irinina [24]

Answer:

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Explanation:

Change in length

$\Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}$

Load, P = m x 9.81 = 9.81m

Young's modulus, Y = 0.37 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Area

$A=\frac{\pi (8.3\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=5.41\times 10^{-5}m^2$

Length, L = 15 m

ΔL = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

Substituting

$0.051=\frac{9.81m\times 15}{5.41\times 10^{-5}\times 0.37\times 10^{10}}\\\\m=69.38kg$

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg
