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

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

Answer:

$3.4\cdot 10^{-19} J$

Explanation:

In order to convert the work function of cesium from electronvolts to Joules, we must use the following conversion factor:

$1 eV = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

In our problem, the work function of cesium is

$E=2.1 eV$

so, we can convert it into Joules by using the following proportion:

$1 eV : 1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J = 2.1 eV : x\\x=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J)(2.1 eV)}{1 eV}=3.4\cdot 10^{-19} J$

A speedboat is approaching a dock at 25 m/s (56 mph). When the dock is 150 m away, the driver begins to slow down. a) What accel

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) -2.038 m/s²

b) 40.33 mph

c) 312.5 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times 150}\\\Rightarrow a=-2.083\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the boat is -2.083 m/s² if the boat will stop at 150 m.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times -1\times 150+25^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.03\ m/s$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 18.03 m/s

Converting to mph

$1\ mile=1609.34\ m$

$1\ h=3600\ seconds$

$18.03\times \frac{3600}{1609.34}=40.33\ mph$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 40.33 mph

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times -1}\\\Rightarrow s=312.5\ m$

The distance at which the boat will have to start decelerating is 312.5 m
