Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m

Work done in stretching the spring is equal to W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 0.2^2=2J

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the block

And this kinetic energy must be equal to work done by the frictional force

So \mu mg\times s=2

\mu\times  0.5\times 9.8\times 1=2

\mu =0.4081

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

All Houston Methodist buildings system wide have an emergency power generator that turns on to supply emergency power after norm
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

D. 10 seconds

Explanation:

All Houston Methodist Hospital buildings employs the use of EPSS(Emergency Power Supply System). This system employs the use of an emergency power generator that turns on to supply emergency power after normal power shuts down within 10 seconds during power outage.

Due to it being used in a hospital the importance of this emergency power system cannot be overemphasized as it is used to provide power supply to hospital equipment such as life support machines etc.

What is the flow of energy from the falling water to the steam?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flow of energy from falling water to the steam is;

a) Mechanical → Mechanical → Electrical → Thermal → Thermal

Explanation:

1) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water in the pipe before it falls possesses potential energy which it converts into kinetic energy as it falls from height

2) Mechanical → Mechanical

The water falling from the pipe stream unto the turbine wheel transfers its kinetic (mechanical) energy due to its motion on to the turbine wheel to give the wheel rotational motion

3) Mechanical → Electrical

The kinetic (mechanical) energy from the rotating turbine wheel is converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator which transported through the electrical circuit

4) Electrical → Thermal

The electrical energy from the electric current is then converted into thermal energy as the current passes through the resistors in the heating filament

5) Thermal → Thermal

The heated filament transfers thermal energy to the the water in the beaker by conduction which raises the temperature of the water such that as the water acquires more thermal energy it turns into steam

Therefore, we have the flow of energy from the falling water to steam as follows;

1) Mechanical 2) Mechanical 3) Electrical 4) Thermal 5) Thermal

There are two types of magnets some of them are _______ and some are _________
velikii [3]

Answer:

There are three types of magnets: permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Permanent magnets emit a magnetic field without the need for any external source of magnetism or electrical power.

The Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by electric currents in the conductive iron alloys of its core, created by convection currents due to heat escaping from the core.
