Answer:

uk = 0.25

Explanation:

Given:-

- An object comes to stop with acceleration, a = -2.45 m/s^2

Find:-

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the floor?

Solution:-

- Assuming the object has mass (m) that slides over a rough surface with coefficient of kinetic friction (uk). There is only Frictional force (Ff) acting in the horizontal axis on the object opposing the motion (-x direction).

- We will apply equilibrium equation on the object in vertical direction.

                               N - m*g = 0

                               N = m*g

Where,  N : Contact force exerted by the surface on the floor

             g : Gravitational acceleration constant = 9.81 m/s^2

- Now apply Newton's second law of motion in the horizontal ( x-direction ):

                             - Ff = m*a

- The frictional force is related to contact force (N) by the following expression:

                              Ff = uk*N

- Substitute the 1st and 3rd expressions in the 2nd equation:

                             uk*m*g = -m*a

                             uk = a / g

- Plug in the values and solve for uk:

                             uk = - (-2.45) / 9.81

                             uk = 0.25

Your friend says that the primary difference between a solid and a liquid is the kind of atoms in the material. Do you agree or
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

I disagree with my friend because, the primary difference is not in the kind of atoms, rather it is the arrangement of atoms and molecules that distinguishes solids and liquids.

Atoms are closely packed in solid and hence large cohesive forces act between atoms in solids whereas in liquids atoms are at a distance from each other, hence, less cohesive force act between it's atoms. Moreover, due to loose packing in liquids atoms are free to move in space and hence liquids can flow whereas solids cannot.

If a 4 engine jet accelerates down a runway at 8.7 m/s^2, Suppose now that all 4 engins are operational on the jet from the prev
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

5.22m/s^2

Explanation:

One of the first propulsion characteristics given in the example is that all engines are equal.

In this way if we have 4 engines running at the same time, it means that its capacity is 100%.

Under this premise, if 100% is found, the Jet is capable of reaching a speed of 8.7m / s ^ 2.

However, the question is, what would happen if 2.4 "Engines" now work.

To do this then we make a simple equivalence,

If 4 engines is the equivalent of 100%, when would it be 2.4 engines?

X = \frac{2.4 * 100\%} { 4 }= 60\%

In this way it would mean that the body could be driven to 60% of its total.

So

Speed_{Decreased} = 8.7 * 60\% = 5.22 \frac{m}{s^2}

At locations A and B, the electric potential has the values VA=1.51 VVA=1.51 V and VB=5.81 V,VB=5.81 V, respectively. A proton r
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

<u>For proton:</u>

A. The proton is released from Vb (highest potential)

B. v = 2.9x10⁴ m/s

<u>For electron:</u>

A. The electron is released from Va (lowest potential)

B. v = 1.2x10⁶ m/s    

Explanation:

<u>For a proton we have</u>:

A. To find the origin from which the proton was released we need to remember that in a potential difference, a proton moves from the highest potential to the lowest potential.                

Having that:

Va = 1.51 V and Vb = 5.81 V

We can see that the proton moves from Vb to Va, hence the proton was released from Vb.

B. We now that the work done by an electric field is given by:

W = \Delta Vq    (1)                                        

Where:

q: is the proton's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C    

V: is the potential    

Also, the work is equal to:

W = \Delta K = (K_{a} - K_{b}) = \frac{1}{2}mv_{a}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mv_{b}^{2}     (2)      

Where:

K: is the kinetic energy

m: is the proton's mass = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg

v_{a}: is the velocity in the point a

v_{b}: is the velocity in the point b = 0 (starts from rest)

Matching equation (1) with (2) we have:

\Delta Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv_{a}^{2}

(5.81 V - 1.51 V)*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C = \frac{1}{2}1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*v_{a}^{2}

v_{a} = 2.9 \cdot 10^{4} m/s

<u>For an electron we have</u>:

A. For an electron we know that it moves from the lowest potential (Va) to the highest potential (Vb), so it is released from Va.

B. The speed is:

\Delta Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv_{b}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mv_{a}^{2}

Since v_{a} = 0 (starts from rest) and m_{e} = 9.1x10⁻³¹ kg (electron's mass), we have:

(5.81 V - 1.51 V)*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C = \frac{1}{2}9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*v_{b}^{2}    

v_{b} = 1.2 \cdot 10^{6} m/s

I hope it helps you!
