Answer: 0.87m/s²

Explanation: Recall from Newton's second law

Force = mass*acceleration

So,

Acceleration = Force/mass

Acceleration = 59N/68kg

= 0.868N/kg

Which is also 0.87m/s² in standard unit.

Which is usually greater for a pair of surfaces, the coefficient of static friction or the coefficient of sliding friction? why
lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation :

Static friction is the frictional force between two objects that are at rest. While sliding friction is the frictional force between two objects in contact and are sliding w.r.t each other.

Static friction is usually greater than sliding friction because in static friction the contact forces is more and the interlocking between objects is tight as compared to sliding friction.

Why is it important to develop alternative energy sources
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The alternative energy sources are defined as those resources that are used in place of the natural and non-renewable resources. This resources plays an important role in the conservation of natural resources.

The fossil fuels are the resources on which the people are directly dependent. Burning up of these fossils leads to the emission of carbon, which has a direct impact on earth. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide can lead to the increase in the surface temperature of earth.

In addition to this, these fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, oil and natural gases are found to be present in a limited proportion, and it is a very expensive process to obtain these resources, so sustainable development method must be adopted in order to save this natural resources for the future generation.

Some of the examples of alternative resources that are widely used in place of fossil fuels are wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, biomass energy and bio-fuels.

Thus, it is very important to develop and use alternative resources.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

v=1.08\times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the electron, u = 0

The charge per unit area of each plate, \dfrac{Q}{A}=1.69\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates, d=1.75\times 10^{-2}\ m

An electron is released from rest, u = 0

Using equation of kinematics,

v^2-u^2=2ad..........(1)

Acceleration of the electron in electric field, a=\dfrac{qE}{m}............(2)

Electric field, E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}............(3)

From equation (1), (2) and (3) :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2q\sigma d}{m\epsilon_o}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.69\times 10^{-7}\times 1.75\times 10^{-2}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v = 10840393.1799 m/s

or

v=1.08\times 10^7\ m/s

So, the electron is moving with a speed of 1.08\times 10^7\ m/s before it reaches the positive plate. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a truck has a momentum of 40,120 kg • and a mass of 1,180 kg. What is the truck’s velocity?
gladu [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

The velocity of the truck is 34 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The momentum (p) of an object is the product of its mass (m) and its velocity (v) which can be written as:

<em>p = mv</em>

Here in this problem, we are given a truck which has a momentum of 40120 kg and a mass of 1180 kg and we are to find its velocity.

So substituting the given values in the above formula to find the velocity of the truck.

Truck's velocity = \frac{40120}{1180} = 34 m/s.
