For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have: Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us: The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.101$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}$

$\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}$

$\mu_k=0.101$

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i

Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up
