Answer:

Coefficient of kinetic friction (Cof. KE) = 0.153

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box (M) = 5 kg

Distance = 3 m

Initial speed (v) = 3 m/s

Find:

Coefficient of kinetic friction (Cof. KE)

Computation:

v² = u² + 2as

a = v² / 2s

a = 9 / 2(3)

a = 1.5 m/s²

Coefficient of kinetic friction (Cof. KE) = a / g

Coefficient of kinetic friction (Cof. KE) = 1.5 / 9.8

Coefficient of kinetic friction (Cof. KE) = 0.153

What is the difference between a general and a specific tolerance, and how can you tell the difference on a drawing?
Gnesinka [82]
<span>During the reading of a blueprint, a general tolerance pertains to all dimensions that are not independently identified. All tolerances are +\- .030. General tolerances are mostly found in the blueprint’s set of information. Let’s say for example, a compact tolerance is required, then a specific tolerance is considered for specific areas of the blueprint. These kinds of tolerances are commonly found along the affected area.</span>

Explain how the sun's position in the sky affects the length of shadows
Serggg [28]

A shadow forms on the side of an object that faces away from the sun. The length of shadows changes as Earth rotates. In the morning, the sun is low in the eastern sky and shadows are long. As time passes in the morning, the sun seems to move higher in the sky.

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter  pipe

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts "Help"
Digiron [165]

Answer: a) The cliff is 532.05m high

b) Her speed just before hitting the ground is 102.12 m/s

Explanation: To solve This, I'll use a sketch diagram, attached to this solution,

In 3seconds, the teacher heard the echo of her initial scream back. We can obtain the distance the teacher had fallen at the end of 3 seconds using the equations of motion,

Y1 = ut + 0.5g(t^2)

Since she's falling under the influence of gravity, her initial velocity, u = 0m/s, g = 9.8m/s2, t = 3s

Y1, distance she fell through in 3 seconds = 0.5×9.8(3^2) = 44.1m

Let the total height of the cliff be (44.1 + x); where is the remaining height of cliff that the teacher will fall through.

Using the equations of motion again, we can obtain distance travelled by the sound waves in 3s. sound waves travel with a constant speed of 340m/s, no acceleration,

Y2 = ut + 0.5g(t^2) where g = 0, u = 340m/s, t = 3seconds

Y2 = 340 × 3 = 1020m

But in 3 secs, the sound waves would have travelled through the total height of the cliff (44.1 + x) and back to the teacher's current height, x. That is, 1020 = 44.1 + x + x

x = 487.95m

So, total height of cliff = 44.1 + 487.95 = 532.05m

b) the speed of the teacher just before she hits the ground.

Using the equations of motion again,

(V^2) = (U^2) + 2gs

Where v is the final velocity to be calculated

U is the initial velocity = 0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s2

S is the total height she fell through, that is, the height of the cliff = 532.05m

(V^2) = 0 + 2×9.8×532.05 = 10428.18

V = √(10428.18) = 102.12m/s
