Answer:

μ = 0.385

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the student, m = 69 Kg

The horizontal force applied, F = 260 N

The normal force acting on the body, weight = mg = 69g  N

                                                                                    = 676.2 N

The coefficient of friction acting on a body is equal to the force acting on the body to the normal force acting on the body due to gravitation.

The formula for coefficient of friction,

                                    μ =  F / N

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                     μ = 260 N / 676.2 N

                                        = 0.385

Hence, the  coefficient of friction, μ = 0.385

Answer:

39.26 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtainedb

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.9 m/s²

Distance travelled (s) = 1700 m

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the final velocity of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.9 m/s²

Distance travelled (s) = 1700 m

Final velocity (v) =?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 6² + (2 × 1.9 × 1700)

v² = 36 + 6460

v² = 6496

Take the square root of both side

v = √6496

v = 80.6 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the time taken before the plane lifts off. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.9 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 80.6 m/s

Time (t) =?

v = u + at

80.6 = 6 + 1.9t

Collect like terms

80.6 – 6 = 1.9t

74.6 = 1.9t

Divide both side by 1.9

t = 74.6 / 1.9

t = 39.26 s

This, it will take 39.26 s before the plane lifts off.

What is the average speed of an object with a total distance traveled of 45 meters in 50 seconds
Anettt [7]

Answer: 0.9m/s

Explanation:

Use equation for speed:

V=S/t

S-distance; S=45m

t-time; t=50 s

V=S/t

V=45m/50s

V=0.9 m/s

the gravitational force between the sun and earth is larger than sun and the moon. what do you think the reason for this is?
Tems11 [23]

Answer: The greater an object's mass, the more gravitational force it exerts.

Explanation: So, to begin answering your question, Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon simply because the Earth is more massive. Sorry if I get this wrong. I am in 5th grade! ♥
