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

Which of two factors influence the weight of an object due to gravitational pull?
densk [106]
The weight of an object when calculated by multiplying with the pull of the gravity is dependent on the mass of the object and the value of g. The value of g is constant however is still dependent on the distance of the object from the center of the Earth. Thus, the answers are <em>mass and distance. </em>

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial speed of 15m/s. What maximum height will the stone reach before falling bac
Vitek1552 [10]
height=\frac{velocity^2}{2gravity}\\\\&#10;velocity=15\frac{m}{s}\\\\&#10;g=9,8\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\height=\frac{15^2}{2*9,8}=\frac{225}{19,6}\\\\&#10;\boxed{height=11,48\ meters}
