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

A spinning top spinning at 16rad/s takes 88.9s to come to a complete stop. Find the angular acceleration of the top.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the top is 0.18 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity of the top, ω = 16 rad/s

time it takes to come to a complete stop, t = 88.9s

The angular acceleration of the top, is calculated as;

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

α is the angular acceleration

ω is angular acceleration

t is the time

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}\\\\\alpha = \frac{16}{88.9}\\\\\alpha =0.18 \ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the top is 0.18 rad/s²

A 1,600 kg train car rolling freely on level track at 16 m/s bumps into a 1.0 × 103 kg train car moving at 10.0 m/s in the same
emmainna [20.7K]
This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

Select all of the statements that are true.
natta225 [31]

The correct statements are "Each orbit holds a fixed number of electrons" and "The n=1 orbit can only hold two electrons." According to the Bohr model, the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an orbit is given by 2n^2, where n is the number of the orbit. For instance, when n=1 it means 2n^2= 2(1)^2=2. This particular orbit can only hold up to two electrons. Even though the electrons can gain energy and move to higher orbits or electrons from higher orbits can lose energy and drop to the n=1 level, the energy level would not allow more electrons to enter the orbit once it is full. Again the octet rule, which states that atoms achieve stability by having 8 valence electrons, limits the maximum number of electrons that can be occupied by an orbit. The gain and loss of electrons is done to achieve the noble gas configuration and once that is reached no more electron can be added to an orbit

Standing on top of a building, Bob tosses a baseball straight up with an initial speed of 15 m/s. It takes 4.0 s for the ball to
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

48.26 m

Explanation:

time to goes up (till stop for a while in the air - maximum height)

vt = vo + a t

0 = 15 + g . t

0 = 15 + (-9.8) . t

9.8t = 15

t = 1.531 s

so the time left to goes down is

4.0 - 1.531 = 2.469 s

height from the top of building can find it by using

vo =√(2gh)

15 = √(2)(9.8).h

15² = 19.6h

h = 225/19.6 = 11.48 m

so the distance of maximum height to the ground is

t = √(2H/g)

2.469 = √(2H/9.8)

2.469² = 2H/9.8

6.096 = 2H/9.8

2H = 6.096 x 9.8 = 59.74 m

so the vertical distance of the building (or the building height's is)

H - h = 59.74 - 11.48 = 48.26 m
