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 laborer pushes a box to distance of 20m. if the force required to push the box is 25N what will be the quantity of work done​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

500 J

Explanation:

In the case of a rectilinear movement, the work is calculated as the product of Force (N) * movement (m). In your case, unless the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector is different from 0, the work is:

25 N * 20 m = 500 J

Find the magnitude of the side and the angle. Please help!
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Assuming the triangle is a right triangle,</em>

the magnitude of R can be found using the Pythagorean theorem,

R = sqrt(9.7^2+6^2) = 11.41 m

The angle can be found by arctangent, which is

angle = atan(9.7/6) = 58.26 degrees.

A submarine is 58.8 m from a whale. The sub sends out a sonar ping to locate the whale. The speed of sound underwater is 1520 m/
MissTica

Answer:

0.08

Explanation:

this problem assume that both of whale and submarine are in rest position or in constant linier motion in same direction and same speed.

The sound will travel from Submarine to the whale and back again to submarine. so the time will be like this

t = 2d/v

t = 2*58.8/1520

t = 117.6/1520

t = 0.077368 s

t ≈ 0.08 s (less then 1 s)
