Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.39g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y

our feet and the floor if you are not to slide?
Static friction is the friction that exist between a stationary object and the surface on which it is resting. Coefficient of friction tells us how strongly the two surfaces grip each other. Static friction and coefficient of friction are related to each other by the relation;

Fs=μsN

where,

Fs=Force of static friction
μs=Coefficient of friction
N=Normal force

Answer:

0.39

Explanation:

In order not to slide, you must have exactly the same acceleration of the train:

a=0.39 g

where

g = 9.81 m/s^2

There is only one force acting on you: the static frictional force that "pulls" you forward, and it is given by

F_s = \mu_s mg

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on you (so, the frictional force) must be equal to your mass times the acceleration, so we have

F= ma = \mu_s mg

from which we find

\mu_s = \frac{a}{g}=\frac{0.39 g}{g}=0.39

so, the minimum coefficient of static friction must be 0.39.

Help pls thx!!!!!!! <br> this is my last question i hope!

Answer:

Left

Explanation:

newtons is a measure of force. Since there is more newtons(force) pushing to the left, the object will move left. the 15 newtons cancel each other out, leaving only 5 newtons pushing to one side with no resistance.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

P = 3.5 D

Explanation:

As we know that convex lens is to be used to make the near point of eye to be correct

So we will have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

here we have

d_i = 2.3 m = 230 cm

d_o = 25 cm

now plug in all values into the formula

-\frac{1}{230} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{1}{f}

f = 28 cm

now for power of lens

P = \frac{1}{f}

P = \frac{1}{0.28} = 3.5 D

so the power in dioptre is

P = 3.5 D

A satellite of mass m completes one revolution around the earth at a constant speed s and radius r.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero

Explanation:

The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.
