While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes

an angle of 10.0° (from the horizontal). If Letty’s mass is 65.0 kg, what is the coefficient of friction between her skis and the water?

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

A 1,70 atm, una muestra de gas ocupa 4,25 litros. Si la presión en el gas aumenta a 2.40 atm, ¿cuál será el nuevo volumen?
statuscvo [17]

At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?

Answer:

3.01L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure, P1  = 1.7atm

Initial volume, V1  = 4.25L

Final pressure, P2  = 2.4atm

Unknown:

Final or new volume, V2  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".

            P1 V1  = P2 V2

P1 is the initial pressure

V1 is the initial volume

P2 final pressure

V2 final volume

        1.7 x 4.25  = 2.4 x V2

             V2  = 3.01L

A sample of a solid nonmetal is compared to a sample of a solid metal. Both samples have the same volume. What is the most likel
KATRIN_1 [288]
The weight could be different, metals have a higher mass than nonmetals, so when occupying the same amount of space, the weight of the metal is far more.

Where should clouds form and why
LiRa [457]

Answer:

When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, it's not able to hold all of the water vapor it once was. Air also can't hold as much water when air pressure drops. The vapor becomes small water droplets or ice crystals and a cloud is formed.
