Answer:

μ_k = 0.1773

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity;u = 20 m/s

Final velocity;v = 0 m/s (since it comes to rest)

Distance before coming to rest;s = 115 m

Let's find the acceleration using Newton's second law of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Making a the subject, we have;

a = (v² - u²)/2s

Plugging relevant values;

a = (0² - 20²)/(2 × 115)

a = -400/230

a = -1.739 m/s²

From the question, the only force acting on the puck in the x direction is the force of friction. Since friction always opposes motion, we see that:

F_k = −ma - - - (1)

We also know that F_k is defined by;

F_k = μ_k•N

Where;

μ_k is coefficient of kinetic friction

N is normal force which is (mg)

Since gravity acts in the negative direction, the normal force will be positive.

Thus;

F_k = μ_k•mg - - - (2)

where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,equating equation 1 and 2,we have;

−ma = μ_k•mg

m will cancel out to give;

-a = μ_k•g

μ_k = -a/g

g has a constant value of 9.81 m/s², so;

μ_k = - (-1.739/9.81)

μ_k = 0.1773

Newton's second law tells you: 

Sum of forces on an object = ma 

Here, the forces acting on the bundle are the tension in the string and the force of gravity, these two must combine to yield the acceleration of the bundle. 

So we have: 

T-mg = ma 

or T=m(g+a) 

We know m=8.7kg, we need to find a from the information 

starting from rest, an accelerating object covers distance according to: 

<span>dist = 1/2 at^2 </span>

to cover 1m in 1.8s, we have: 

a=2d/t^2 = 2x1/1.8^2 = 0.62 m/s/s 

Thus, the tension in the string is: 

<span>T = m(g+a)
=  8.7</span>kg(9.8m/s/s+0.62m/s/s) 
<span>
<span>T =  90.654 N

It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s–1. how long would it take for an initial concentration of 0
VikaD [51]
The rate constant of a reaction can be computed by the ratio of the changes in the concentration and time take taken for it to decompose. Thus, if the rate constant is given to be 14 M/s, we have 

rate = \frac{-(C_{new} - C_{old})}{t}

where C are the concentration values and t is the time taken for it to decompose.

14 = \frac{-(0.02 - 0.06)}{t}
t = 0.003 s

Thus, it will take 0.003 s for it to decompose.
Answer: 0.003 s

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²
