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

Joey drives along the 110 South freeway and notices a mile marker that reads 260 miles. He drives until he reaches the 150 mile
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

85 miles .

Explanation:

Displacement along the 110 South freeway = 260 - 150  =  110 miles

Displacement along the 110 North freeway = 150 - 175   = - 25 miles

Net displacement = 110 - 25 = 85 miles

So Joey's displacement from the 260 mile marker is 85 miles .

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in x=3

The maximum is:

f(3) = 39

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0

-4*2x + 24=0

8x=24

x=3

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If f (3) ''< 0 the function has a maximum

If f (3) '' >0 the function has a minimum

f(x)''= 8

Note that:

f(3)''= -8

the function has a maximum in x=3

The maximum is:

f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.
