Answer:

(D) 96 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Let's start off by first calculating the normal force between the box and the floor.

This will be:

Normal Force = 12 * 9.81 = 117.72 N

We can now use the friction equation to find the frictional force on the box when it is moving:

Frictional force = Coefficient of friction * Normal Force

Frictional force = 0.4 * 117.72 = 47.09 N

Finally, since we have the force on the box, we can find the acceleration:

F = Mass * Acceleration

47.09 = 12 * Acceleration

Acceleration = 3.92 m/s^2

Final speed after 2 seconds:

V=U+a*t

V = 4 +(-3.92)*(2)

V= -3.84 m/s

Since we know the initial and final speeds, we can calculate the change in momentum:

Change in momentum = Final Momentum - Initial Momentum

Change in momentum = 3.84*12-(-4)*12

Change in momentum = 94.08 kg*m/s

Thus we can see that option (D) is the closest answer.

Two parallel wires are separated by 5.60 cm, each carrying 2.65 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The separation between two parallel wires, r = 5.6 cm = 0.056 m

Current in both the wires is 2.65 A

(a) We need to find the magnitude of the force per unit length between the wires. It can be given by :

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I_1I_2}{2\pi r}\\\\\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.65\times 2.65}{2\pi \times 0.056}\\\\\dfrac{F}{l}=2.5\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

(b) As the current is in same direction, the wires will attract each other.

Which uses the refractive properties of light to separate it into its different wavelengths?
miss Akunina [59]

A). No.  A mirror doesn't separate light into its different wavelengths.

B). No.  Light doesn't separate into its different wavelengths when it
goes, say, from glass into water.

C). No.  When light goes through your glasses, it doesn't separate
into its different wavelengths.

D). Yes !  When sunlight shines into droplets of water in the atmosphere,
it comes out separated into its different wavelengths.  When we see that
happening in the air in front of us, we call it a "rainbow".

saad has mass 80 kg when resting on the ground at the equator . what will be the centripetal acceleration on saad if the radius
Molodets [167]
Here,
         m=80 kg
         R= 6.4*10^6 m
       and t=24*3600=86400 s

Centripetal acceleration:
      a=ω²r
         =(2\pi /86400)^2 * 6.4*10^6
         =0.034 m/s²
