The horizontal force : f = k*N
k- coefficient of friction
k = f /N
N = m * g = 45 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 441.45 N
k = 25 N : 441.45 N = 0.057
Answer C) 0.057

3. What is the mass of a paratrooper who experiences an air resistance of 400 N and an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2
goblinko [34]

Answer:

88.89kg

Explanation:

The formula for mass is m=F/a. If we plug in the values, we get m=400N/4.5m/s^2. The mass is 88.89kg. We know that the unit is in kg because one newton (N) is 1kg*m/s^2. The m/s^2 is cancelled out by the acceleration, and we are left with kg.

Wire A carries 4 A into a junction, wire B carries 5 A into the same junction, and another wire is connected to the junction. Wh
nydimaria [60]

Answer:9A

Explanation:

let the last wire be wire C

According to Kirchhoff's rule

the sum of all currents entering a junction must be equal to the sum of all currents leaving a junction

Ic=Ia+Ib

Ic= 4+5

Ic=9A

Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract.
Zina [86]

The statement ‘Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract’ is false. The answer is letter B. The big bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began with that exploded and expanded. It also states that the universe began in a single form of high condensed reactive matter and exploded forming the galaxies, planets, stars and other celestial bodies.

At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0

for the dropped rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

andp = \gamma\times mv

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.
