an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

formly at 1.4 meters per second2 to the right. after the skater stops pushing the block, it slides onto a region of ice that is covered with a thin layer of sand. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the sand-covered ice is 0.28. calculate the magnitude of the force applied to the block by the skater. [show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.

Ethanethiol (; also called ethyl mercaptan) is commonly added to natural gas to provide the ""rotten egg"" smell of a gas leak.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

S = 27500J / 308.15molK

Explanation:

Entropy measures the degree of disorganization of a system. It is measured in the entropy change that is equal to the heat exchanged divided by the temperature at which the process occurs.

S2-S1 = Q / T

S = entropy

Q = heat = 27.5 kJ / mol * 1000J / 1KJ = 27500J / mol

T = temperature = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15K

units = J / molK

S = 27500J / 308.15molK

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

Aluminium has the least resistance since It has 3 free electrons per atom. Its resistivity is low compared to other metals provided in the choices (gold, nichrome, tungsten). Low resistivity of metals means a high conductance of the metal referred to.
