Answer:

Coefficient of sliding friction is 0.33.

Explanation:

The force of sliding friction is proportional to the normal force. It is given by:

$F_s=\mu _sF_N$

The normal force of the box is equal to its weight as the force in the vertical direction is balanced.

$F_N= 18N$

$F_s= 6.0N$ (given)

Thus, the coefficient of sliding friction is:

$\mu _s=\frac{F_s}{F_N}=\frac{6.0}{18} = 0.33$

Thus, the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.33.

The magnification of a microscope is increased when_________.

azamat

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is

$M = M_o \times M_e$

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.

Magnification,

$M \propto \dfrac{1}{f}$

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the Earth's surface of 3.40 times the Earth's radius, what is its acceleration d

Alchen [17]

Answer:

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

Explanation:

g = $\frac{GM}{h^{2} }$

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x $10^{-11}$ N $m^{2}$ $kg^{-2}$ ), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x $10^{24}$ kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.

h = 3.40 x R

= 3.40 x 6371 km

h = 21661.4 km

= 21661400 m

Thus,

g = $\frac{6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24} }{(21661400)^{2} }$

= $\frac{3.9857 *10^{14} }{4.6922*10^{14} }$

= 0.84944

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 m $s^{-2}$ .

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range
--------------------------------------...
let t be top height time
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt
t = u sin p/g
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component
=====================
t = HALF the time of flight
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g]
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component

How will heat flow between objects?

alukav5142 [94]

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
