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.

What is escape velocity ​
DanielleElmas [232]
Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit.

How do solar panels work with conduction, convection and radiation?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<em>In the case of a solar thermal panel we are trying to heat above the ambient temperature so conduction and convection will work against us by taking heat from the panel to the out- side world. ... The sun (at 6000 C surface temperature) is hotter than the solar panel so the panel will get hot due to the solar radiation.</em>

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i
NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.

Grace [21]

The law of energy conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, so choices B to D are immediately invalid. Choice A can explain this occurrence: <u>A. Some of the energy is used to combat friction, and thus is transformed from mechanical energy to heat.</u>
