Kiera, a 330 N girl, steps in water that someone spilt on the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Kiera and the f

shutvik [7]

Answer:

<em>The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and/or velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

$Fr=\mu N$

Where μ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W

Thus, the friction force is:

$Fr=\mu W$

Kiera, the W=330 N girl steps in water that has a coefficient of friction of μ=0.028 with the floor.

The kinetic friction force is:

Fr = 0.028*330

Fr = 9.24 N

The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, $k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m$

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

x is the compression in spring

$x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m$

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

what occurs when force is applied over a certain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force?

faltersainse [42]

An object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and with the same speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. states that forces occur as equal and opposite pairs. The strength of the force is related to the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

What forces shape the stars in galaxies? (Astronomy question, but didn't fit into any categories) PLEASE

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Force of gravity

Explanation:

when the force of gravity pulls large gas clouds and dust together, the concentrated gas clouds and dust collapse under the force of gravity forming stars.

There are many galaxies out there in the universe, each galaxy has its own solar systems, stars, and collection of gas and dust. We (earth) belong to the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy got this name from the Romans. They called in 'via lactea', which directly translates to 'road of milk' because of the milky patch they saw at night.
