Answer:

The coefficient of static friction,  μ = 0.153

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the parcel, m = 20 kg

The acceleration of the lorry, a = 1.5 m/s²

The normal force acting on the parcel,

                                       f = m x g

                                         = 20 x 9.8

                                        = 196 N

The static frictional force acting on the lorry,

                                   F = 20 x 1.5

                                      = 30 N

The coefficient of static is

                     μ = F / f

                        = 30 / 196

                        = 0.153

Hence, the coefficient of static friction,  μ = 0.153

The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.3 m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a c
never [62]

Answer:

2.29 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of the stream to north,x = 3.3 m/s

speed of the ship,z = 8 m/s

Speed of the stream is in north direction, to move the ship in west direction ship should move in south direction.

To solve this a right angle triangle is constructed.

where speed of the stream is base and speed of cruise is hypotenuse.

now, speed of ship with respect to ground

z² = x² + y²

y² = z² - x²

y² = 8² - 3.3²

y = \sqrt{53.11}

y = 2.29 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ship with respect to ground is equal to 2.29 m/s.

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

m is the mass of object

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}

m = 0.25 kg

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}

k = 24.09 N/m

or

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.

1. A man travels 45 m in 35 seconds. How fast is that?<br> What’s the answer
Natalija [7]

Answer:

1.28

Explanation:

If you want to find the m/s you would divide distance by time, so

45 divided by 35 would equal 1.28571429 and so on.

you can just write the three first numbers.
