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

What is the difference between a bar magnet and an electromagnet? (check all that are
lukranit [14]

Answer:

D and A

Explanation:

Hint The basic difference between them is that a bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas an electromagnet is a temporary magnet. An electromagnet is formed when an electric current is passed through wires wound around soft metalcore. An electromagnet loses its magnetism once the current flow is stopped.

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 4.0 x 1018 Hz. What is the
trapecia [35]

Answer: D

Wavelength λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Explanation:

You are given the frequency of an electromagnetic wave to be:

F = 4.0 x 1018 Hz. And the speed of light C to be

C = 3 × 10^8 m/s

From wave speed formula:

Wave speed is the product of waves frequency and wavelength. That is,

V = fλ

Where

f = frequency

λ = wavelength

V = C = speed of light

Substitute the values of the parameters into the formula

C = fλ

3 × 10^8 = 4 × 10^18 × λ

Make λ the subject of formula

λ = (3×10^8)/(4×10^18)

λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 7.5 × 10^-11 m
