The force of friction = (weight) x (coefficient of friction)

Skier's weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (76.5) x (9.8) = 749.7 N

Force of friction = (749.7) x (coefficient of friction) = 60.0 N

Coefficient of friction = 60 / 749.7 = <u>0.08 </u> (rounded)

Choice-'A' is the closest choice offered.

Write down Newton's second law in terms of momentum and acceleration. Write down this law in the form of differential equation (
svetoff [14.1K]

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force. The mathematical expression is given by:

F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}

Where

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity with which it is moving

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Momentum of a particle is given by the product of mass and velocity as :

p=mv

Hence, this is the required solution.

If a force of 50 Newton’s was applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the objects acceleration be?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:  100 m/s^2

F=ma

Explanation:

50N = 50 kg*m/s^2

500g = 0.5 kg

F=ma

a = F/m

a = (50 kg*m/s^2)/(0.5 kg)

a = 100 m/s^2

What is oxygenated blood? De-oxygenated blood?
WITCHER [35]
Oxygenated blood that has oxygen in them while de-oxygenated blood has carbon dioxide. in which the oxygenated blood carries the oxygen throughout the body since that cells need oxygen to function. called "gas exchange." once the cells got their required oxygen. the carbon dioxide needs somewhere to go, thus having deoxygenated blood. and that carbon dioxide needs to get out of the body

barxatty [35]

Answer:

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K
