In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, $\theta=20.0$ °

Mass of package is, $m=2.50\ kg$

Initial speed of package is, $u=2.00\ m/s$

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, $v=0\ m/s$

Distance of travel along the incline is, $d=12.0\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be $\mu$ .

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

$a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta$ ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)$

Solving for 'a', we get:

$-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2$

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

$\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6}$ ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for $\mu$ . This gives,

$9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

(Q008) Magnetic anomalies are a. found only on the seafloor. b. measured with an instrument called an inclinometer. c. defined a

likoan [24]

Answer: D. places where the magnetic field strength is either greater or less than the expected strength.

Explanation:

Magnetic anomaly refers to the change in the magnitude of the magnetic field of the Eatth with respect to the location's expected value.

Magnetic anomalies are places where the magnetic field strength is either greater or less than the expected strength. Therefore, the correct option is D.

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail

Darya [45]

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature

Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.
