Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

As we know that the friction force between two sliding surfaces is given by the formula

$F_f = \mu F_n$

here

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

it depends on the the inter molecular force between the molecules of the two surfaces which slide over each other

now if we will increase the normal force then it will increase the force of friction

but if will not change the value of coefficient of friction between two surface as it is property of the surface only

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan

Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes

mr Goodwill [35]

The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time $\Delta t$ :
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
$\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s$
the charge is
$Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C$

One electron has a charge of $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$ , therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
$N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23}$ electrons

A paper pinwheel is spinning in the wind. Which statement is correct about the forces responsible for the rotation?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot.

Why is the sky blue?

Levart [38]

Answer:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?

slava [35]

Answer:

The tangential velocity of a rotating object is:

v = r*w

where r is the radius, and w is the angular velocity.

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency.

We know that the record plater does 11 revolutions in 20 seconds, then it does:

11 rev/20s = 0.55 rev/s = f

then we have:

w = 2*pi*0.55 s^-1 = 2*3.14*0.55 s^-1 = 3.454 s^-1

The radius of a record player is really variable, it is around 10 inches, so i will use r = 10in, which is the rotating part of the record player.

then the tangential velocity is:

v = 10in*3.454 s^-1 = 34.54 in/s
