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

A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby has a mass of 4kg. The carriage ha

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

E=252J

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:

E mech=K+U

Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

Ug=mgh

Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.

The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.

W=→Fg=mg

We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.

Ug=12N⋅21m

⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Hope it helped, God bless you!

hypotenuse of a right triangle.
v^2 = 90^2 + 4^2
v^2 = 8116
Taking the square root of both sides here we get,
v = 90.1 m/s

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the

cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}$
