Answer:

a) μs=0.34

b) μk=0.27

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 21 kg

Force required to move the block ,F= 73 N

The force required to keep the block in motion ,F ' = 58 N

Coefficient of the static friction :

The maximum value of the static friction force

fr= μs m g

At rest position

F= fr

73 = μs x 21 x 10 (take g= 10 m/s²)

$\mu_s=\dfrac{73}{210}$

μs=0.34

Therefore the Coefficient of the static friction will be 0.34.

Coefficient of the kinetic friction ;

Value of the kinetic friction force ,fr= μk m g

F' = Fr

To move the block at constant speed

58 = μs x 21 x 10 (take g= 10 m/s²)

$\mu_k=\dfrac{58}{210}$

μk=0.27

Therefore the Coefficient of the static friction will be 0.27.

Why is conserving energy resources not a simple problem with a simple solution?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Because the uncontrolled and unreasonable use of energy resources in the past few decades has led to the depletion of conventional type of resources. Although, measures are taken at the government levels to control the energy consumption, these attempts only meet with little success. Public awareness is the only way to successfully deal with this problem.

Why is the overall charge of the atom neutral or zero?

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

this is because the neutrons do not have a charge, the things that have charge in an atom are electrons and protons.

and in the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons so you can see that A is not the answer

if you see the periodic table, you will know that the number of electrons and protons are equal, so the charges cancel each other out, hence the charge of an atom will be neutral

let me give you a tip which I got from my teacher, never write there is no charge in the atom, this suggests that there is no protons or electrons.

instead, write, the it is neutral

hope it helps if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it out

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram

bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

$v_a = 70 mph$

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

$v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_a = 350 m$

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{350}{31.3}$

$t = 11.2 s$

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

$v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}$

$v_b = 22.35 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_b = 590 feet$

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

$d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m$

now the time to hit the other car is

$t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}$

$t_b = 8.05 s$

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

A ball rolls down the hill which has a vertical height of 15 m. Ignoring friction what would be the gravitational potential ener

trasher [3.6K]

a) Potential energy: 147 m [J]

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m is its mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

In this problem,

h = 15 m

We call 'm' the mass of the ball, since we don't know it

So, the potential energy of the ball at the top of the hill is

$U=(m)(9.8)(15)=147 m$ (J)

b) Velocity of the ball at the bottom of the hill: 17.1 m/s

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of friction all the potential energy of the ball is converted into kinetic energy as the ball reaches the bottom of the hill. Therefore we can write:

$U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the final velocity of the ball

We know from part a) that

U = 147 m

Substituting into the equation above,

$147 m = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

And re-arranging for v, we find the velocity:

$v=\sqrt{2\cdot 147}=17.1 m/s$
