Matter is a substance that occupied space and has mass.
Answer:
Kepler did and stated that planets move in a elliptical orbit with the sun in the center.
Answer:
a)
Explanation:
- A block sliding down an inclined plane, is subject to two external forces along the slide.
- One is the component of gravity (the weight) parallel to the incline.
- If the inclined plane makes an angle θ with the horizontal, this component (projection of the downward gravity along the incline, can be written as follows:
(taking as positive the direction of the movement of the block)
- The other force, is the friction force, that adopts any value needed to meet the Newton's 2nd Law.
- When θ is so large, than the block moves downward along the incline, the friction force can be expressed as follows:
- The normal force, adopts the value needed to prevent any vertical movement through the surface of the incline:
- In equilibrium, both forces, as defined in (1), (2) and (3) must be equal in magnitude, as follows:
- As the block is moving, if the net force is 0, according to Newton's 2nd Law, the block must be moving at constant speed.
- In this condition, the friction coefficient is the kinetic one (μk), which can be calculated as follows:
We can first calculate the net force using the given information.
By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:
F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5
We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):
f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N
Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):
f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17
