Kevin is refinishing his rusty wheelbarrow. He moves his sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time moving a

total distance of 0.15 m. Kevin pushes the sandpaper against the surface with a normal force of 1.8 N. The coefficient of friction for the metal/sandpaper interface is 0.92. How much work is done by the kinetic frictional force during the sanding process

W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules

Kenitic Energy (KE)<br> 1.doubled
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

mass

Explanation:

This energy of motion is what we call kinetic energy. ... In fact, kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass: if you double the mass, then you double the kinetic energy. Second, the faster something is moving, the greater the force it is capable of exerting and the greater energy it possesses.

Question 1 of 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Option D. ²²²₉₀Th

Explanation:

Let the unknown be ⁿₘZ. Thus, the equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

Next, we shall determine n, m and Z. This can be obtained as follow:

For n:

226 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

226 – 4 = n

222 = n

n = 222

For m:

92 = 2 + m

Collect like terms

92 – 2 = m

90 = m

m = 90

For Z:

ⁿₘZ => ²²²₉₀Z => ²²²₉₀Th

Therefore, the complete equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ²²²₉₀Th

Thus, the unknown is ²²²₉₀Th

What would occur if the index of refraction of a material was less than n=1?
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is (A). The speed of light would increase to a speed larger than the maximum speed of light in vacuum.

The index of refraction is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=C/V

here, n is the index of refraction, c the speed of light in vacuum, v is speed of light in any medium.

Now if the value of index of refraction is less than one, than the value of speed of light would be greater than the speed of light in the vacuum.

Which compares the thermal energy found in a piece of coal with the thermal energy found in a newly opened coal mine?
9966 [12]

<span>The thermal energy found in a piece of coal is lesser than in the thermal energy in a newly opened coal mine. The newly opened coal mine requires a greater thermal energy to really open it due to its solid structure. Whereas in a piece of coal, it only requires a lesser amount of thermal energy to extract it.</span>
