If you write down the formula for friction, you will get an answer.

Ff = u * N Where N is a push down force that an object experiences.

u (mu) is a constant and has no units

It may not be accelerating and still experience friction. A is not correct.

Color and Density will not affect the frictional force. B is not so.

Buoyant forces are a different thing altogether. Generally friction has nothing to do with them. C is incorrect.

The last one is your answer. Technically mg should be the answer and not mass, but the second part is correct.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hour

Serhud [2]

For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient.

m = rise/run 
=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) 

the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" 
(x1,y1) = (3,53) 
(x2,y2) = (6,62) 

sub values back into the equation 
m = (62-53)/(6-3) 
m = 9/3 
m = 3 

now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form 
y-y1 = m(x-x1) 
where x1 and y1 are any set of point given 
y-53 = 3(x-3) 
y-53 = 3x - 9 
y = 3x - 9 + 53 
y = 3x + 44 

y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
I hope this helps.

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera

Fantom [35]

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed $v_f = 100 m/s$ , its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
$W= K_f - K_i = K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J$

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
$W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J$
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is $-W_f$ :
$W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J$

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W$

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
$P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp$

Solve this system of equations without graphing and show your reasoning 5x+y=7 20x+2=y

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

5x + y = 7

20x - y = -2

25x = 5

x = (1/5)

5(1/5) + y = 7

1 + y = 7 .

y = 6
