Answer:

μ = 0.375

Explanation:

F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N

W = weight of the trash can = 200 N

f = frictional force acting on trash can

Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as

F - f = 0

75 - f = 0

f = 75 N

μ = Coefficient of friction

frictional force is given as

f = μ W

75 = μ (200)

μ = 0.375

The force of attraction between a -165.0 uC and +115.0 C charge is 6.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in m
Simora [160]

Answer:

  • The distance between the charges is 5,335.026 m

Explanation:

To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:

F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is Coulomb's constant, q_1 and q_2 are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.

Working a little the equation, we can take:

d^2 = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}

d = \sqrt{ k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}

And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem

k= 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \\q_1 = 165.0 \mu C \\q_2 = 115.0 C\\F=- 6.00

(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 28,462,500 \ m^2}}

d = 5,335.026 m

And this is the distance between the charges.

Can someone help me with this please?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

C2, C1, C4, C5 and C6 are in parallel. Therefore, we use the formula Cp = C1 + C2 + ....

Cp = C2 + C1 + C4 + C5 + C6 = ( 7 * 10 ^-3) + (18 * 10^-6) + (0.8F) + (200 * 10^-3 F) + (750 * 10^-6) = 1.008F

Now, Cp will become one capacitor and it will be aligned with C3, therefore it will now become a circuit in series.

We use the formula: 1/Cs = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + .... + ....1/Cn

Thus,

1/Cs = 1/C3 + 1/Cp

1/Cs = 1/(14 * 10^-3 F) + 1/(1.008F)

Cs = 1.4 * 10 ^-2 or if we do not round too much it will give exactly 0.0138 F

So the answer should be a)

A balloon-powered car rolls across the floor at a speed of 0.711 m/s. How long does it take to cover 8.25 m?
devlian [24]

Answer:

Time = 11.60 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Given the following data;

Speed = 0.711m/s

Distance = 8.25m

To find the time;

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Time = \frac{8.25}{0.711}

Time = 11.60 secs.

Calculate the fraction of methyl isonitrile molecules that have an energy of 160.0 kJ or greater at 510 K .
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

Explanation:

E_a = Activation energy = 160 kJ

T = Temperature = 510 K

R = Universal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

The fraction of energy is given by

f=e^{-\dfrac{E_a}{RT}}\\\Rightarrow f=e^{-\dfrac{160000}{8.314\times 510}}\\\Rightarrow f=4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}

The fraction of energy is 4.0932672025\times 10^{-17}
