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

A stone fell from the top of a cliff into the ocean. In the air, it had an average speed of 161616 \text{m/s}m/sstart text, m, s
givi [52]

Answer: It takes the stone 7seconds in air and 5seconds in water

Explanation: complete question: How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?

total distance = sum of velocity * time for both legs of the journey;

let the time taken in air be t

hence time taken in water is 12-t

127 = 16*t + 3(12-t)

127 = 16t + 36 - 3t

127 - 36 = 16t - 3t

91 = 13t

t = 91/13 = 7 seconds 

Hence time taken in air = 7 seconds

time taken in water is 12 - 7 = 5 seconds
