When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Readme [11.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .

The temperature of a black body is 500 and its radiation is of wavelength 600 . If the number of oscillators with energy is 100
stiks02 [169]

Answer: An equation is missing in your question below is the missing equation

a) ≈ 8396

b) 150 nm/k

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the number of Oscillators in the black body</u>

number of oscillators = 8395

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) determine the peak wavelength of the black body </u>

Black body temperature = 20,000 K

applying Wien's law / formula

λmax = b / T  ------ ( 1 )

T = 20,000 K

b = 3 * 10^6 nm

∴  λmax = 150 nm/k

Convert planks constant in cgs system
dezoksy [38]

in cgs system, plank's constant= h=6.626 x10⁻²⁶ erg s

Value of Plank's constant in SI system= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js

now 1 Joule= 10⁷ ergs

so h= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js (10⁷ ergs/1J)

h=6.626 x10⁻²⁷ erg s

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?
leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water                 ---> 1</span>

 

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

 

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m        (ANSWER)</span>

Which statements describe the relationship between the area and the biodiversity of an ecosystem? Check all that apply. Large ec
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

A large area of a forest will likely have higher biodiversity than a smaller area of the same forest.

A half acre of rainforest would likely have greater biodiversity than a full acre of desert.

Explanation:

biodiversity of an ecosystem can be simply explain as the variability that exist in the ecosystem. These are difference that exist between living organism in terms of their habitat, their species and so on. However there exist different relationship between the area of ecosystem and the biodiversity of an ecosystem such that An ecosystem with large area of a forest will likely have higher biodiversity than a smaller area of the same forest.

Another one is that A half acre of rainforest would likely have greater biodiversity than a full acre of desert.
