Answer:

μ = 0.0315

Explanation:

Since the car moves on a horizontal surface, if we sum forces equal to zero on the Y-axis, we can determine the value of the normal force exerted by the ground on the vehicle. This force is equal to the weight of the cart (product of its mass by gravity)

N = m*g (1)

The friction force is equal to the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

F = μ*N (2)

This way replacing 1 in 2, we have:

F = μ*m*g (2)

Using the theorem of work and energy, which tells us that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies and the work done on a body is equal to the final kinetic energy of the body. We can determine an equation that relates the frictional force to the initial speed of the carriage, so we will determine the coefficient of friction.

\frac{1}{2} *m*v_{i}^{2}-(F*d)=  \frac{1}{2} *m*v_{f}^{2}

where:

vf = final velocity = 0

vi = initial velocity = 85 [km/h] = 23.61 [m/s]

d = displacement = 900 [m]

F = friction force [N]

The final velocity is zero since when the vehicle has traveled 900 meters its velocity is zero.

Now replacing:

(1/2)*m*(23.61)^2 = μ*m*g*d

0.5*(23.61)^2 = μ*9,81*900

μ = 0.0315

ycow [4]

Answer:

(A)

Explanation:

We know , electric potential energy between two charge particles of charges "q" and "Q" respectively is given by kqQ/r where r is the distance between them.

Since the two charged particles are moving apart, the distance between them (r) increases and thus electrical potential energy decreases.

Which of the following is/are true? Electromagnetic waves are created by accelerating charges. Electromagnetic waves are transve
Vikki [24]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

(a). true  

whenever  charge particle  move back and froth from its mean position then it will produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, . so an em wave can be obtain by accelerating charge

(b). true

the electric field and the magnetic field have vibrations in the perpendicular direction along  the motion of the wave  so electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. therefore, the EM wave is a Transverse wave

(c) true .

The Electromagnetic wave consists of the two mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields  and also both fields are  perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

(d) true .

An electromagnetic wave  carry  energy through  vacuum with a speed   of 3 \times 10^8 m/s  

   so , all of the above are true.
