Suppose that the coefficient of kinetic friction between Zak's feet and the floor, while wearing socks, is 0.250. Knowing this,

Zak decides to get a running start and then slide across the floor. Part A If Zak's speed is 3.00 m/s when he starts to slide, what distance d will he slide before stopping? Use 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

The distance travel before stopping is 1.84 m

Explanation:

Given :

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu_{k} = 0.250

Zak's speed v = 3 \frac{m}{s}

Gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Work done by frictional force is given by,

  W = \Delta K

 \mu _{k} mg d = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

  d = \frac{v^{2}  }{2 g \mu _{k} }

  d = \frac{9}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.250}

  d = 1.84 m

Therefore, the distance travel before stopping is 1.84 m

How tall would a tower need to be if the period of a pendulum were 30. seconds
Virty [35]
We use the following expression

T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)

Where T is the period of the pendulum

l is the length of the pendulum

and g the acceleration of gravity

We solve for l

l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m

The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high

Describe a well-known hypothesis that was discarded because it was found to be untrue.earth-centered model of the universe. the
polet [3.4K]
The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.
