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

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a
Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

\theta is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its x-component is

A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ} (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_y = v sin \theta

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its y-component is

A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ}, so the y-component is

B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

11) Which statement about covalent bonds is true? A) Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they form full
Cerrena [4.2K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they overlap electrons to fill their outer shell.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Covalent bond is a type of bond that results from the sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Ionic bond on the other is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metal atoms and non metal atoms, where a metal atom looses electrons and a non-metal atom gains electrons.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The amount of energy required to break an given bond determines how strong a particular bond is.</u></em> Ionic bonds require more energy to break as compared to covalent bond and therefore they are stronger than the covalent bonds.
