Jonah is trying to move his 22-kg desk by pushing on it with a force of 130 N, but his brother is leaning on it with a downward

force of 24 N, just preventing it from moving. What is the coefficient of static friction between the desk and the floor?

Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are 5 forces on the desk:

Weight force mg pulling down

Applied force 24 N pushing down

Normal force Fn pushing up

Applied force 130 N pushing right

Friction force Fnμ pushing left

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg − 24 = 0

Fn = mg + 24

Fn = (22)(9.8) + 24

Fn = 240

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

130 − Fnμ = 0

Fnμ = 130

μ = 130 / Fn

μ = 130 / 240

μ = 0.54

The volume of 2.0 kg of helium in a piston-cylinder device is initially 7 m3. Now the helium is compressed to 5 m3 while its pre
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

A) T1 = 269.63 K

T2 = 192.59 K

B) W = -320 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial volume: V1 = 7 m³

Final Volume; V2 = 5 m³

Constant Pressure; P = 160 KPa

Mass; m = 2 kg

To find the initial and final temperatures, we will use the ideal gas formula;

T = PV/mR

Where R is gas constant of helium = R = 2.0769 kPa.m/kg

Thus;

Initial temperature; T1 = (160 × 7)/(2 × 2.0769) = 269.63 K

Final temperature; T2 = (160 × 5)/(2 × 2.0769) = 192.59 K

B) world one is given by the formula;

W = P(V2 - V1)

W = 160(5 - 7)

W = -320 KJ

Jack drops a stone from rest off of the top of a bridge that is 24.4 m above the ground. After the stone falls 6.6 m, Jill throw
alukav5142 [94]
-17.555m/s

first I found the time it took for jacks stone to reach the bottom, using the formula vf = vi + at, vf and vi are final and initial velocities.

then i found the velocity at 6.6m using vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad
and I found the time it took to get to 6.6m, so that I knew how long Jill waited to throw her stone, I used the formula d = t(vi+vf)/2, then i done total time - the time she waited, to get the time it took for there stones to hit the ground at the same time.

then to find the initial velocity of her throw I used the formula d = vit + (at^2)/2
