Samantha is refinishing her rusty wheelbarrow. She moves her sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time movi

ng with a total distance of 0.12 m. Samantha pushes the sandpaper against the surface with a normal force of 2.6 N. The coefficient of friction for the metal/sandpaper interface is 0.92. How much work is done by the normal force during the sanding process

Answer:

W = 12.96 J

Explanation:

The force acting in the direction of motion of the sand paper is the frictional force. So, we first calculate the frictional force:

F = μR

where,

F = Friction Force = ?

μ = 0.92

R = Normal Force = 2.6 N

Therefore,

F = (0.92)(2.6 N)

F = 2.4 N

Now, the displacement is given as:

d = (0.12 m)(45)

d = 5.4 m

So, the work done will be:

W = F d

W = (2.4 N)(5.4 m)

<u>W = 12.96 J</u>

Find the ratio of the final speed of the electron to the final speed of the hydrogen ion, assuming non-relativistic speeds. Take
KiRa [710]

Answer:

\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}

Explanation:

From conservation of energy states that

K_{i}+v_{i}=v_{f}+K_{f}\\ as\\K_{i}=0\\K_{f}=1/2mv^{2}\\ v_{i}=qv\\v_{f}=0\\So\\qv=1/2mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m} }\\ Velocity_{electron}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}} }\\Velocity_{hydrogen}=\sqrt{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2qv}{m_{e}}}{\frac{2qv}{m_{h}}}}\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{h}}{m_{e}} }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=\sqrt{\frac{1.67*10^{-27} }{9.11*10^{-31} } }\\\frac{V_{e}}{V_{h}}=0.428*10^{2}

What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.
