Answer:

μ = 0.33

Equal to 3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block. There are three forces:

Normal force N pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Friction force Nμ pushing opposite the direction of motion.

Sum of forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Nμ = ma

Substitute.

mgμ = ma

μ = a/g

μ = (3.2 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.33

As found earlier, the acceleration is a = gμ. Since g and μ are constant, a is also constant, so it does not change with velocity.

It is generally seen that, when a substance absorbs heat energy, its heating curve shows two plateaus. Which phenomenon is indic

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Change of phase.

Explanation:

When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.

The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.

The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

m = F / a

m = 60.0 / 0.870

m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

p₀ = p_f

m v = M v '

v ’= $\frac{m}{M} \ v$

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
