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.

How can you use the movement of molecules to determine when a phase change has occurred?
baherus [9]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

The joule and the kilowatt-hour are both units of energy. 15 kw · h is equivalent to how many joules? answer in units of j.
choli [55]

The solution for the problem is:

1 Watt = 1 Joule per second 
1 Watt*second = 1 Joule 

a Kilowatt is 1,000 Watts 
an hour is 60 seconds times 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds 
a Kilowatt * hour is 1,000 Watts in 3,600 seconds 

15 W*h = 15,000 Watt*hour = 15,000 Watt * 3,600 seconds = 54,000,000 Watt*second 

54,000,000 Watt*second = ? Joules 
54,000,000 Joules / second = 54,000,000 Watts
