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.

Which of the following represents a system that is completely open?
fredd [130]
<span>The correct answer is D. The system that is completely open of the available answers would be an open pot of boiling water. This is due to the fact that an open system is defined as one in which energy or mass can be put out into or taken from the environment. Therefore, the evaporation of water due to the heat when a pot is boiling would be an example of lost energy, and therefore this is an open system.</span>

You are 1.8 m tall and stand 2.8 m from a plane mirror that extends vertically upward from the floor. on the floor 1 m in front

This problem must be solved using a sketch. I attached an illustration of the problem.
You must trace the ray that reflects from the top off the table to your eyes. This how eyesight works, light rays reflects off the objects into your eyes.
Law of reflection tells us that light ray reflects off the surface at the same angle in which it falls on it( i attached another illustration of this).
Now we can write tangens equations:
tan(\theta)=\frac{h-0.8}{1}\\&#10;tan(\theta)=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\&#10;\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}
We solve for h:
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\&#10;2.8h-0.8\cdot 2.8=1.8-h\\&#10;3.8h=1.8+2.24\\&#10;h=\frac{4.04}{3.8}\\&#10;h=1.06m
