Answer:

1.0×10³ N

Explanation:

μs is the static coefficient of friction. That's the friction that acts on a stationary (non-moving) object when being pushed or pulled.

μk is the kinetic coefficient of friction. That's the friction that acts on a moving object.

To budge the pig (while it's still stationary), we need to overcome the static friction.

F = N μs

For a non-moving object on level ground, the normal force N equals the weight.

F = mg μs

Given m = 130 kg and μs = 0.80:

F = (130 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.80)

F = 1019.2 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force needed to budge the pig is 1.0×10³ N.

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s

marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

See attachment for complete solving.

Explanation:

Given that:The brief pulses of energy absorbed by the retina welds the detached portion back into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circular spot 510 μm in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid that fills most of the eye) has an index of refraction of 1.34.A) If the laser pulses are each 1.5 ms, long, how much energy is delivered to the retina with each pulse?B) What average pressure does the pulse of the laser beam exert on the retina as it is fully absorbed by the circular spot?C) What is the wavelength of the laser light inside the vitreous humor of the eye?D) What is the frequency of the laser light inside the vitreous humor of the eye?E) What is the maximum value of the electric field in the laser beam?F) What is the maximum value of the magnetic field in the laser beam.
