8/4 = y/y-x

8y - 8x = 4y

y = 2x

y = 2 x 4

y = 8

Hope this helps

Ethan pushes a wooden box across a carpeted floor. Then he pushes the same box across a smooth marble floor. Why does Ethan find

masha68 [24]

Answer:

A. The box experiences more friction on the carpeted floor

Explanation:

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it slides along a surface. The magnitude of the friction is given by

$F=\mu mg$

where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, which depends on the type of material of the surface: the larger this coefficient, the stronger the friction, the more difficult is to push the box along the surface. Generally, a smooth surface has a lower coefficient of friction, while a rough surface has a larger coefficient of friction.

In this case, Ethan find it easier to push the box on the marble floor, because marble is smoother than the carpet and so friction is weaker, while for the carpeted floor the coefficient of friction is larger and so the friction is stronger, making it more difficult to push the box.

A wheel of radius 30 cm is rotating at a rate of 2.0 revolutions every 0.080 s. (A) through what angle, in radians, does the whe

Alchen [17]

A)
2revs in 0.08s
so in 1s thats 25revs
therefore thats 50π radians in one second

b)
well, ω=2π/T
therefore ω=50π = 157.079rads^-1
and v=rω where r is in meters;
v=0.3x157.079
v=47.123ms^-1

c)
f=1/T
f=1/period for one rotation
1 rotation = 0.08/2 = 0.04
f=1/0.04
f=25Hz

What is one common source of background radiation?

boyakko [2]

One common source of background radiation would be radon. It is a radioactive gas that emanates from the ground. It is usually found in igneous rock and soil. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
