Gravitational potential energy stored in cat= mgh ( m= mass of cat, h = height of cat from ground) = 7x9.8x3 = 205.8 J

Light intensity is?

Fittoniya [83]

The correct answer is:
<span>The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
</span> $I= \frac{P}{A}$
<span>but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
</span> $P= \frac{E}{t}$
<span>this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
</span> $I= \frac{E}{tA}$ <span>
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.</span>

A car travels at a steady 40.0 m/s around a horizontal curve of radius 200 m. What is the minimumcoefficient of static friction

zhenek [66]

Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:

Centripetal force is, $F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

The frictional force is given as:

Friction = Normal force × Coefficient of static friction

$f=\mu N$

As there is no vertical motion, therefore, $N=mg$ . So,

$f=\mu mg$

Now, the centripetal force is provided by the frictional force. Therefore,

Frictional force = Centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu = \frac{(40\ m/s)^2}{200\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\\mu=\frac{1600\ m^2/s^2}{1960\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.816$

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

A chair of mass 15.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of

Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation: The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.
