Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

There are two types of force of friction:

- Static friction: this is the force of friction that occurs when the object is at rest

- Kinetic friction: this is the force of friction that occurs when the object is in motion

In this problem, the girl is sitting on the sled, and the sled is sliding: this means that the object is in motion, therefore the force of friction that we have to calculate in this problem is the force of kinetic friction.

The force of kinetic friction acting on an object sliding over a flat surface is given by

$F_f = \mu_k N$

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal force on the object

In this problem:

$\mu_k = 0.25$

N = 636 N

Therefore, the force of kinetic friction is

$F_f=(0.25)(636)=159 N$

The force of gravity typically acts in a downward direction on the object on earth when an object is standing still, on the flat

Alja [10]

The normal force acts to counter the gravitational force, that is the upward direction.

Velocity is:

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The Quantity of theory of money states:

M * V = P * Y

Where,

M = Money supply

V = Velocity of money exchange

P = The price level

Y = Real GDP

- By re-arranging the formula and solving for "V" we have:

V = P*Y / M

- The expression on right hand side increases if exchange of dollars increases.

A 1000 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.0 m/s2 for 10 m, starting from rest. a. How much work does gravity do on the elevator

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a)= 98kJ

b)=108kJ

c) = 10kJ

Explanation:

a. The work that is done by gravity on the elevator is:

Work = force * distance

= mass * gravity * distance

= 1000 * 9.81 * 10

= 98,000 J

= 98kJ

b)The net force equation in the cable

T - mg = ma

T = m(g+a)

T = 1000(9.8 + 10)

T = 10800N

The work done by the cable is

W = T × d

= 10800N × 10

= 108000

=108kJ

c) PE at 10m = 1000 * 9.81 * 10 = 98,100 J

Work done by cable = PE +KE

108,100 J = KE + 98,100 J

KE = 10,000 J

= 10kJ

Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,

snow_lady [41]

The capacitor is used to store electric charge.That is what makes capacitors special. 
The charge that flows into the capacitor is stored on the plate of the capacitor that the source voltage is connected to. When current flows into a capacitor, the charges get “stuck” on the plates because they can’t get past the insulating dielectric. One plate is positively charged and the other negatively The stationary charges on these plates create an electric field. When charges group together on a capacitor like this, the cap is storing electric energy just as a battery might store chemical energy.
