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

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

What is the correct definition of a fracture?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The correct definition of a fracture is break in the bone

<u>Explanation:</u>

When nay injury results in the breaking or causing any cracking in the bones of any parts then this will lead to fracture. When the injury caused is near the ligament or tissue in which the bone is connected or attached then it will lead to an avulsion fractures. Thus this will lead to the pulling of bone form the original position thereby leading more pain in the spot associated with the fracture.

Sports people are the victims of this type of fracture. Fracture may occur anywhere mostly legs,hands,ankle,hip and elbow. sometimes it may be in finger, shoulder,knee,etc. The main symptoms that are associated with fracture includes, selling, inability in moving the fractured part or pain associated when trying to move that part, Loss of the affected part's function,etc.

A cassette recorder uses a plug-in transformer to convert 120 V to 12.0 V, with a maximum current output of 200 mA. What is the

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

20 mA

Explanation:

We have given that the transformer convert 120 V to 12 V means it is a step down transformer

The turn ratio of the transformer is given as $a=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{120}{12}=10$ here $V_!$ is primary voltage and $V_2$ is secondary voltage

As the voltage decreases from primary to secondary so current will increase from primary to secondary

We have given output current that is secondary current so primary that is input current will be less

So input current $=\frac{200}{10}=20mA$

A proton having an initial velvocity of 20.0i Mm/s enters a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.300 T with a direction perpend

Sonja [21]

The time interval for which the proton remains in the field is -

Δt = $$\frac{\pi R}{40}$ .

We have a proton entering a uniform magnetic field which is in a direction perpendicular to the proton's velocity.

We have to determine time interval during which the proton is in the field.

<h3>What is the magnitude of force on the charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field?</h3>

The magnitude of force on the charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field is given by -

F = qvB sinθ

According to the question, we have -

Entering Velocity (v) = 20 i m/s

Magnetic field intensity (B) = 0.3 T

Leaving velocity (u) = - 20 j m/s

Now -

The entering and leaving velocity vectors have 90 degrees difference between them. Therefore, only a quarter of distance of the complete circular path of radius 'R' is traced by the proton. Therefore -

d = $$\frac{2\pi r}{4}$ = $$\frac{\pi R}{2}$

Since, the radius of circular path is not given, we will assume it R.

Therefore, time for which proton remained in the field is -

t = $$\frac{\pi R}{2v} = \frac{\pi R}{40}$

Hence, the time interval for which the proton remains in the field is -

Δt = $$\frac{\pi R}{40}$
