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

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

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu

Deffense [45]

Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.

Why do hot stars look bluer than cool stars?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Explanation:

As we know that

According to Wien's law wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature .

λ.T = Constant.

λ.∝ 1 /T

As we know that star radiates wavelength and this wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature of the star.

The temperature of cool star is cooler than the temperature of hot star that is cool star looks red and hot star looks blue.Cool star have low energy and hot star have high energy.

So option B is correct.

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before h

ASHA 777 [7]

If it starts from 0m/s...
s=?
u=0
a=-10
t=8
s=ut +1/2at^2
so s=(0×8)+ (0.5×-10×64)
s=0+(32×-10)
s=32×-10
s=-320metres

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Equator

Explanation:

The equator is the line of latitude that separates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.Its magnitude is 0 degrees latitude. The equator and other lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The lines of longitude which is 0 degrees is known as the Greenwich meridian. The longitudinal lines however are not parallel as they converge at the poles.
