A flatbed truck is supported by its four drive wheels, and is moving with an acceleration of 7.4 m/s2. For what value of the coe

Answer:

The value is  \mu  = 0.76

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  acceleration is a =  7.4 \ m /s^2

Generally the force by which the truck bed (truck) is moving with is mathematically represented as

          F  =  ma

Now for the truck cabinet to slip from the truck bed then the frictional force between the truck cabinet  is equal the force by which the the truck bed is moving with that is  

        F_f  =  F

Here  F_f is the frictional force which is mathematically represented as

         F_f  =  \mu *  m *  g

substituting into above equation

         \mu *  m * g  =  ma

=>        \mu  =  \frac{a}{g}

substituting values

           \mu  =  \frac{ 7.4 }{ 9.8}

           \mu  = 0.76

A 2 kg object being pulled across the floor with a speed of 10 m/sec is suddenly
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The frictional force producing this deceleration would have a magnitude of 4\; \rm N.

Explanation:

The velocity of this object changed by \Delta v = (-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}) in \Delta t = 5\; \rm s. The acceleration of this object would be:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\ &= \frac{-10\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}}{5\; \rm s} = -2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this object. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on this object would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= m \, a \\ &= 2\; \rm kg \times (-2\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}) \\ &= -4\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

(1\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} = 1\; {\rm N}.)

If the floor is level, friction would be the only unbalanced force on this object. Thus, the magnitude of the frictional force on this object would also be 4\; {\rm N}, same as the magnitude of the net force on this object.

What is one way that an electric field is different from a magnetic field?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer with Explanation:

Electric field:It is the force per unit charge experienced by rest charge at any given point.

It is the area around the charge which is placed at rest.It is represented by E.

Mathematical formula:

E=\frac{F}{q}

Magnetic field:It is an area around moving charge in which moving charge particle experienced  magnetic force in that area.

Magnetic field is represented by B.

Mathematical formula :

F=qvBsin\theta

Where B=Magnetic field

q=Charge on particle

v=Velocity of particle

F=Magnetic force exert on particle

Find the magnitude of the gravitational force a 63.5 kg person would experience while standing on the surface of Earth with a ma
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 3976N

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating gravitational force between two masses, we have

F = GMm/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses

r is the distance between the masses

F= 6.673 × 10-¹¹ × 5.98 × 10²⁴ × 63.5/ (6.37 × 10^6)^2

F= 2.533×10^16/6.37×10^12

F= 0.3976×10⁴N

F= 3976N

What type of galaxy is M82 based on its appearance in the visible-light view?
SSSSS [86.1K]
<h2>Answer: irregular</h2>

According to Hubble  galaxies are classified into elliptical, spiral and irregular.

 

It should be noted this classification is based only on the visual appearance of the galaxy, and does not take into account other aspects, such as the rate of star formation or the activity of the galactic nucleus.  

The classification is as follows:  

1. Elliptical galaxies: Their main characteristic is that the concentration of stars decreases from the nucleus, which is small and very bright, towards its edges. In addition, they contain a large population of old stars, usually little gas and dust, and some newly formed stars.  

2. Spiral galaxies: They have the shape of flattened disks containing some old stars and also a large population of young stars, enough gas and dust, and molecular clouds that are the birthplace of the stars.  

3. Irregular Galaxies:  Galaxies that do not have well-defined structure and symmetry.  

In this context, galaxy M82 does not match with the first two types of galaxies, because it has not a defined shape.

Therefore, M82 is an  irregular galaxy.
