The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unit less number called the

Physics
1 answer:
Romashka [77]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object is equal to the coefficient of friction. It is a dimensional less number. It can be given by :

F=\mu N

N is normal force.

\mu = coefficient of friction

\mu=\dfrac{F}{N}

On a frictionless surface how much force is necessary to accelerate a 0.49 kg object to the left at 4.8 m/s2?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

<h2>2.35 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

force = 0.49 × 4.8 = 2.352

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.35 N</h3>

A helium atom (mass 4.0 u) moving at 598 m/s to the right collides with an oxygen molecule (mass 32 u) moving in the same direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of helium ,m₁ = 4 u

u₁=598 m/s

Mass of oxygen ,m₂ = 32 u

u₂  = 401 m/s

v₂ =445 m/s

Given that initially both are moving in the same direction and lets take they are moving in the right direction.

Speed of the helium after collision = v₁

There is no any external force on the masses that is why the linear momentum will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final linear momentum

P = m v

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

598 x 4 + 32 x 401 = 4 x v₁+ 32 x 445

v₁ = 246 m/s

Speed of the helium after collision = 246 m/s

Melvin is traveling south on I-95 at 29 m/s (65 mph) when a deer jumps into his path, 50 m ahead. a. If his reaction time is 0.1
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. 5.22 meters

b. 2.9 seconds

c. No, Melvin does not hit the deer

Explanation:

The parameters with which Melvin is travelling are as follows;

The speed of Melvin's motion, u = 29 m/s

The distance from Melvin at which the deer jumps into the path = 50 m

a. Distance, d = Velocity, u × Time, t

The time it takes Melvin to react = 0.18 seconds

The distance, "d₁" Melvin travels before his foot hits the break = The velocity with which Melvin was traveling, "u" × The time duration it takes Melvin to hit the brakes, "t₁"

∴ d₁ = 29 m/s × 0.18 s = 5.22 m

The distance, Melvin travels before his foot hits the break = d₁ = 5.22 m

b. Melvin's acceleration after his foot hits the brakes, a = -10 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes "t₂" it takes for him to come to a complete stop given as follows;

y = u + a × t₂

Where;

v = The final velocity after Melvin comes to a complete stop = 0 m/s

By substituting the known values, we have;

0 = 29 m/s + (-10 m/s²) × t₂ = 29 m/s - 10 m/s² × t₂

∴ 29 m/s = 10 m/s² × t₂

t₂ = (29 m/s)/(10 m/s²) = 2.9 s

The time it takes it takes for him to come to a complete stop = t₂ = 2.9 s

c. The distance, "d₂", Melvin reaches while accelerating (decelerating) at -10 m/s² to come to a complete stop is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·d₂

Therefore, we have;

0² = (29 m/s)² + 2 × (-10 m/s) × d₂ = (29 m/s)² - 2 × 10 m/s × d₂

∴  (29 m/s)² = 2 × 10 m/s × d₂

d₂ = ((29 m/s)²)/(2 × 10 m/s²) = (841 m²/s²)/(20 m/s²) = 42.05 m

The distance, Melvin reaches while accelerating (decelerating) at -10 m/s² to come to a complete stop = d₂ = 42.05 m

Given that d₂ = 42.05 m < 50 m (The distance separating Melvin's initial location and the deer, Melvin does not hit the deer.

Kevin jumps straight up in the air to a height of 1 meter.At the top of his jump, he has potential energy of 1,000 joules.Answer
Llana [10]
Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height

well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g

so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons
