Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

Define the types of friction and give FOUR examples of each
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Static Friction - acts on objects when they are resting on a surface

Sliding Friction -  friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface

Rolling Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface

Fluid Friction - friction that acts on objects that are moving through a fluid

Explanation:

Examples of static include papers on a tabletop, towel hanging on a rack, bookmark in a book , car parked on a hill.

Example of sliding include sledding, pushing an object across a surface, rubbing one's hands together, a car sliding on ice.

Examples of rolling include truck tires, ball bearings, bike wheels, and car tires.

Examples of fluid include water pushing against a swimmer's body as they move through it , the movement of your coffee as you stir it with a spoon,  sucking water through a straw, submarine moving through water.

Anna pushes a box with a force of 8.00 newtons. She generates a power of 3.00 watts. How much time does it take for Anna to move
QveST [7]
Power is the energy in a system per time.  It will have units of Watts which is equal to joules per second. It can be expressed as:

P = E / t

where E = Force x distance

P = Fd / t
t = Fd / P
t = 8 (9.72) / 3.0
t = 25.92 s

An upright object 2.80 cm tall is placed 16.0 cm away from the vertex of a concave mirror with a center of curvature of 24.0 cm.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

f = 12 cm

Explanation:

<u>Center of Curvature</u>:

The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of  mirror.

<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:

The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of  mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.

<u>Focal Length</u>:

The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.

The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:

f = \frac{R}{2}

where,

f = focal length = ?

R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm

Therefore,

f = \frac{24\ cm}{2}

<u>f = 12 cm</u>
