So we know coefficient of f times normal force is friction. So do 100= .25 times x. Now solve for x. You get 400. So 400 is the normal force. And we know normal force equals weight in these types of problems so the answer is 400

Before the experiment, the total momentum of the system is 2.5 kg m/s to the right and the kinetic energy is 5J. After the exper
finlep [7]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1} and the kinetic energy is 5~J. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is  2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}, but the kinetic energy is reduced to 4~J. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).

Which structure reduces friction between joints?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The cartilage is the structure that reduces friction between joints.

Explanation:

Cartilage is the tissue between the bone joints. They are composed of several membranes and cellular groups. One of them called synovial membrane which provides lubricant to the edges of tissue that are touched by the bones. Reducing the friction and absorbing it so the body can move without obstacles.

Motion is always compared to something called
HACTEHA [7]

Movement can be without change in positions. As only a part of it can be made to move. If you move there is a motion and if there is a motion there is a movement so they're same thing. In motion whole of body moves, but in movements only the parts of body moves.

What is the law of variation of the period T of a simple pendulum
DIA [1.3K]
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration. As we can see, the period of a simple pendulum depends only on its length.

A man works on a striaght road from his home to market 2.5km away dwith a speed of 5km/h.Finding the market closed, he instantly
umka21 [38]

Answer:

5.625km/h

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between home and market, d=2.5 km

Speed, v1=5km/h

Speed, v2=7.5 km/h

We have to find the average speed of the man over the interval of time 0 to 40min.

Time,t=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

t_1=\frac{2.5}{5}=0.5 h=0.5\times 60=30 min

1 hour =60 min

t_2=\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}hour=\frac{60}{3}=20min

Distance traveled by man in 10 min with speed 7.5 km/h=\frac{2.5}{20}\times 10=2.5/2km

Therefore,

Total distance covered=2.5+2.5/2=3.75 km

Time=40 min=40/60=2/3 hour

Average speed=\frac{total\;distance}{total\;time}

Average speed=\frac{3.75}{2/3}=5.625km/h
