Answer:

0.196

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law

\sumFx = ma

Fm-Ff = ma

Fm is the moving force

Ff is the frictional force

m is the mass = 9kg

a is the acceleration = 2.4m/s²

Fm = Wsin theta

Fm = 9(9.8)sin25°

Fm = 37.28N

Ff is the frictional force = nmgcos theta

Ff = n(9)(9.8)cos25°

Ff = 79.94n

Substitute the given values into the formula

37.28-79.94n = 9(2.4)

-79.94n = 21.6-37.28

-79.94n = -15.68

n = 15.68/79.94

n = 0.196

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the potted plant and the incline is 0.196

A fireworks shell is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 68.0 m/s over a distance of 0.230 m.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

(A) 10052.2 m/s²

(B)  0.00678 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

(A) Applying

V² = U²+2as..................... Equation 1

Where V = Final velocity, U = Initial velocity, a = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.

make a the subject of the  equation

a = (V²-U²)/2s........................ Equation 2

Given: U = 0 m/s( from rest), V = 68 m/s, s = 0.230 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = (68²-0²)/(2×0.230)

a = 10052.2 m/s²

(B) Using,

a = (V-U)/t......................... Equation 3

Where t= time.

make t the subject of the equation

t = (V-U)/a......................... Equation 4

Given: V = 68 m/s, U = 0 m/s, a = 10052.2

Substitute into equation 4

t = (68-0)/10052.2

t = 0.00678 seconds
