Answer:

<h3>0.445</h3>

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta

Given

θ = 24°

\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445

charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum

An electron in a region where there is an electric field experiences a force of magnitude 3.5 10-16 n. what is the magnitude of
natima [27]
<span>The force that an object feels in an electric field is the magnitude of the electric field E times the charge on the object Q. We know that the magnitude of the charge of an electron is 1.6 x 10^{-19} C F = E x Q E = F / Q E = (3.5 x 10^{-16} N) / (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) E = 2.19 x 10^3 N/C The magnitude of the electric field at the location of the electron is 2.19 x 10^3 N/C</span>

a kid is flying a kite 58 meters above the level ground. a small lead sphere is dropped from the kite. calculate the amount of t
Fynjy0 [20]

This is the formula you need to memorize:  

D = 1/2 · a · T²

Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (Time²)

This formula tells the distance an object falls in any amount of time.

This question tells you the distance (58m), and you know the acceleration (gravity, 9.8 m/s²), so you can use this formula to find the time.

Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (Time²)

58m  =  (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (Time²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²) :  Time²  =  (58/4.9) seconds²

Take the square root of each side:  <em>Time = 3.44 seconds  </em>
