A 25 kg box is being pulled at a constant velocity with a tension force of 65 N. what is the coefficient of friction between the

box and the ground?

The box is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law says

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

65 N + (-<em>f</em> ) = 0

where <em>n</em> denotes the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> denotes the weight of the box, and <em>f</em> denotes the magnitude of the friction force.

The box has a weight of

<em>w</em> = (25 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 245 N

so <em>n</em> = 245 N, too.

The friction force has magnitude

<em>f</em> = 65 N

and is proportional to the normal force by a factor of <em>µ</em>, the coefficient of kinetic friction. So we have

65 N = <em>µ</em> (245 N)   →  <em>µ</em> ≈ 0.26

The spectrum of light emitted by helium atoms is different than that emitted by hydrogen atoms because
MaRussiya [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The different atoms have different quantized energy levels

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The atoms of different elements have different energy levels because they have different nuclear charges and spins, and different numbers of electrons.
  • Each different kind of atom, like hydrogen or radon, has a distinct nuclear charge and number of electrons. This makes the potential energy function different for each atom, and therefore results in different energy levels.
  • In an emmission spectra, each bright band corresponds to a difference between energy levels within the atom.

4.Use Ohm’s Law to determine the resistance in a circuit if the voltage is 12.0 volts and the current is 4.0 amps.

A. 8.0 ohms B. 48 ohms C. 3.0 ohms D. 12 ohms

Ohm's law is V=IR, or I=V/R, or R=V/I. (I= current, V= voltage, R= resistance.) Let's plug in our variables: V=12.0, I=4.0, R=? into the equation R=V/I. 12.0/4.0=3.0, so the resistance is 3.0 ohms.
