A cup of coffee is sitting on a table in a train that is moving with a constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction bet

ween the cup and the table is 0.30. Suddenly, the train accelerates. What is the maximum acceleration that the train can have without the cup sliding backward on the table?

Answer:

a = 2.94 m/s²

Explanation:

In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

ma = μR = μW

ma = μmg

a = μg

where,

a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>a = 2.94 m/s²</u>

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

The diameter of our disk-shaped galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 1.0 x 10^5 light-years (ly). The distance to the Andromeda galax
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

500 cm

Explanation:

Diameter of Milky Way = 1\times 10^5\ ly

Here, this distance is equal = 25 cm

1\times 10^5\ ly=25\ cm

\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=\frac{1}{25}\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ cm=0.04\times 10^5\ ly\\\Rightarrow 1\ ly=\frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\ cm

Distance between the Andromeda galaxy and Milky Way is 2 million ly

2\times 10^6\ ly=2\times 10^6\times \frac{1}{0.04\times 10^5}\\\Rightarrow 2\times 10^6\ ly=500\ cm

Hence, the plates would be 500 cm apart
