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>

The unit for measuring electric power is the <br> A. ampere.<br> B. volt.<br> C. ohm.<br> D. watt.
Drupady [299]
The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.
