Answer: The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

Explanation:

For an object of mass M, the weight is:

W = M*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8m/s^2

And the friction force between this object and the surface can be written as:

F = W*μ

where μ is the coefficient of friction (kinetic if the object is moving, and static if the object is not moving, usually the static coefficient is larger)

In this case, the weight is:

W = 20N

And the friction force is:

F = 12N

Replacing these values in the equation for the friction force we get:

12N = 20N*μ

(12N/20N) = μ = 0.6

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

Larger. How big depends on the size of the vector. But think about pythagoras theorem to solve for the vector.

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities?<br><br> {−2x+y≤4y&gt;x+2
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The fourth graph is the answer

Explanation:

We have inequalities

-2x+y\leq 4      \rightarrow y\leq 2x+4

y>x+2

For the first inequality all points at or below the graph of y are solutions, and for the second inequality all the points above the graph of y are the solutions. So, the solution to these inequalities are points that are above the graph of y>x+2 and below the graph of y\leq 2x+4. The shaded region in the fourth graph satisfies these conditions.

<em>Looking at other choices, we see that the first two graphs do not even represent the graphs of our inequalities, and the third graph does represent the inequalities but shades the wrong region. </em>

P.S: the graph of the inequality y>x+2  is dashed because   y is "greater than" and not "equal to" x+2, so this indicates that the values on the line y=x+2 are not included. And the graph of the inequality y\leq 2x+4 is a solid line because y is "less than or equal to" 2x+4, so we are including the values on the line y=2x+4, and that's why it's solid.
