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

Lerok [7]
So this is dealing with the conservation of energy. So you set kinetic energy equal to potential energy, so it looks like this:

1/2mv^2=mgh. The m's cancel out, so it is 1/2v^2=gh.

To find out what the height h is, divide g on both sides, so...

h=0.5v^2/g. v=22m/s, g=9.81m/s^2, so h=(0.5)(22^2)/(9.81)=24.67m

Malia has developed Type II Diabetes. When she eats, her body
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Explanation:

Metabolism is a sum of anabolic and catabolic reactions. The body's inability to produce/synthesize enough insulin is the cause of type II diabetes. Generally, metabolism is the process in which most compounds (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) are produced (anabolism) or broken down (catabolism) in the body. Insulin is a protein that can be produced in less amount due to metabolic disorder in the body.

Maria's disease means she already has an exponentially high amount of blood sugar against the required insulin to balance it out, hence the disease already slowed down her rate of metabolism (catabolism) of blood sugar EXCEPT she decides to increase of metabolism by medication and exercise.

If a galaxy has an apparent velocity of 2300 km/s, what is its distance if the Hubble constant is assumed to be 70 km/s/Mpc
prohojiy [21]

The distance of the galaxy is 32.86 Mpc.

Using the hubble law, v = H₀D where v = apparent velocity of galaxy = 2300 km/s, H = hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc and D = distance of galaxy.

Since we require the distance of the galaxy, we make D subject of the formula in the equation. So, we have

D = v/H₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

D = 2300 km/s ÷ 70 km/s/Mpc

D = 32.86 Mpc

So, the distance of the galaxy is 32.86 Mpc
