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

Sketch a reaction progress curve for a reaction that has an activation energy of 22 kj and the total energy change is -103kj.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Do find the answer in the attachment herein.

Explanation:

From the attached diagram:

I. Activation energy = Activated complex - ∆H(reactants)

Activation energy = 162-140 = 22Kj.

II. ∆H(reaction) = ∆H(products) - ∆H(reactants)

∆H(reaction) = 37 - 140 = -103Kj.

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily decreasing at a speed of 1.14 m/s, you accidentally drop your cell phone. H
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The distance covered by the balloon is 47.52 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the balloon, u = 1.14 m/

Let us assumed we need to find the distance covered by the balloon after t = 3 second. Let d is the distance covered by the balloon. It can be given by :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, a = g

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

d=1.14\times 3+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3)^2

d = 47.52 meters

So, the distance covered by the balloon is 47.52 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
