Answer:

\mu=0.185

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=17kg

Force F=33N

Velocity v=1.6m/s

Distance d= 9.8m

Generally the equation for Work done is mathematically given by

 W=\triangle K.E+\triangle P.E

Where

 \triangle K.E=(F-F_f)*2

 F_f=F+\frac{\triangle K.E}{d}

 F_f=33+\frac{0.5*17*1.6^2}{9.8}

 F_f=30.8N

Since

 f = \mu*m*g

 \mu= 30.8/(m*g)

 \mu= 30.8/(17*9.81)

 \mu=0.185

gogolik [260]

Answer:

W= 638.1 J

Explanation:

As we know that

Work done is the area of the force and displacement diagram.

W=∫F.dx

W=Work

F=force

dx=Elemental displacement

From the diagram ,area A

A= 60 x 7.09 + 1/2 x 60 x 7.09

A= 638.1 J

So the work W

W= 638.1 J

What is the best description of a convergent boundary? (Do they move towards eachother, side by side past each other, away from
IrinaVladis [17]
Convergent boundaries move towards each other. They can be classified as continental-continental, or oceanic-continental.

Oceanic-Continental: Heavier oceanic plate slides under a continental plate in a process called subduction.

Continental-Continental: Tectonic plates push up against each other and often fold upwards, creating mountain ranges.

Why does cold weather feel colder inside?
schepotkina [342]
One reason is that when you have been out in the cold, your hands feet and exposed features of your face will take time to recover as the blood circulation improves and supplied warm blood to capillaries. So the relatively warm room you enter will not immediately feel warm until the blood has regained its normal circulation. Other factors are that windows are cooled from the outside and condensation forms on the inside because of moisture in the air. For this condensation to evaporate requires heat, which will be extracted from the room and the air near the windows will be cooled. The cold air will descend and form a draught at floor level and this will tend to make the room cooler.
